3 Bedroom Detached Bungalow, California, Woodbridge, IP12

Discreetly positioned on one of Woodbridge’s most desirable roads, this distinguished detached bungalow offers an exceptional opportunity to acquire a residence of rare scale and elegance. Extending to approximately 2,705 sq ft, the property stands within private, beautifully landscaped grounds with southwest-facing rear gardens, blending refined living with substantial practicality. The home benefits from a discreet yet pleasing frontage, setting the tone for the thoughtful design and space within.

A striking glass and timber entrance porch opens into a broad and welcoming entrance hall, flooded with light and finished with glass-panelled doors that lead through to the impressive sitting room beyond. Just off the entrance hall lies a convenient cloakroom, along with a separate adjacent area complete with a shelf and hanging space for guest and family outerwear—ideal for everyday use. This principal reception space is south-east facing and exceptionally well-lit, enhanced by expansive sliding patio doors and fixed glass panes that bathe the room in natural light throughout the day. A marble fireplace hearth adds a further layer of sophistication and warmth, anchoring the space with an elegant focal point—ideal for both formal entertaining and relaxed family living.

To the front, a generous study with bespoke fitted cabinetry provides a quiet retreat for work or reading. The large kitchen is the heart of the home, offering extensive workspace and a natural flow through to the dining room and adjoining conservatory—each room connecting seamlessly to the gardens. The dining room is finished with beautiful parquet flooring, adding character and warmth to this formal entertaining space. The kitchen is supported by a sizeable utility room with sliding doors to additional storage, and external access to the side garden, enhancing everyday practicality.

The bedroom wing lies to the east, thoughtfully separated for privacy and tranquillity. Three large double bedrooms are served by a stylish main bathroom, with the very substantial principal bedroom suite enjoying bespoke fitted wardrobes and a luxurious four-piece en-suite bathroom, offering a bath, walk-in shower, WC and wash hand basin. The two additional double bedrooms also benefit from fitted wardrobes, providing excellent built-in storage solutions. A substantial airing cupboard and integrated access into the double garage further add to the convenience and considered layout of the home.

The double garage, with an electric up-and-over door, natural light from side windows, and a water softener, offers clear potential for conversion to a further bedroom or reception room, subject to planning. Should conversion be desired, an additional triangular parcel of land sits just beyond the brick boundary wall at the front left of the property. This piece is included within the title and offers scope for extended landscaping, further enhancement of the frontage, or even the creation of a standalone garage—subject to individual requirements and consent.

Externally, the home is equally impressive. A large private driveway allows for ample parking, with further space available should the drive be extended. Manicured front and rear gardens are thoughtfully landscaped with mature shrubs, specimen planting, and a rear patio perfect for al fresco dining. A charming pond and the home’s non-overlooked rear position complete the sense of peace and seclusion. A substantial hidden vegetable plot, currently fallowing, adds further interest and potential to the grounds.

Solar panels on the roof provide an energy-efficient touch, aligning modern sustainability with timeless quality.

This is a property of considerable presence and both internal and external (garage) expansion potential, ideal for discerning buyers seeking a rare and spacious single-storey home in a prime Woodbridge setting.
