Set well back from the lane in the quiet hamlet of Stour Row, this detached 1960s bungalow sits on a sunny, south-facing third-of-an-acre plot surrounded by farmland. The single-storey layout is practical for downsizers or anyone seeking step-free living, with two double bedrooms, a dressing room and en-suite to the principal bedroom, plus a generous 17ft sitting room and conservatory opening onto mature lawns and a pond.
The house has been carefully maintained by the same family for decades and is presented in immaculate decorative order. Recent triple-glazed windows improve thermal performance and reduce sound; the accommodation has attractive wood-block and timber floors and a light, airy living room with stone fireplace. The plot is a major asset — private, well planted with established trees and hedging, and offers gated parking for several cars plus a single garage.
Buyers should note some practical considerations: heating is from an oil-fired boiler and drainage is private (septic), which add ongoing running and servicing responsibilities. The bungalow was built in the 1960s and has relatively low internal ceiling heights and an EPC rating of D. There is scope to extend or modernise (subject to planning) if a purchaser wants more contemporary space or higher ceilings.
In short, this is a cared-for, characterful bungalow on a generous rural plot that will suit anyone wanting one-level living with privacy and outdoor space. It’s particularly well placed for those wanting peaceful country life while still within reach of Shaftesbury and local schools.
