Description

Buastede comprises an impressive and beautifully appointed bungalow with three double bedrooms, occupying a generous plot backing onto open farmland, in the centre of Bedfield.  The vendors acquired Buastede in 2016 and shortly thereafter commissioned an extensive refurbishment of the property, which included reconfiguring the accommodation.  They also added a stunning double-height extension to the rear to create an open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room that links wonderfully well with the landscaped rear garden via the aluminium framed bi-fold doors.  In addition to the internal refurbishment and extension, the property was also completely rewired and a new heating and hot water system installed, including an external oil-fired boiler.  The entire roof covering was also replaced.  

The vendors are keen gardeners and have invested a huge amount of time into landscaping the outside areas.  The rear garden is a stunning area with well-stocked meandering borders containing a wide variety of specimen flowers and shrubs, together with a pond, vegetable patch, orchard area and range of useful outbuildings.  The rear garden has an overall length of approximately 115 feet and backs onto open agricultural land. In all, the plot extends to nearly a third of an acre.

Outside

Buastede is set well back from the village street and is approached via a meandering shingle driveway that is flanked by well-stocked mature borders containing a variety of specimen flowers, shrubs and trees.  

The driveway continues to the front of the property, where there is access to the covered porch and front door.  Beside the driveway is the garden, which comprises a central area that is laid to lawn and enclosed by well-stocked mature borders.  To the rear of the driveway is the garage, with up-and-over door, power and light connected, and personnel door to the side.  

Buastede benefits from large plot of nearly one third of an acre including the beautiful rear garden, which the vendors have spent a huge amount of time landscaping in recent years.  The garden comprises a large patio area that immediately adjoins the rear of the property and links wonderfully well with the sitting room via the bi-fold doors, and a partly enclosed seating area with pergola supporting a mature honeysuckle.  The garden comprises a central area that is laid to lawn, with well-stocked meandering borders, a pond, vegetable patches, orchard and wildflower meadow.  At the very rear, the garden backs on to and overlooks open agricultural land.

The rear garden also benefits from a number of useful outbuildings including two timber-framed storage sheds, a greenhouse and a useful store room that forms part of the original bungalow.
