Description

This spacious three/four bedroom detached bungalow, constructed from mellow brick and topped with a tiled roof, presents a unique opportunity for renovation in a sought-after semi-rural area on the outskirts of Shaftesbury. Set on approximately ¾ of an acre, the elevated position affords tranquil views over lush greenery. Having been cherished by its current owners for three decades, this property is now ready for new investment and revitalisation. The living space includes three generous double bedrooms, versatile areas such as a study that could serve as a fourth bedroom, and expansive rooms including a 20ft sitting room complete with an open fireplace. The kitchen breakfast room offers ample potential to modernise while retaining its character. A recently added conservatory and orangery provide inviting prospects for dining or craft spaces overlooking the gardens. Although well-maintained, cosmetic updates throughout will greatly enhance the property's appeal while leaving options open for future extensions in line with planning regulations. The exterior features extensive gardens rich with mature trees and shrubs, perfect for garden enthusiasts or those looking to create outdoor living spaces. Ample off-road parking leads to a detached garage and workshop area, further enhancing functionality. This bungalow invites promising renovation opportunities that can transform it into a personal sanctuary or attractive investment.
