Set on nearly three quarters of an acre on the outskirts of Motcombe, this detached chalet-style bungalow provides flexible five-bedroom accommodation across two levels. The house has been recently modernised, offering bright living spaces and a modernised interior while retaining clear potential for further improvement or personalisation.
Practical features include ample off-road parking for several vehicles, a garage, and a large, well-established rear garden with trees and hedging — ideal for family life, home working or those wanting outdoor space. Local schools rated Good and attractive rural amenities such as streams and woodland are within easy reach, supporting village living in an affluent, low-crime area.
Buyers should note a few material points: heating is oil-fired via a boiler and radiators, the EPC is D, and glazing was installed before 2002. Broadband speeds are very slow for the area, and the walls are system-built with no assumed insulation, so there is scope and likely cost for energy-efficiency upgrades.
