An appealing and extremely well maintained detached bungalow offering flexible accommodation with three good sized bedrooms, enjoying a tranquil lane side location in the desirable village of Kington Magna. The bungalow boasts some fantastic far reaching views over fields that lie within the conservation area to the wonderful Blackmore Vale countryside beyond. The village boasts a medieval pond near the Norman church which was restored in 1862 and hall with hosts a variety of activities. Gillingham is about three and half miles away where there is a range of shops and mainline train station serving London Waterloo and the West Country. We believe that the property was built in the 1970s and has been a very much loved and enjoyed home to our sellers for the last 21 years. During this time it has been exceptionally well cared for and was initially updated and improved with the installation of oil fired central heating, replacement porch and an en-suite was created for the main bedroom. More recently the kitchen units have been replaced. The property also benefits from uPVC double glazing with the front window having an attractive leaded lattice and beautifully landscaped gardens. A viewing is essential to truly appreciate this bright and roomy home, as well as the location and those splendid views.
