Seller Insight “We fell in love with the privacy and seclusion of the bungalow when we bought the house 28 years ago,” says May Mason. “Back then it was a small three bedroom bungalow, which we converted into a dormer bungalow, significantly extending the size of the house. We also rebuilt the kitchen and dining room, and made the bathroom a lot larger as well.” “We have friendly neighbours and we all get along well. Directly behind the house is a playing field, and we have the tennis and golf clubs very nearby. It’s a five minute walk into the village of Tettenhall, which has a full range of high-end shops. There is a supermarket, butchers, post office, fishmongers, and male and female outfitters. If you would prefer to drive, there is plenty of room for car parking at the house, with an electric double garage,” May continues. “I think the property would suit a family best, as there are four large bedrooms and a good sized garden. It is only one mile to Tettenhall Green infant school, and around the same distance to Kings School, so it’s definitely walkable for children. It’s a great area for families, with lots going on in Tettenhall Green, like the summer paddling pool and play area which is always popular in summer, and the various fairs, including a steam rally,” concludes May. “The lounge has patio doors that back out onto the garden, and the kitchen is the same. It’s large enough to gather in and enjoy the informal dining area. The garden is very private. It’s mature, with beautiful bluebells and snowdrops, and very well-maintained, with a mix of lawns and trees.” “The house is large enough for the whole family to congregate in, so we have had lots of memorable Christmases here. I have moved out to live with my family. I will miss everything about the house, especially the seclusion. It’s very safe and secure, tucked away from the road but still close to town.”

Both bedrooms downstairs are a fantastic size and two under-stairs cupboards are a useful space for storage and one of them houses the boiler. FIRST FLOOR ACCOMMODATION • Landing • Bedroom 3 • Bedroom 4 A landing area serves both the third bedroom and fourth bedrooms. The third dormer double bedroom is spacious and light, benefitting from numerous windows allowing plenty of light into the property. The fourth bedroom is a good size with plenty of character.
OUTSIDE Danescourt is approached via a delightful narrow private sweeping driveway, which leads to the property. The driveway serves multiple vehicles, alongside an electric double garage and double wooden gated area to the side, which could house a caravan or small boat. The back garden is a gardeners paradise, having been landscaped and beautifully looked after by the current owner. There is a patio area with steps down to a large flat lawned area. There is also a 20ft x 8 ft green house and lots of mature borders and shrubbery. There is a lean to conservatory to the side of the double garage, which has formally been used as another green house. The garden is extremely private and a wonderful space to relax and enjoy.
