Description
The property comprises an extremely well presented two-double-bedroom extended bungalow, forming part of the popular and established Woodfields development, which can be found in the centre of Stradbroke.  Originally dating from the early 1970s, 11 Woodfields was extended and refurbished by the current owner in 2018/2019 to create an extremely well presented and spacious bungalow of approximately 1,255 square feet (116 square metres).  The refurbishment also provided for wheelchair access, including the widening of doorways and the removal of door thresholds.  Extension works created the impressive open plan kitchen and dining room arrangement, as well as enlarging the master bedroom and creating the en-suite wet room.  The remainder of the house was refurbished, including the bathroom, and a new external oil-fired external boiler being installed, along with a replacement bunded storage tank.  This serves the radiators and underfloor heating system, as well as the hot water system.   

The accommodation comprises a spacious entrance hall, 22’ sitting room that leads through, via a wide opening, to the 22’ kitchen and dining room to the rear, which forms part of the extension.  The kitchen area is extremely well fitted and contains a number of integral Neff appliances.  Off the entrance hall is the 22’ master bedroom, which has an en-suite wet room, along with a second double bedroom and a bathroom.  

Outside, there is a generous tarmac driveway that is sufficiently large enough for three to four vehicles, together with an attached single garage.  The rear garden has been landscaped, with a large Indian sandstone patio area immediately adjoining the rear of the property, beyond which is a central area that is laid to grass, with a perimeter border containing a variety of spring and perennial flowers, as well as a number of established shrubs.
