This modern spacious 3 bedroom detached bungalow style residence with its large and generous room portions throughout make the internal living space feel airy and very spacious for a 3 bedroom property. Newly constructed in 2003 this deceptive, spacious and modern family home was constructed on an old cottage acre site and now stands on 0.75 Acres. This modern, bright and airy property is a credit to its owners and local architect who designed this stunning residence to fit into its surrounding area in keeping with the traditional old style cottage that is next door. Since ''Ducketts Grove'' construction there has been another one or two modern style residences constructed nearby which gives the location a good mix of old and new style property.

When designing the property the vendors and their architect wanted to create a family home that was easy to live in, extremely energy efficient yet comfortable all year round. They attained this by installing a state of the art Firebird oil condensing boiler to power a two zoned heating system. A lot of glass was used in the build, giving a feeling of space and light and also to maximise the use of solar heat to cut fuel consumption and for the obvious reason of wanting to take in as much of amazing views as possible. A total living area of 2,200 (Sq. Ft) 204.38 (m2) the property offers a lot of internal living space laid out over one ground floor. One large reception room with open fireplace, a large modern and fully fitted kitchen with Work Island complemented with separate utility room and a very spacious WC all on the ground floor.

There are lovely views from within the property. Outside the property benefits from a large south/south west facing garden with south/south west facing patio area which can be accessed from the kitchen cum dinning, all to enjoy a fine summer day and the stunning views. This property needs to be viewed to be appreciated.
