Set on the edge of Sturminster Newton, this three-bedroom bungalow occupies a generous plot with southerly outlooks over water meadows and the River Stour. The principal rooms and rear conservatory take full advantage of the countryside views, and a gravel drive provides off-street parking for two cars. Being chain free, the property is ready for a quick move or onward planning.
Built in the mid-20th century, the interior is traditionally laid out with a sitting room, separate dining space, kitchen, three bedrooms and one bathroom. The home shows mid-century features and some dated decor; there is clear scope to update fixtures, fittings and finishes to modern standards. Cavity walls are as-built with no confirmed insulation and double glazing installation dates are unknown — buyers should allow for potential improvement works and energy-efficiency upgrades.
Outside is a notable strength: a terraced area directly off the house leads down to a gently sloping, mature garden that borders meadowland. The site feels private and quiet, effectively at the end of a cul-de-sac while still within easy walking distance of the town centre and local amenities. Broadband speeds are described as slow and mobile coverage limited inside the property, which may affect home-working plans.
Practical details: mains gas central heating, mains water, electricity and drainage are connected. Council Tax band is above average for the area. There is no identified flooding risk. The bungalow will suit buyers seeking single-storey living with notable outside space — particularly retirees or downsizers who value tranquillity and direct countryside access — or purchasers looking to modernise a roomy property with good long-term potential.
