3 Bedroom Detached Bungalow, Juniper Close, Doddington, PE15

If you're thinking about downsizing but aren't quite ready to downsize the way you live, this beautifully presented three double bedroom detached bungalow could be exactly what you've been looking for.

Perhaps you're leaving behind a larger family home and would like to release some equity, reduce the amount of property you have to maintain and enjoy the convenience of single-storey living – but you still want space for Christmas around a proper dining table, family and grandchildren to stay, friends to come over and a garden that's big enough to enjoy and entertain in.

11 Juniper Close offers exactly that balance.

Built in 2020 and subsequently extended, the bungalow provides around 1,098 sq ft of beautifully presented accommodation, with the real heart of the home being its superb open-plan kitchen, dining and living space.

This is a room designed for living rather than simply looking good. The stylish kitchen has an extensive range of units and integrated appliances together with a central island, while the dining area has plenty of room for a substantial table and chairs – so downsizing certainly doesn't mean giving up hosting Christmas dinner or having the whole family around.

The living area flows naturally from the kitchen and dining space, with a feature roof lantern bringing in additional natural light and two sets of French doors opening onto the garden. In warmer weather, open the doors and the living space extends outside, making it a fantastic home for entertaining friends and family.

And there's no need to compromise on bedroom space either.

There are three genuine double bedrooms, giving you the flexibility to have comfortable guest rooms ready for visiting family or grandchildren, while still having the option of a home office, hobby room or additional sitting space. The principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes and its own en-suite shower room, while a separate family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.

The bungalow has also recently been completely redecorated, leaving it fresh, beautifully presented and ready for its next owners to simply move in and enjoy.

Outside, the generous corner plot provides something else that can sometimes be sacrificed when downsizing – a proper garden.

Established, private and thoughtfully landscaped, there's plenty of room to sit outside, entertain, potter in the garden or simply enjoy the surroundings without taking on the scale of grounds that might come with a much larger family home. There is a paved patio, lawn, colourful established planting, raised beds, a summerhouse and ornamental water feature.

Parking is equally well catered for, with a block-paved frontage providing additional parking alongside the driveway, together with an EV charging point and garage with remote-operated electric door.

Plantation shutters throughout, gas central heating, uPVC double glazing, mains drainage and the remainder of the original 10-year NHBC warranty complete what is an exceptionally comfortable and easy home to live in.

Located within an attractive development in the popular Cambridgeshire village of Doddington, everyday amenities are close at hand, including a village shop, primary school, pub and GP surgery, with March, Chatteris and the A141 all easily accessible.

For anyone considering selling a larger home and wondering whether downsizing inevitably means compromising on space, this property deserves a closer look.

Less house to look after doesn't have to mean less room to live.
