This 1950s detached family home sits on an elevated plot within easy walking distance of Blandford Forum’s Georgian town centre. The house offers versatile accommodation over two floors including a principal bedroom with balcony, a dual-aspect sitting room and a separate study — well suited to family life and home working.
Living spaces are comfortable and characterful but the property requires modernization in places: mid‑century fittings and dated finishes remain in the living room and kitchen. The kitchen/dining room opens to a secluded terrace and landscaped rear garden, giving good indoor–outdoor flow for children and entertaining. A brick‑paved driveway and integral garage provide parking and storage.
Practical details favour everyday family use: gas central heating, mains services, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband in the area, no flood risk, and several well-rated primary and secondary schools nearby. Note there is a single family bathroom for three double bedrooms and the house would benefit from cosmetic updating and some renovation to maximise long‑term value.
Overall this is a comfortable, characterful detached home on a decent plot close to town amenities and outdoor routes. It will particularly suit buyers who value location and garden space and are prepared to invest in updating to personalise the house and increase its resale potential.
