House For Sale £375,000
Sitting in about a quarter of an acre plot, is this delightful semi detached traditional home with three good sized bedrooms and boasting some fabulous far reaching views over the beautiful Blackmore Vale countryside from the rear. The property enjoys a quiet location at the top of a small cul de sac of other similar properties in the small village of Lydlinch, which lies 3 miles in between Sturminster Newton and Stalbridge, both of, which provide a range of facilities. The property dates to 1948 - held within the same family since this date and now being presented for sale for the first time. During the course of the property's lifetime it has evolved into a roomy family home that has recently been improved with new economy 7 electric heaters, replacement bathroom suite and new hot water cylinder. The property also benefits from double glazing, cavity wall insulation, solar thermal panel for heating the water and solar panels that were installed under the Smart Export Guarantee scheme and provide an income from the excess power created. There is also historic planning permission for a two storey extension. This property must be viewed to really appreciate what it has to offer and how it will satisfy many potential buyers needs and especially for those looking for good outside as well.
