Introducing 'Lismore', a truly one-of-a-kind bungalow nestled on Foxcover Lane in Middle Herrington, sat on a remarkable 0.31-acre plot. This stunning three-bedroom cottage is an epitome of bespoke craftsmanship, carefully and lovingly enhanced to become an exceptional forever home.

As you enter this magnificent property, the first thing that captures your attention is the impeccable quality of workmanship. The elegant wood flooring in the hallway sets the tone, leading you through a wide corridor that grants access to the bedrooms and the inviting living spaces at the rear.

The living accommodation is nothing short of extraordinary. The main lounge, illuminated by natural light, features a charming log burner with a striking wooden beam, creating a cozy and welcoming focal point. Adjacent to the lounge is the dining room, offering delightful garden views and a unique viewing window into the garden room. The dining room seamlessly connects to the modern kitchen through double doors. This perfectly sized kitchen is equipped with ample cabinetry, white units, wood-effect worktops, and integrated appliances including an electric hob.

The spectacular garden room, accessible from the lounge through double doors, is a sanctuary of light and tranquillity. With windows on all sides and additional roof windows, it's the perfect place to relax and enjoy the view of the magnificent gardens. The utility room, situated off the dining room, leads to the enormous L-shaped double garage, providing ample storage or potential for further expansion.

The bedroom layout is thoughtfully designed. Two bedrooms overlook the front garden, including a large double bedroom with fitted storage and a second double bedroom currently used as an office. The master bedroom, located in the centre of the corridor, is a spacious haven with extensive fitted storage and a luxurious en-suite featuring a corner mixer shower cubicle.

The family bathroom, positioned to the right of the corridor, is equipped with both a bath and a large shower cubicle, complemented by a toilet, washbasin, and fitted storage units.

The garden truly sets this property apart. Extensive and beautifully landscaped, it provides a vast space for family gatherings, barbecues, and outdoor activities. Thoughtfully zoned into different areas, it includes wood storage, a shed, an allotment area with a greenhouse, raised walled areas, lawned spaces, and creatively used gravel to create a natural and usable outdoor setting.

'Lismore' is a testament to the dedication and care of its current owners. Now, it's time for a new owner to cherish this extraordinary home. If you think that might be you, contact us at Martin & Co to answer your questions and arrange a viewing. This could be your chance to own a truly unique and exceptional property.

Flood Risk
Surface Water
Very low
Unlike flooding from rivers, surface water flooding can happen many miles from a river, often in places that people wouldn’t expect because it’s a long way from a river or stream – it happens simply because there is nowhere else for the rainwater to go. Risk ratings are measured as:
High Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 30 (3.3%) in any one year.
Medium Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 100 (1.0%) in any one year.
Low Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 1000 (0.1%) in any one year.
Very Low Risk - an area in which the risk is below 1 in 1000 (0.1%) in any one year.

Council Tax pays for multiple services in the property's local authority with only part of it going to the council itself. Residences within a Parish or Town Council area have an additional charge to fund the body. Each parish/town council has a different budget and imposes different fees. Not all councils have parishes/town councils and this varies across the country.

In instances where parish/town councils do affect the council tax value and we do not have the exact figure, we present council tax data with the below highlights. Take care to confirm which is being presented by the dashboard as this will need to be made clear to your clients:

avg - When we indicate the Council Tax price is 'avg', it means we have not been able to obtain an exact figure, so this number represents the mean value of Council Tax across the council for that property band. The exact figure will be slightly higher or lower because each parish/town council is priced differently.

min - When we indicate the Council Tax is a 'min', it represents the known amount that the council sets for itself, but excludes the parish/town council cost which we have not been able to obtain. The additional cost will need to be considered as it will be greater than the indicated price.
