Forge Lane Zeals, BA12

Set in a peaceful, tucked way position within a private close of just six properties, this exceptionally well presented two bedroom detached bungalow offers a rare opportunity for those seeking tranquillity and seclusion within a popular village setting.

Originally a three bedroom home, the current owners have thoughtfully reconfigured and modernised the layout to create a light-filled, spacious residence, nestled within a generous and mature garden plot of approximately 0.23 acres.

Ideal for gardening enthusiasts, the garden features well-maintained lawns, fruit trees, soft fruits, chicken run, and a vegetable patch, perfect for enjoying a sustainable lifestyle.

Inside, the dual aspect sitting room boasts an attractive fireplace with a wood-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting space to relax. The L-shaped kitchen is well-appointed with a comprehensive range of units and ample worktop space. The dining room, formerly a bedroom and hallway, is ideal for entertaining family and friends.

The two bedrooms are accessed via an inner hallway: a generous double and a comfortable single, currently used as a sewing room. A modern bathroom and a practical utility/boot room complete the accommodation.

Additional features include off-road parking for 3�4 vehicles, propane gas central heating, and double-glazed windows throughout.

In summary, this is a rare and well maintained home in a desirable and discreet location, perfect for downsizers, gardeners, or anyone looking for a peaceful retreat with all the comforts of modern living.
