Foriers is a spacious three-bedroom semi-detached bungalow set on a substantial plot at the edge of Sturminster Newton, offered chain-free. Principal rooms face south across water meadows and the River Stour, delivering peaceful countryside outlooks and plenty of natural light. The single-storey layout, conservatory access to the garden and off-street parking for two cars make this a comfortable, low-step home for those wanting to downsize without losing outdoor space.
The property requires modernisation throughout: cosmetic updating, potential insulation improvements and internal reconfiguration are likely to increase value. The house dates from the mid-20th century (c.1967–75) and walls are cavity with no confirmed insulation; double glazing is fitted but install date is unknown. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators; there is one bathroom serving three bedrooms.
Practicalities are favourable for a rural-edge home: no flood risk, freehold tenure and quiet cul-de-sac location with easy access to town amenities including shops, healthcare, schools and an active arts centre. Broadband speeds are reported slow and mobile signal limited inside; buyers who need fast connectivity should investigate alternatives. Council Tax is band E (above average).
