The kiosks, which have been voted among the country’s top ten design icons, were once a familiar sight everywhere you went. They are rarely seen these days, but keeping the romance alive is this three-bedroom, detached property on Orchard Road.
The telephone box is a lovely addition to the frontage of the bungalow, for which offers of more than £375,000 are invited by Mansfield estate agents, BuckleyBrown.
Mind you, it is only one of several features that give the home what BuckleyBrown describe as “the wow factor”. A spokesperson says: “This incredible bungalow stands proud and has been presented to an amazing standard, inside and out. The home, which is beautifully decorated, is a credit to its current owners and will certainly impress as soon as you step inside.” So, what are we waiting for? Let’s step inside – via our photo gallery below.
One of the first rooms to catch the eye is the bright and spacious lounge, complete with a set of French doors leading outside. The kitchen is just as impressive, while the conservatory is a brilliant size, overlooking the garden. Three good-sized bedrooms add to the modern feel of the bungalow, and there is also a sleek shower room.
Outside, the front offers a lengthy driveway providing off-street parking space, while a well-established, private garden to the rear has been superbly landscaped, with lawn, decorative paved area, shed and fence and hedge surround.
