Architect-designed and recently renovated, this single-storey bungalow sits on about 0.86 acres at the southern edge of Broad Oak. An expansive open-plan kitchen/dining/living space with a roof lantern and underfloor heating creates a bright, sociable heart to the home, while large glazing and bi-fold doors frame southerly views over Blackmore Vale and Bulbarrow Hill.
The layout offers genuine level living: a generous master suite with dressing area and walk-in wardrobe sits apart from three double guest bedrooms and family bathroom, giving privacy and flexibility for family life or downsizing into one floor. Outside there is a large double garage with power and light and an attached garden studio currently arranged for entertaining, perfect as a home office, hobbies room or play space.
Gardens wrap around the bungalow and are mainly lawn with raised beds, wildlife areas and multiple seating spots to enjoy the panorama. The property occupies an elevated, private position on a no-through lane with ample parking and low local crime; the rural setting gives easy access to bridleways, the Dorset Trailway and the amenities of nearby Sturminster Newton.
Practical points: the house was built in the late 1960s/early 1970s and has been modernised to high specification, including double glazing and upgraded heating, but council tax is above average and broadband speeds in the area are very slow. The location suits buyers seeking spacious, single-storey living and strong countryside views rather than fast digital connectivity.
