South Lodge, Fareham

This spacious bungalow sits on a good size plot so if it's space and a big garden you are after look no further. The location itself is quiet and uncongested - all properties have ample off road parking so you'll rarely need to dodge around parked cars here.

The front door of the bungalow opens into a big welcoming hallway with plenty of room to kick off your shoes or to greet guests. The living room is dual aspect providing much light to the space. From here you can access the dining room - another dual aspect room with doors out onto the patio area. This room is a flexible space as it could double up as a further bedroom, office or play/gaming area. You can gain direct access into the kitchen from this room too (although there is a door from the hallway too). The kitchen is clean and tidy and the landlord is providing an oven and hob as well as a built in dish washer.

The master bedroom sits to the back of the house and has a large deep window which allows a lot of light into the room and looks out onto the patio area. Included here is an en-suite shower room for convenience. The second bedroom is a great size and has fitted wardrobes.

The property also benefits from a family bathroom and a boarded loft area (for storage) with a ladder for access.

The landlord is looking for someone to move in as soon as possible and on a long term basis. They will consider a pet but please be aware that there is some planned work to the fencing in the garden that will necessitate a portion of the fencing being down at some point during the tenancy.
