2 bed bungalow for sale

Mandelyns, Northchurch HP4

Why buy this home?

A bungalow should make life simpler, but it should still feel like a proper home. This one does. Offered to the market chain free, there are two bedrooms, a large lounge and dining room, a south facing patio and a garage within a nearby block, just a stone’s throw from the bungalow.

The property is immaculate throughout and ready for its next owner to move straight into. The current owner purchased the bungalow in 2017 and it is clear that it has been loved, cared for and exceptionally well maintained ever since.

The bungalow forms part of the Springwood Estate at Mandelyns, a warden assisted development exclusively for residents aged 55 and over.

Once inside, the entrance hallway gives you a good sense of how well the accommodation is arranged, with a useful storage cupboard and each room within easy reach.

The principal bedroom is an impressive size. The bay window brings in plenty of natural light, while the built in wardrobes provide practical storage without taking away from the room itself. The second bedroom also has built in wardrobes and would make a comfortable guest room, study or hobby room.

The shower room has been recently refitted, with the original bath removed to create a more accessible and practical space.

The lounge and dining room is the heart of the bungalow. There is plenty of space for a comfortable seating area as well as a proper dining table, so it works just as well for a quiet evening as it does when friends or family visit. French doors open directly onto the private south facing patio, creating a lovely connection between the living space and the gardens outside.

The kitchen is accessed from the lounge and dining room and offers ample cupboard space, along with room for a fridge.

Outside, the private patio gives you your own place to sit and enjoy the sunshine, while the larger communal gardens are maintained for residents to enjoy without the responsibility of looking after them yourself. The property also comes with a garage within a nearby block, just a short walk from the bungalow.

Some of the important improvements have already been taken care of. A new boiler was installed approximately one year ago, while the windows and front door were replaced approximately two years ago.

This is a home that offers independence, manageable living and a real sense of community, all within easy reach of Northchurch and Berkhamsted.

The wider area is also well known for its exceptional choice of schools, including the renowned Berkhamsted School.

Homes within Mandelyns rarely become available. It combines the peace of a small development with the convenience of having everyday amenities close by. It feels private and peaceful, yet remains well connected to everything Northchurch and Berkhamsted have to offer.
