About this property

DESCRIPTION Bandol comprises an impressive four-bedroom detached bungalow positioned in the peaceful village of Carbrooke, within striking distance of the market town of Watton. The property, gardens and paddock are an increasingly rare offering, having not been on the open market for almost 37 years and stands proudly above the minor road on Drury Lane. This lovely opportunity will be of interest to a wide variety of buyers keen to establish themselves in a special place.

The property is approached at the front into a wide entrance hall which provides access to the principal rooms, three double bedrooms and the recently renovated family bathroom suite. Across the southern wing of the bungalow the dining room links in beautifully with the kitchen and garden room which enjoys fine views over the gardens and access onto the attractive terrace. The sitting room is a super space with its delightful sanded wooden flooring, feature fireplace and French doors out onto the terrace. Off the sitting room lies the principal bedroom with bay window and access into the en-suite shower room.

The gardens and grounds are a major feature to Bandol and amount to some 1.058 acres (stms). The property is approached at the front off Drury Lane into a shingled elevated driveway which leads up to the side and front of the house, with parking available for a number of vehicles. A gate at the side leads into the rear gardens and up to the garage 21' and attached workshop 19' which could be used for a number of purposes subject to the necessary planning consents.

The main gardens are predominantly lawned and enjoy a vast range of established flower beds and borders which screen the property beautifully. There are a number of trees within the grounds, both young and old, with an established hedge which runs into the paddock forming the boundary. The paddock at the rear is a versatile space and would make a terrific pitch/childrens play area. There are a range of small outbuildings used for general storage purposes, and once housed chickens.
