Single-level living, large garden and garage — chain free, but solar lease requires attention.
Detached two-bedroom bungalow in quiet cul-de-sac
Quiet, detached bungalow in a sought-after cul-de-sac, offered with no forward chain. The layout is traditional and single-level, making this an easy-to-manage home for downsizers or those seeking a low-step property close to local amenities and well-regarded schools. A spacious sitting/dining room and a good-sized kitchen/breakfast room open onto a sizeable rear garden with patio and lawn — ideal for light gardening and outdoor relaxation.
Practical features include off-road parking, a single detached garage, double glazing and partial electric heating. Solar panels are installed and were placed on a 25-year lease in 2011, which reduces running costs but carries an important legal/finance implication: around 25 years remaining on that lease and some lenders may refuse mortgages against the property because of the lease term. Buyers should have legal and mortgage advice taken early.
The property is freehold and in a comfortable, very low-crime neighbourhood about 2.2 miles from Wimborne town centre. EPC is E and council tax band D. The bungalow is average-sized internally (about 670 sq ft) with standard ceiling heights; areas and services have not been independently tested and any purchaser should arrange a survey and checks on the solar lease and any associated obligations.
No forward chain means a quicker sale process is possible for a buyer who is comfortable addressing the solar lease and the E-rated EPC: suited to cash buyers, downsizers, or buyers who can secure specialist lending or plan modest investment in energy and heating improvements.
