Character, charm and a location to love
There's something instantly appealing about this delightful 1930s bungalow. From the moment you arrive, the pretty front garden and meandering pathway set the scene for a home filled with character, warmth and those lovely original touches that are becoming increasingly hard to find. Set on approximately 859 square meter in a sought-after central location, the home offers two generous double bedrooms, both with wardrobes, along with beautifully proportioned living spaces that make it feel much larger than you might expect. At the heart of the home is a practical rimu kitchen with plenty of storage, including a pantry, display cabinetry and even the traditional pull-out breadboards. The large rear deck area opens into an enclosed 'porch' area - a handy everyday entrance from the backyard, providing the perfect spot to leave shoes, coats or gardening gear before stepping inside. Also includes a broom cupboard and other storage, and entry into the large stand-alone laundry. The separate sunny dining room is a particularly charming space, complete with a window seat, French doors and bespoke stained-glass panels, while the adjoining lounge is wonderfully cosy with its gas fireplace. Traditional picture rails add another nod to the home's era and provide the perfect place to display artwork without compromising the walls. The family bathroom is generous in size and includes a separate spa bath and shower, while the main bedroom features an additional nook currently used as a small office or equally suited to a dressing area, shelving or extra storage. Double glazing throughout adds another layer of comfort. Outside, the established gardens are full of personality, with mature planting, a variety of fruit trees, a traditional garden shed, and plenty of space to potter, relax or simply enjoy the seasons changing. The backyard opens towards Rugby Park, giving the property a lovely sense of space, and from time to time you may even find yourself catching some of the local sporting action or community events from just beyond the fence. A separate single garage with shelving and benches, along with additional off-street parking, completes the picture. And then there's the location. Town, shops, sporting facilities and the aquatic centre are all close at hand, making this a wonderfully convenient place to call home. Whether you're downsizing from the country, looking for a character home close to town, or simply want somewhere with a little more heart and personality, this charming bungalow is well worth discovering. Come and take a closer look - it's move in ready now and may just be the little character home you've been waiting for.
