This impressive four-bedroom bungalow is ideally situated in a sought-after area, conveniently located near esteemed schools, a variety of local amenities, popular parks, and excellent transport links.

This unique property is on the market for the first time, built for the current owners 70 years ago.

The original three bedroom property was built in 1955, designed by the celebrated architect Leslie H Gooday OBE FRIBA FCSD FRSA.

The design is unique incorporating features like floor to eaves windows and high ceilings which follow the 7 degree roof profile. All doors are veneered with straight-grained elm. These original features all remain in place.

The original bungalow was extended in 1976 adding two bedrooms, a new bathroom and on the first floor an integral garage which could easily be converted into a home office, accessed by a bridge from the highway! The extension was also designed by the original architect, L H Gooday.

The original design was featured in the November 1957 edition of ‘The Builder’ and the 1958 edition of the ‘Ideal Home Magazine’ – Book of Plans.

The property offers a spacious living and reception room characterized by exposed Uxbridge buff brickwork and complemented by wooden Parana pine panelling walls that adds a touch of elegance and warmth.

The separate kitchen and breakfast room, along with an additional lean-to or conservatory area, enhance the home's functionality and convenience.

With two well-appointed bathrooms and ample storage options throughout, each room exudes a bright and airy atmosphere, making it a comfortable living space for families.

The standout feature of this remarkable home is undoubtedly the expansive 93-foot rear garden, which offers a serene escape surrounded by lush greenery. This mature garden serves as a perfect sanctuary for relaxation or entertaining guests during the warm summer months, providing a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

The combination of the bungalow's spacious interiors and the enchanting outdoor space creates an ideal setting for both family gatherings and quiet moments of solitude, making it a truly exceptional property.
