Description

Nestled along Burton Street in the desirable village of Marnhull, this spacious three-bedroom detached bungalow offers a generous plot with established gardens at both the front and rear, ample off-road parking, and a detached garage. With approximately 1,554 sq ft of accommodation, the property features a versatile arrangement of rooms, including two reception areas, a well-sized kitchen/dining room, and three double bedrooms, one with an en suite. The property is set back from the road, providing a sense of privacy and space. While the interior has been well maintained, it presents an excellent opportunity for buyers to add their personal touch through updates. The single-storey layout and substantial room proportions make it appealing for families or those looking to downsize without sacrificing space. The central hallway leads to the main living areas, featuring a large reception room with a bay window and fireplace, and a second reception that could serve as a snug or study. The kitchen/dining room is equipped with wall and base units, along with a range-style cooker. Additional utility space and a cloakroom enhance functionality. The generous gardens extend to approximately a quarter of an acre, featuring mature trees and shrubs in the front garden and a predominantly lawned rear garden with established borders. A decked area offers potential for outdoor entertaining, although it may require some attention. A substantial driveway accommodates six to seven vehicles and leads to the detached garage, providing secure parking and extra storage space. This property represents a unique opportunity to create a personalized home in one of North Dorset's most sought-after locations.

This spacious three-bedroom detached bungalow in the desirable village of Marnhull presents a solid opportunity for buyers looking to create their ideal home. With a generous plot and established gardens, the property offers ample room both inside and out, making it suitable for families or those looking to downsize without sacrificing space. The layout includes two reception rooms and a good-sized kitchen/dining area, all of which are well-maintained overall but would benefit from some updates to bring them in line with modern tastes.

At a guide price of £500,000, the property is competitively priced at £304/sq ft, which is slightly below the local average.

Overall, this listing offers a blend of good fundamentals and location, with the potential for value creation through thoughtful updates.
