This is a fantastic opportunity to purchase a bungalow within easy walking distance of Bewdley town centre and wonderful neighbouring countryside, a rarity indeed. The property is situated on a fantastic plot of around one quarter of an acre, with delightful views across the valley from the front and top of the rear garden. Internally, the bungalow requires some general updating, providing an excellent chance for the new owner to put their own mark on the property.
Gorst Bank is well set back and also elevated from the Dowles Road, with steps and also a wheelchair friendly paved pathway providing access from the parking area. Currently, the latter provides off road parking for two vehicles, with scope to extend if required by excavating some of the remaining front garden.
The front garden comprises a long lawn with mature borders and a raised paved area which extends to the side of the bungalow, providing access to the rear garden.
Once through the front door one is greeted by a spacious hallway with room for hanging coats, loft hatch accessing the roof and doors leading to the living accommodation and bedrooms.
The large bay fronted living room takes in the delightful views across the valley and has two radiators plus a window to the side aspect. Situated at the back of the property is the kitchen with views over the garden and has lots of scope to enlarge by extending to the side and/or rear. Comprising matching wall and base units, work surfaces with inset ceramic sink drainer, electric hob with extractor above, built-in electric oven/grill and space for additional appliances including a fridge, washing machine and dishwasher.
Just off the kitchen is a useful side porch / utility room, featuring a cupboard housing the 'Worcester' combination boiler and glazed door leading outside.
Bedrooms and bathroom
The bedrooms and bathroom are nicely situated away from the living accommodation, allowing for a user-friendly layout.
Bedroom one is a spacious bay fronted double room with a radiator, a window to the front aspect and a fitted wardrobe.
Towards the rear of the property are bedrooms two and three, bedroom two is a second double room overlooking the garden, having a radiator and a window. Bedroom three is a good-sized single having a radiator and a window to rear aspect.
The bathroom has a white suite comprising a panelled bath, pedestal wash basin and low level WC, it is also spacious enough to accommodate a separate shower cubicle which has tiled walls and an electric shower.
Garden
The substantial rear garden is an excellent feature of the property, being well established and nicely laid out with lovely valley views to be enjoyed from the elevated top sections. Comprising a tiered patio at the rear of the bungalow with five steps rising to a further paved area and a large section of lawn bordered by mature trees and hedging.
