Set on a large plot in tranquil Melbury Abbas, this four-bedroom detached bungalow offers single-storey living with genuine countryside character and flexible accommodation. The principal sitting/dining room opens to the rear garden and features a wood burner; the principal bedroom has an en-suite and direct garden access. Several rooms can double as family spaces, home office or guest accommodation.
Outside there’s a substantial private garden with fruit trees, gravel parking for at least two cars and distant views towards Compton Abbas and Zig-Zag Hill. Practical features include double glazing (installed before 2002), off-street parking and no onward chain for a quicker move.
Buyers should note the property’s mid‑20th century construction and practical running costs: heating is provided by an oil boiler, drainage is to a septic tank and the Energy Rating is D. The house would benefit from cosmetic updating and some landscaping to realise its full potential. The immediate neighbourhood is an ageing rural area with above-average crime and local deprivation indicators, so purchasers may want to factor local services and security into their plans.
This bungalow will suit buyers looking for a roomy, single-storey family home or those seeking a country property to modernise and personalise. With good broadband, nearby schools and Shaftesbury within easy reach, it offers rural peace with practical links to local towns.
