House For Sale £390,000
A rare chance to purchase a far reaching view over Dorset's rolling countryside and a delightful versatile three bedroom semi detached family home sitting in grounds of just under quarter of an acre and enjoying a rural but not isolated location. The property is situated in the pretty village of East Orchard, boasting views towards Duncliffe Wood and Alfred's Tower at Stourhead in the distance. We believe that the property dates to the 1950s and has been a much loved and enjoyed home to our seller for the last eight years. During this time it has been well maintained and offers interchangeable reception room usage, well balanced room sizes and a bright comfortable interior. There is scope to enhance, in due course and mark it to one's own taste as well as potential to extend to the side - subject to the necessary permission. This lovely home benefits from uPVC double glazing throughout, private sewage system and oil fired central heating. It is vital to view this home to really appreciate its potential and its fabulous location, which is midway between Sturminster Newton and Shaftesbury and two miles from Fontmell Magna, which has a village hall, church, primary school, doctors surgery, public house, which serves food and local store with cafe.
