Tucked away in one of the most sought-after areas of town, this unique detached bungalow offers a rare combination of seclusion, space, and convenience. Nestled within the charming Castle Quarter, the property enjoys an exceptionally private setting, just moments from local amenities yet shielded from the hustle and bustle by its generous, sun-drenched plot.

A standout feature is the 100-foot deep landscaped garden, thoughtfully designed to provide multiple sunny seating areas and a strong sense of privacy. To the rear, a substantial timber studio offers the perfect space for a home office, creative retreat, or guest accommodation — with further potential to extend or add an additional outbuilding, subject to the necessary consents.

Believed to date from the 1930s and extended in more recent years, the bungalow blends character with comfort. Inside, you'll find two well-proportioned bedrooms, a modern shower room with underfloor heating, and a beautifully light-filled kitchen/family room — complete with high ceilings and ample space for entertaining.
