Greenacres occupies a prime, village location and has been a much-loved home. Built in the 1950’s this rare, detached bungalow standing in mature grounds of 0.62 acres requires general modernisation and is available with NO CHAIN. Well positioned on this highly sought after, leafy lane and offering considerable development potential this traditional home with high ceilings throughout offers accommodation to include four reception rooms, kitchen, three double bedrooms and family bathroom. A gated driveway provides ample hardstanding and access to an attached, double garage. The rear gardens which are extremely private are considered a particular feature and within the grounds are a number of specimen trees including several old fruit trees. As such properties are rarely available on the open market, early viewing is strongly recommended.
