Merryfield, TA9

Description

Beautifully presented two-bedroom bungalow offering step-free, wheelchair-accessible living and eco-friendly credentials, with ample driveway parking and gardens, in a quiet residential area in the heart of Mark.

This warm and welcoming home is finished throughout in a modern, neutral colour palette, with thoughtfully adapted kitchen and wet room to accommodate a wheelchair user. (Please note, the door frames throughout the house are standard width). The kitchen is fitted with a sleek range of wall and base units with an elevating sink and lowered worksurface with induction hob. The sitting room spans the depth of the property and is an open-plan ‘L’ shaped space with room for comfortable seating and a dining table. French doors open to the garden room which stretches across the back of the bungalow and creates a satisfying flow back round into the kitchen. The large principal suite was originally two smaller bedrooms which have been knocked through to create a fabulous bedroom with a Jack and Jill wetroom. This smart, modern wet room is fitted with a shower area with foldout seat, a wash-hand basin, WC and heated ladder towel rail. A second double bedroom shares the Jack and Jill shower room with access from the hall. There is also a useful storage cupboard, an airing cupboard and a cloakroom off the hall.

Outside, the bungalow is set back on its level plot, with gardens front and back and extensive paved driveway for multiple vehicles to the side of the property, leading through the carport to the garage. The rear garden is south-facing, and mainly laid to lawn with mature, colourful borders, wooden pergola and paved seating area. The garage has been transformed into a sound-proofed music room which, the vendor informs us, could easily be converted back into a garage if needed.

The property has an enviable energy performance rating of a ‘B’, reflecting the efficiency of the air source heat pump and solar panels (installed in 2024).

Agent’s note: The vendor has informed us that building regulations were not required for the conversions made.
