3 bed bungalow for sale

Moulsham Copse Lane, Yateley GU46

Description

This detached bungalow offers a combination that is rarely available in one home: A three-bedroom main residence together with a separate one-bedroom self-contained annexe. In all, the accommodation extends to approximately 1,847 sq ft and sits on a plot of around 0.38 acres. The arrangement provides the everyday ease of single-storey living while also giving the next owner the ability to accommodate family, guests or an independent household without everyone having to share the same space.

The principal bungalow has its own entrance hall and includes three bedrooms, two reception rooms, a kitchen, bathroom and separate WC, as well as a full-width, south-facing sun room to the rear. Overlooking the garden, this additional living space can serve as a garden-view lounge, home office or playroom and also benefits from a separate WC. The sitting room and reception room give the main house a flexibility that is easy to appreciate. They can be used as a main living room and dining room, but there is no reason for the space to be fixed in that way. One might become a quieter family room, a place for reading or hobbies, or a room reserved for when friends and family come to stay. The layout gives the main home enough room to work well day to day without relying on the annexe for ordinary living space.

The annexe is what makes this property particularly distinctive. It has its own bedroom, living room, kitchen and bathroom, creating a genuinely useful additional area that can work in many different ways. It may suit a relative who values some independence while remaining close to family, an adult child who needs a degree of separation, visiting guests, a carer, or simply a household that wants another place in which to work, relax or pursue interests. It is connected to the main house, so it remains part of the home rather than feeling detached from it, yet the kitchen, bathroom and living space give it a practical identity of its own.

Outside, the 0.38-acre plot adds to the sense of space. There are large gardens to the front and rear, while the private driveway provides parking for around eight vehicles. The triple garage is another important practical benefit. It can accommodate cars, equipment, storage or workshop space, and will appeal to buyers whose interests or work require more than a standard garage. The garden, driveway and garage give the property the sort of useful outside capacity that supports both the main house and the annexe, rather than treating the annexe as an afterthought.

The property is freehold and has gas central heating, mains water and mains drainage, as well as a solid-fuel Parkray fireplace and chimney and an array of 32 solar panels. Those straightforward details support a home with two living areas and a plot of this size. Whether the annexe is used for family, guests or work, the property offers room to accommodate changing needs without sacrificing the independence of either part of the house. It is a house where each space has a clear purpose.

Yateley has the settled character of an established north-east Hampshire town. It has its own schools, services and community life, while remaining connected to the wider road and rail network across Hampshire, Berkshire and Surrey. Eversley is close by and provides a contrasting village setting, with country lanes, open countryside and local pubs available without having to give up the practical convenience of Yateley. It is a location that works for people who want to remain connected to familiar day-to-day facilities while having the surrounding villages and countryside close at hand.

Education is likely to be relevant to many buyers considering a home of this scale. Westfields Infant School and Westfields Junior School serve younger children in Yateley, with Cranford Park Church of England Primary School providing another local option. Yateley School serves secondary-age pupils and includes a sixth form. Yateley Manor offers an independent preparatory route, while Eversley adds Charles Kingsley's Church of England Primary School and St Neot's Preparatory School to the choices available across the wider area. These are not reasons to assume one education route will suit every household, but they give buyers a number of options to consider as their circumstances change.

For travel, Sandhurst and Crowthorne are the usual nearby rail options. Sandhurst is on the North Downs Line, with services towards Reading, Guildford, Redhill and Gatwick Airport. The A30 and M3 provide road links towards Camberley, Farnborough, Basingstoke, the M25 and London, as well as routes towards Reading and the Thames Valley. This is useful not only for commuting but for the ordinary business of family life, keeping in touch with relatives and reaching the wider area without feeling removed from it.

Offered for sale at £900,000, this is a substantial detached bungalow with a properly equipped one-bedroom annexe, generous gardens, extensive parking and triple garaging. It deserves to be viewed with the practical possibilities in mind: Not simply as a larger bungalow, but as a home that can accommodate different generations, changing circumstances and separate ways of living under one roof.
