Description

This link-detached bungalow, constructed approximately 50 to 60 years ago, presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment in a well-established residential area. Set on an unusually wide plot, the property offers significant potential for extension or expansion, subject to obtaining necessary planning permissions. Its location near the West Moors Forestry Plantation allows residents to enjoy extensive walking trails and outdoor activities right at their doorstep. The interior features include two spacious double bedrooms and a generous lounge/dining room that boasts a large window overlooking the front garden. The kitchen/breakfast room is well-equipped with modern units and essential appliances, making it functional for everyday use while offering room for personal updates. Other practical features include gas-fired warm air central heating and UPVC double glazing throughout, as well as cavity wall insulation. The property comes with an attached garage that provides additional storage or parking options, enhancing its overall appeal. Outside, the gardens are arranged to take full advantage of the sunny south-facing aspect, creating a pleasant outdoor space for relaxation or gardening endeavors. The front garden features a shaped lawn and shrub beds along with a pavior driveway that offers ample off-road parking. The rear garden measures around 48 feet by 46 feet, complemented by a side garden which provides even more space for development. Local amenities are within easy reach; both first and middle schools are just a short walk away, and the town center with shops and services is conveniently located within one mile. West Moors also benefits from good road connections to neighboring areas such as Ferndown, Wimborne, Bournemouth, and Poole. With its solid structure, desirable location close to nature reserves, and scope for enhancement or modification, this bungalow stands out as an excellent investment opportunity for those looking to create a personalized living space in a sought-after community.
