Directions From St. James' Church travel south along Upgate and continue up the hill to the traffic lights at the crossroads - turn left here along Newmarket and follow the road.

Follow the road (which becomes Wood Lane) and take the third left turn into Spire View Road. Continue until the property is found on the left side.

The Property The property is estimated to date back around 35-40 years and is of traditional brick-faced cavity wall construction beneath a pitched timber roof structure covered in concrete interlocking tiles. The bungalow has been the subject of a meticulous improvement scheme and is now superbly presented. Heating is by a gas central heating system and the accommodation has double-glazed, low-maintenance uPVC-framed windows in white with complementary fascias and soffits. The kitchen and bathroom have both been tastefully refitted during the present owner's time at the property and an excellent long carport has been built at the side of the bungalow providing a spacious covered parking area with drive-through access to the garage. The rear garden enjoys a warm, sunny aspect, particularly during the afternoon and evening and is enclosed with a good size timber workshop/store to one side.

Outside The bungalow is set back from the road as there is a deep verge to Spire View Road at this point and the front garden is neatly arranged as a lawn enclosed by hawthorn hedge to the front and side, with shrubbery borders, two silver birch trees, rose tree and bedding plants. Access can be gained around the left side of the bungalow as far as a storage area for wheelie bins.
