GENERAL COMMENTS

Manderville is a spacious detached bungalow in a very special setting. Occupying a large mature plot and enjoying breath taking far reaching rural views it is not surprising that it has been in the same ownership since construction fifty eight years ago. There is no doubt that Wagg Lane is one of the best locations within the sought after village of Probus, it is extremely quiet with no traffic noise whatsoever and is within a short walk of the excellent village facilities, church and bus stop. The bungalow has been well maintained over the years but is now in need of modernisation and there is huge potential to enlarge and re-model. This has happened to both neighbouring properties at St Creda and Trenance. The accommodation comprises: Two double bedrooms, kitchen/dining room with Aga, sitting room, dining room/third bedroom, bathroom, spacious hallway and side porch. A balcony runs along the full length of the front providing plenty of sitting out space in which to enjoy the views. The gardens are mature and include gently sloping lawns at the front with mature shrubs and plants and a tarmac driveway provides turning space and plenty of parking. There is a single garage on the lower ground floor with light and power and electric roller door. At the rear is a further enclosed garden including a wooden summerhouse.
