Description

This detached two-bedroom bungalow presents a valuable opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with significant renovation potential. Nestled on a generous plot at the edge of Wool, it features off-road parking and a garage, enhancing its appeal for future enhancements. The layout currently consists of an entrance hall, a reception room, a kitchen/breakfast area, a sunroom, two bedrooms, and a bathroom. While the interior would benefit from modern updates, there is ample scope for expansion should you wish to explore extending the home (subject to planning permission). The surrounding front and rear gardens offer space for landscaping or outdoor projects. Wool is well-equipped with essential amenities, including a doctors’ surgery, pharmacy, library, primary school, and several public houses. Its mainline railway station provides direct access to London Waterloo, making it convenient for commuters. For broader shopping and leisure options, Wareham is approximately 6 miles away and Dorchester, the county town, is around 12 miles distant. The property’s location also allows for easy access to scenic footpaths and the renowned Jurassic Coast nearby—a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its natural beauty. This combination of local amenities and proximity to stunning landscapes makes this bungalow not only an ideal home but also an attractive investment opportunity in a desirable area. All mains services are connected to the property with heating provided via a gas-fired boiler. The local authority is Dorset Council, with the property falling under Council Tax Band C. Please note that the property is positioned near a railway line and within proximity to a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Superfast broadband options are available to support modern connectivity needs.
