This detached two-bedroom bungalow offers single-floor living in a quiet cul-de-sac close to Dorset countryside. The sitting/dining room benefits from a large bow window that fills the space with light, and both bedrooms overlook the rear garden for a calm, private aspect. Driveway parking for up to three cars and a single garage add practical convenience for cars or storage.
The property is presented in dated but liveable condition and suits buyers who want an easy-to-manage home they can personalise. There is clear scope for modernisation — updating the kitchen, bathroom and finishes will noticeably increase comfort and value. Energy efficiency is middling (EPC D) and heating is by electric storage heaters, which prospective buyers should factor into running costs.
Notable maintenance issues include visible damp and mould in the sitting room area and a general need for renovation throughout. Broadband speeds are slow in this location, although mobile signal is excellent. The bungalow is offered freehold with no onward chain, making it a straightforward purchase for downsizers, first-time buyers seeking a single-storey home, or investors after a modest refurbishment.
