"A Spacious Detached Bungalow with Generous Gardens in a Rural Coastal Setting "
The Property
Flatts Close is a spacious detached bungalow occupying a generous plot in a peaceful position near Bootle Station, with open countryside, coastal scenery and far-reaching views towards the sea and surrounding mountains. Extending to approximately 1,856 sq ft, the property offers well-proportioned single-storey accommodation, including three double bedrooms and a substantial games room, complemented by extensive gardens, generous parking and useful ancillary storage.
The entrance hall is broad and welcoming, finished with practical LVT flooring and providing a straightforward route through the principal accommodation. To one side, the living room is a generous and comfortable space, with a broad window drawing in plenty of natural light and framing views towards the sea. A substantial stone fireplace with an oak beam houses a multi-fuel stove, creating a strong focal point and giving the room a warm, relaxed character.
The kitchen/diner is particularly well suited to everyday living and entertaining. Contemporary cabinetry is arranged around extensive work surfaces, with integrated appliances and a broad breakfast bar providing useful preparation space and informal seating. There is ample room for a dining table alongside, while bifold doors open directly onto the rear patio and garden, bringing the outside into view and making the most of the mountain outlook beyond.
Leading from the kitchen, the boot room provides a practical secondary entrance, ideal after walks along the coast or time spent in the garden. A separate WC and useful built-in stores sit alongside.
The three bedrooms are grouped together on the opposite side of the bungalow. The principal bedroom is especially generous, with fitted wardrobes, windows to two elevations and views towards the sea. The remaining bedrooms are both comfortable doubles and enjoy views towards the surrounding mountains, providing flexible accommodation for family, guests or home working.
The bedrooms are served by a contemporary family bathroom, fitted with a four-piece suite including a bath, separate shower, WC and wash basin.
A substantial former garage has been converted into a games and bar room, creating a flexible additional space for entertaining, hobbies or leisure. The room could readily be returned to garage use, or potentially adapted to create an annexe with its own separate entrance, subject to any necessary consents. Two electrically operated garage doors remain, adding further practicality to this part of the property.
Externally
The gardens are a significant feature of Flatts Close and extend around the bungalow within a generous plot. Immediately to the rear, a broad patio provides an excellent setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, with direct access from the kitchen/diner through the bifold doors.
Beyond, the garden opens into an extensive lawn bordered by established hedging and mature planting, with attractive views towards the sea and surrounding mountains. Productive and practical elements are well catered for, with fruit trees, an allotment area, greenhouse, polytunnel and potting shed, alongside space for keeping hens. A separate seating area provides another sheltered place to enjoy the garden, while there is also a dedicated hot tub area.
The substantial driveway provides ample parking for several vehicles, while garage and outdoor storage provide useful space for bikes, garden equipment and outdoor pursuits. Three external taps, including one hot water tap and two cold, are another practical addition.
