Description

This detached residence is set on an expansive south-facing garden plot of approximately 0.66 acres, providing an excellent canvas for updates and personalisation. Located in a tranquil area at the end of a no-through lane, the property offers both privacy and scenic views over fields and countryside. Constructed between 1982 and 1984 with traditional brick elevations and a pitched tiled roof, the home boasts well-proportioned living spaces that remain largely unmodernised, presenting a significant opportunity for renovation. The primary reception areas and bedrooms are oriented to capture ample natural light while overlooking the lush garden. Externally, access to the house is via a shared pathway leading to a private driveway with abundant parking options and a double garage featuring power and lighting, along with an adjoining workshop. The rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn and framed by established hedges and mature trees, enhancing its appeal as an outdoor space for family gatherings or personal enjoyment. Situated within Iwerne Minster, celebrated as Dorset’s best-kept village in recent years, the property is close to local amenities including a general store/sub-post office and public house, plus the Clayesmore School sports centre available to locals. With Blandford and Shaftesbury both just around six miles away, this location benefits from being in a conservation area surrounded by designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Mainline train services to London can be accessed from nearby Salisbury or Gillingham. Services include mains water, electricity, drainage, and bottled LPG central heating, while broadband connectivity options are satisfactory though mobile coverage may vary.
