Description

This spacious bungalow presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment, positioned in the picturesque village of Spetisbury. The property features a sunny and private rear garden, along with convenient parking and access to a garage located within a block. Upon entry, you are welcomed by a generous hallway that leads to the main living areas of the home. The L-shaped sitting-dining room is particularly notable for its large front-facing windows, which offer beautiful elevated views of the village and surrounding countryside. This light-filled space connects seamlessly to the kitchen, which is equipped with a variety of wall and base units, featuring essential appliances such as a stainless steel sink, fridge/freezer, slimline dishwasher, and gas hob. An adjoining porch area provides additional utility space with plumbing for a washing machine and direct access to the rear garden. The sleeping quarters include three bedrooms, with the master bedroom being notably spacious and complete with a built-in wardrobe. The second bedroom also accommodates double bed arrangements with ample built-in storage, while the third offers a comfortable single room option. The bathroom features classic fixtures, including a bath with an overhead shower, WC, and basin—providing scope for enhancements to match modern preferences. Outside, the property is approached via a stone chipping driveway leading up to the front door. The front garden is laid to lawn and enclosed by brick walls and fencing. The rear garden stands out as a key feature of this property: it enjoys a southerly aspect that benefits from natural sunlight throughout most of the day while providing good privacy as it backs onto the North Dorset Trailway. This predominantly lawned area includes several established fruit trees and offers potential for landscaping or other outdoor enhancements. Located along the banks of the River Stour, Spetisbury is just 3 miles from Blandford Forum—a historic market town known for its selection of shops, local markets, healthcare facilities, schools at various levels, recreational options including golf courses nearby, and cultural attractions. Accessibility is another advantage; major towns such as Poole and Wimborne are within easy reach while communication routes like the A31 provide connections to London via the M3/M27 corridor. Regular train services are available from nearby Salisbury or Poole stations. Overall this bungalow not only presents immediate appeal but also significant potential for modernization efforts that could enhance both its comfort and value in this desirable location.
