It's no longer just downsizers who covet a bungalow. Families like them because they usually come with such generous gardens and when it comes to holding their value and attracting new buyers, they are hard to beat – which certainly applies to this detached bungalow in East Morton.

With its contemporary open plan interior and mezzanine floor this delightful home has a wonderful sense of space and light.

But it was the location that first attracted the current owners when they bought it nine years ago. Nine years ago when they were looking for a new home, it was where it was that was important to them.

“The main factor when buying any house should always be location, and being situated in the beautiful village of East Morton was certainly a huge deciding factor for us.

“What You get is the best of both worlds: a classic village in every sense with its picturesque backdrop and warm, friendly residents, yet offering easy access to city life, being within commuting distance of Bradford, Leeds and Keighley.”

The bungalow also ticked so many of the boxes: “It was a one-storey house which sat on a very generous footprint. This combined with genuine usable floor space, and the second lounge with its high ceiling and mezzanine level, were the main reason the house appealed to us so much. It offered so much scope and potential where many others fell short.”

Offered with no chain, and delightfully situated within superb gardens in this fashionable village this individually designed and contemporary three bedroom detached bungalow offers deceptively spacious and well proportioned living accommodation at ground floor level, including an open plan lounge dining area, kitchen, superb conservatory, three attractive bedrooms and bathroom.

Over the years the property has been extensively renovated. “New gas central heating, new electrics throughout, new kitchen and bathroom, and just recently, a new roof to the double garage. Large feature windows in the lounge offer lovely views, and an impressive conservatory means even more living and entertaining space.

Some contemporary interiors can feel cold and uninviting, but not so this home. The cosy lounge has a lovely combination of picture windows to the front, window to the side, wood flooring and feature wall, offers a cosy feel, while the floating modern base units in the kitchen with its built in oven, integrated dishwasher and wood flooring make the space feel even bigger.

All the bedrooms have wooden flooring; the tiled bathroom has a quality, three piece white suite and tiled walls.

“Our favourite room is the second lounge with its feature mezzanine level. Being connected to the new conservatory means this particular room is multifunctional. It can be a family room, an area for entertaining, or simply a room to escape to. This style room was unique to the property and was definitely a huge deciding factor when we purchased the house.

Outside the property offers a pleasant generous position, with a double driveway leading to a double garage, large decking areas to the rear with feature pond. “The garden is split into two sections. The front garden is more traditional with a long lawn area spanning the length of the house, which can be enjoyed through the floor-to-ceiling feature window in the main lounge.

“The back garden has been completely decked and is framed with tall greenery, and also includes a pond and water feature. It’s an great area for entertaining and outdoor dining, which has been used so many times over the years for so many family occasions.”

“We are going to miss the lifestyle the property offers the most. The open plan living style gives the house its soul and creates a very sociable and light family space which connects to the impressive outdoor area we have created.

“The property is filled with many happy memories of long summer days spent with family and friends and warm cosy winter evenings.

“Needless to say, this house will be a hard act to follow.”
