Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

The house by the park is a single storey dwelling with three bedrooms. It was built as a bungalow which we have extended since we moved in.
It has a small sitting room, with a wood burning stove and tv stuff, on the front, with windows to the south (facing the park) and to the west. The rear of the house is an open plan area consisting of a new kitchen, orangery with a glass lantern roof and leading from that the area we use a study/ sitting room and has the laptop and printer. Leading from here is the main bedroom with an en-suite shower room.
The guest bedroom is on the front of the house and has an adjoining “Jack and Jill” bathroom with shower. The third bedroom is behind the guest room and is accessed from the kitchen area. This is not for use during the exchange.
The utility room is part of the converted garage and has a washing machine, tumble dryer and freezers. The brand new kitchen houses two built in ovens, two fridge freezers, an induction hob and a dishwasher. As I like to cook, it is well equipped.

The garden is mainly grass with fruit trees but also a vegetable area and green house which has vegetables depending on the season. There are 2 patio areas with garden furniture and cantilever umbrellas. Beside the house, behind tall wooden gates is an area I’m developing into a courtyard garden. There is space for two or three cars to the front of the house.

It’s a quiet area, as it is a no through road and very little foot traffic. The park in front however is popular with dog walkers and is busy at the beginning and at the end of the school day with children walking to the nearby school

Facilities

3 beds, 2 baths, both with showers. Open fireplace
