General Information

 

These bungalows to be constructed in echelon form­ation occupy a choice site adjoining the Grand Union Canal, close to the linear park, and enjoy uninterrupted views over the surrounding countryside.

 

 

The layout of these bungalows is such that the interlocking design and the enclosed rear gardens offer complete privacy, whilst affording views across the garden to the Canal.

 

 

 

The unusually spacious living area affords flexibility of the internal layout of the lounge and dining area, and overlooks both the inner front courtyard and the garden at the rear, with french doors providing access into the garden

 

The well equipped kitchen which adjoins the dining area incorporates stainless steel sink units and exten­sive high and low level storage units with work tops. The kitchen overlooks the entrance courtyard and has access by a french door into the inner courtyard.

 

Wardrobes are fitted to the two main bedrooms in both the 4 bedroom and 3 bedroom bungalows, and the larger bungalow also has a children's playroom.

 

The bathroom which adjoins the main bedrooms, is fitted with white suite panel bath, pedestal wash hand basin and low level w.c.

 

The gas fired central heating boiler provides domestic hot water and heats radiators to all rooms.

 

These bungalows, which occupy a very attractive canal side site, south of the village of Woughton-on-­the-Green, offer spacious living accommodation, de­signed to provide maximum flexibility of the internal layout to suit the many needs of modern family life.
