There are homes that reveal themselves gradually, and then there are those that make an immediate impression. This exceptional four-bedroom detached bungalow on Yeomans Way most certainly belongs in the latter category.
Fabulously extended and transformed in recent years by its current owner, the property has been thoughtfully reimagined to create a home that feels contemporary, luxurious and wonderfully sociable, whilst retaining all the ease and versatility associated with single-level living.
The undeniable star of the show is the spectacular open-plan kitchen, dining and living space. Generous, light-filled and designed with entertaining firmly in mind, this is a room with genuine wow factor and one that immediately sets the property apart.
At its heart sits an incredible contemporary kitchen, centred around a substantial island that naturally becomes the gathering point of the room. Beautifully designed and exceptionally well equipped, the kitchen incorporates an impressive array of integrated appliances, everything one could wish for, together with plentiful preparation and storage space.
Whether it is morning coffee at the island, relaxed family suppers, Sunday lunch or a house full of friends, this is a kitchen designed to be enjoyed rather than simply used.
The dining and living areas flow effortlessly alongside, creating one fabulous social space with a wonderful connection to the garden beyond. It is easy to imagine the vast floor-to-ceiling bifolding doors open on a summer's day, allowing the entertaining space to spill outside and creating that effortless transition between house and garden that works so beautifully for contemporary living.
A separate utility room keeps the everyday necessities discreetly away from the main living space and, importantly, is generous enough to comfortably accommodate a home-office set-up too, ideal for those wanting somewhere dedicated to work from home without sacrificing one of the bedrooms.
The bedroom accommodation is equally impressive. Four double bedrooms and three beautifully appointed bathrooms provide an unusual degree of flexibility for a bungalow, complemented by a separate guest cloakroom, particularly useful when entertaining.
The generous arrangement of accommodation makes the property wonderfully suited to families, couples wanting plenty of room for visiting friends and relatives, or those looking towards future-proofed single-level living. It also offers excellent potential for multigenerational living, with enough space and facilities to allow different generations to live comfortably together whilst retaining a sense of independence.
Outside, the same attention to lifestyle, presentation and ease of ownership continues.
The south-facing rear garden has been thoughtfully designed to maximise enjoyment whilst keeping maintenance refreshingly low. Beautiful large-format porcelain tiles create an elegant expanse of terrace for outdoor sofas, dining furniture and entertaining, while colourful planting in pots and containers brings softness, personality and seasonal interest without the demands of a traditional garden.
And then there are the views. The wonderful outlook provides a fabulous backdrop to the outside space, making this somewhere to linger over a morning coffee, enjoy long summer lunches with friends or simply sit back with a glass of something chilled at the end of the day.
Practicality has certainly not been forgotten either. To the front, a generous private driveway provides ample off-road parking, complemented by an integrated store, an increasingly desirable combination and particularly useful for a home of this size.
The result is a property that challenges every preconception of bungalow living. Stylish, spacious and beautifully executed, it offers the proportions and flexibility of a substantial family home combined with the ease of predominantly single-storey accommodation.
A genuine ‘wow’ home and one that really does need to be stepped inside to be fully appreciated.
