Set on an elevated plot with far-reaching village and countryside views, this three-bedroom detached bungalow offers peaceful, single-storey living with good scope to modernise and personalise. The property sits on a large plot with a sunny, south-facing rear garden backing onto the North Dorset Trailway, providing a private green outlook and outdoor space for gardening or leisure. Sold with no forward chain, it will suit downsizers or buyers seeking a renovation project in a quiet village setting.
Internally the layout is traditional and practical: a central hallway leads to an L-shaped sitting/dining room that takes full advantage of the front aspect views, a fitted kitchen with porch and rear garden access, three bedrooms (two doubles) and a single bathroom. The master and second bedrooms include built-in storage and the rooms are a good size for a bungalow of this era. Heating is by mains gas boiler to radiators and the property has double glazing (install date unknown).
Key benefits include the private southerly garden, garage in a nearby block and excellent broadband and mobile signal — useful for working from home. Material considerations are clear: the bungalow requires general modernisation throughout, cosmetic and likely some updating to services, and part of the garden has previously been leased from Dorset Council (title plan is available for clarification). The garage is not on-plot but in a block and parking is via a chippings driveway.
This is a straightforward opportunity for someone looking to downsize into single-storey living, create a bespoke home, or buy with rental potential after refurbishment. The village location provides rural calm yet remains within easy reach of Blandford Forum and transport links to Poole, Bournemouth and Salisbury.
