This detached bungalow is in a private, gated cul-de-sac in a much-sought-after location with off-street parking to the front. The property extends to 85sq m (915sq ft), and is incredibly bright thanks to skylights, picture windows and a quadruple bifold door that opens up the entire wall to a landscaped back garden.
