Description

This distinctive detached bungalow presents an exceptional opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with considerable renovation or redevelopment potential, subject to planning permissions. Set on a generous plot, this home enjoys captivating views of the surrounding countryside, making it an appealing canvas for customization. The interior features a well-lit sitting room that benefits from a wood-burning stove, adding warmth and character. The spacious kitchen and breakfast area comes with a Rayburn and newly fitted units, providing a functional space ready for modern updates. There is also a separate dining room, three bedrooms, and a family bathroom, all offering ample space for reimagining layouts or improvements. Externally, the property includes a detached outbuilding that adds versatility to the site, whether for storage or potential conversion. The expansive gardens and orchard span approximately one-third of an acre, further enhancing the outdoor living experience and presenting opportunities for landscaping or additional structures. Accessed via a shared driveway leading to a private parking area secured by a five-bar gate, this home offers both privacy and convenience. Given its non-standard construction, the property is best suited for cash buyers due to limited lending options. Located just a short drive from Blandford Forum—a charming Georgian market town—residents will enjoy access to various amenities such as shops, restaurants, and recreational facilities. The nearby North Dorset Trailway provides excellent walking and cycling routes through picturesque landscapes, while good road links ensure easy travel to larger towns like Poole and Dorchester. In summary, this bungalow not only offers comfortable living space but also significant potential for those willing to invest time and resources into transforming it into their ideal home. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate both the property's unique features and its remarkable surroundings.
