- Non‑standard SECO construction; some original single‑skin walls

Set in the peaceful Marshwood Vale just a mile from the coast, this detached 1960s bungalow sits on a large, well‑planted plot with a timber/block workshop and detached garage. The house offers four bedrooms (two ground floor, two in the attic/loft), a sitting room with fireplace, kitchen/diner and a single bathroom, making it suitable for downsizers or buyers seeking a countryside renovation project.
The property is non‑standard SECO construction; parts of the original building have asbestos cement panels behind plasterboard (assessed as very low risk Chrysotile). The home is double glazed with LPG boiler and radiators, mains water/electric and septic tank drainage. EPC rating is F; roof, external joinery and some finishes are dated and will need renewal or updating.
Outside is the main attraction: generous west‑facing gardens, greenhouse, vegetable patch and mature screening that give privacy and afternoon sun. The workshop is fitted with light and power and the timber garage provides parking; vehicular access is shared and lies adjacent to the property.
This bungalow suits buyers looking for a quiet rural setting and scope to modernise or modestly extend (subject to consents). Practical drawbacks are the non‑standard construction, presence of asbestos panels in unrefurbished areas, single bathroom and reliance on bottled LPG for heating — all factors to consider when budgeting refurbishment or mortgage advice.
