Hawks Hill, Bourne End

Set within an exceptional and private plot of approximately 1.45 acres, this substantial detached bungalow offers a rare opportunity to acquire a truly unique home.

Approached via a private driveway, the property enjoys complete seclusion, with the grounds forming a truly special feature. The expansive gardens wrap around the home and are predominantly laid to lawn, interspersed with a variety of established fruit trees and mature planting, creating a picturesque and ever-changing landscape throughout the seasons, making this an ideal retreat for those seeking privacy and a connection to nature.

In addition to the gardens, the plot also benefits from an old stable block and garage, offering excellent potential for a range of uses, whether for storage, hobbies or future development (subject to the usual planning consents). The sheer scale of the grounds provides exceptional scope, offering exciting opportunities to extend, reconfigure or further develop the property (STPP), allowing purchasers to truly tailor the home to their needs.

The accommodation is both spacious and flexible, with up to five bedrooms arranged across a well-considered layout. Upon entering, a welcoming entrance hall leads through double doors into the impressive 27ft kitchen/family room, undoubtedly the heart of the home. This superb space is designed for modern living and entertaining, complete with a central island providing seating for six, and enjoying a dual aspect with views over the side and rear gardens.
A recently re-fitted shower room adds contemporary convenience, while a versatile home office/bedroom four benefits from wall-to-wall fitted wardrobes and delightful garden views. The hallway continues to a study area, thoughtfully created within the original front entrance space.

An internal vestibule, ideal for additional storage, leads through to the principal bedroom, which enjoys a tranquil outlook over the gardens and is complemented by a stylish, recently re-fitted en-suite featuring a double-sided walk-in shower. This area also provides access to bedroom five, currently utilised as a dressing room. Further along the hallway, bedroom two is a particularly impressive space with a triple aspect and its own set of French doors opening onto the side driveway, while bedroom three offers character with a feature fireplace. A family bathroom and separate utility room complete the internal accommodation.

This is a unique and versatile home, perfectly suited to those seeking a blend of rural tranquillity, generous living space, and future potential.
