Tucked at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac in Blandford Forum, this well-presented four-bedroom semi-detached home suits growing families who want space, convenience and easy access to local schools and shops. The house feels bright and practical: a long sitting/dining room leads to a newly constructed garden room that creates a calm, flexible family space overlooking the private garden.
The ground floor includes a modern fitted kitchen and three reception rooms that give scope for a home office, playroom or formal dining area. Upstairs are four double bedrooms and a neatly finished family bathroom; the principal bedroom benefits from built-in storage and soft neutral decor. The property sits on a decent plot with a circular patio, lawn, planted borders and a useful shed.
Practical factors to consider: the property uses oil-fired central heating, which can mean higher running costs compared with gas; there is a medium flood risk for the area; and there is a single family bathroom which may be limiting for larger households. The house dates from the late 1970s–early 1980s and has double glazing installed post-2002; timber-frame construction is assumed insulated but buyers should verify structural and service details.
Overall this home offers roomy family accommodation, generous parking and an attractive garden room in a comfortable, well-served neighbourhood. It will appeal to buyers seeking ready-to-live-in space with potential to update services or add a second bathroom in future.
