Set well back in a peaceful Dorset village, this spacious detached bungalow dates from the 1960s and has been enlarged and modernised by the current owners. The principal residence offers generous, light-filled living spaces with floor-to-ceiling windows, a multi-fuel stove and a kitchen/breakfast room with quality appliances. A self-contained annexe (with its own entrance, kitchen and bathroom) adds versatility for multigenerational living, long-term letting or holiday rental income.
The plot is a strong asset: large, well-stocked gardens face west with long-range views across the Marshwood Vale and the property backs onto an orchard. Outdoor features include paved patios, a wildlife pond with decking, gazebo, raised fishpond and a long driveway leading to a very large tandem garage/workshop — useful for storage, hobbies or business use.
Practical features include PV panels (income-producing), a water softener, double glazing, and an EPC rating of B. Services note a septic tank for drainage and oil-fired central heating is reported, while broadband and mobile reception are average for the area — suitable for many but worth confirming if high-speed connectivity is essential. The property is offered freehold and chain free.
Important considerations: the house was originally built c.1960 and, while extended and modernised, some buyers may want to review mechanical systems or undertake cosmetic updating to suit personal tastes. Buyers should also allow for maintenance of the large garden and workshop/garage spaces.
