Description

This generously proportioned bungalow, originally constructed in the 1970s, presents a significant opportunity for renovation and personalization. Nestled within approximately 0.86 acres of secluded gardens, the property features a split-level design characterized by red and white brick elevations beneath a tiled roof. Recent updates include a re-felted roof and new soffits, fascias, and gutters, yet there remains ample potential for modernizing the interior to better suit contemporary needs. With spacious accommodation options, including a potential self-contained one-bedroom annexe (subject to necessary permissions), this home can cater to various living arrangements or investment opportunities. Upon entry, you are welcomed into a hallway that leads to a spacious sitting/dining area complete with marble fireplace and log burner, enhanced by dual patio doors providing access to the garden. The kitchen/breakfast room is functional with existing units, double oven, hob, and plenty of storage space in the larder. The lower floor includes practical amenities such as a utility room equipped with plumbing and oil-fired boiler access while also providing additional rooms suitable for offices or play areas. The main floor accommodates four bedrooms along with an en suite bathroom for the master bedroom as well as a family shower room. The prospective annexe comprises its own lounge area with log burner and patio access to the outdoors. The outside environment is equally appealing; mature trees enhance privacy while offering an expansive lawn space ideal for outdoor activities or further development potential. A separate detached garage/store complements the property's extensive parking facilities. Strategically located near the picturesque hamlet within Cranborne Chase—a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty—this property provides easy access to nearby amenities including restaurants, schools, and transport connections for those commuting to larger cities. As such, it represents an exciting project for buyers looking to invest in a substantial property in need of updating.
