Blandford Forum, Dorset

Woodside is a delightful, detached bungalow tucked away at the end of a smart shared driveway in Percy Gardens, just off St. Leonards Avenue, one of Blandford Forum's premier roads. The location feels private and yet the centre of Blandford is just a short walk away. Woodside sits in the middle of attractive gardens and the refurbishments our owners have made to the property are very impressive, they really have created a warm and contemporary home.

From the second you walk into this immaculate, light and inviting property the quality and finish are evident. The HALLWAY with its new front door has integrated storage cupboards and leads to all the other rooms. All the principal rooms are on one side of the property starting with the stunning KITCHEN/BREAKFAST ROOM, a beautifully designed space with a high-specification finish including quartz work surfaces throughout. Forming the heart of this home, the kitchen is a cooks and an entertainers dream. The main part of the kitchen has an absolute abundance of storage including a range of base, wall and drawer units, matching pull-out larders and wide pan drawers. It also features two integrated electric fan-assisted ovens, a dishwasher, a 4-ring induction hob with cooker hood above, and a Bosch™ microwave. The 1 ½ bowl sink has a separate hot water tap, ideal for speedy cups of tea! The quality and finish continue through to the BUTLERS KITCHEN/UTILITY ROOM, such a brilliant area that can be used for laundry, food preparation and storage, all out of the sight of any guests. This area contains an integrated washing machine, a full-height fridge and a full-height freezer, plus additional space for further white goods such as a tumble dryer. There is also an additional sink with mixer tap. The garage can be accessed via an internal door from this room and there is also a door out to the garden. A large breakfast bar cleverly delineates the kitchen from the rest of the living space. This is a super sociable area with plenty of seating and a great place to have breakfast or drinks, with its built-in wine fridge, or informal meals. With bespoke pendant lighting above, cupboards and drawer storage all around, it’s also very practical.

The DINING AREA is adjacent to the kitchen and ideal for more formal entertaining. The SITTING ROOM is a lovely space to relax and can easily accommodate a couple of sizable sofas and additional armchair, whilst still offering a sense of cosy comfort, enhanced by a living flame coal-effect fireplace. The double-glazed CONSERVATORY flows off the dining room and provides further seating to enjoy the garden.

Engineered oak flooring runs throughout the main living rooms and the hallway, and back off the hallway is a smart contemporary BATHROOM SUITE/CLOAKROOM with tiled flooring, a W.C, vanity wash hand basin and Quadrant shower cubicle.

The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is a double room situated to the rear of the property overlooking the garden and has newly fitted carpets and two integrated wardrobes. BEDROOM 2 is another double and also includes two further integrated wardrobes. BEDROOM 3, the final double bedroom, incorporates an integrated wardrobe and is currently used as a home office. All the bedrooms have a luxurious and cosy feel and are away from the main living areas, ensuring peace and restfulness. There is a very convenient WET ROOM next to the main two bedrooms, which is fully tiled and consists of a W.C., vanity wash hand basin and Mira wall mounted shower.

Outside
The property is accessed via a smart drive shared with one other dwelling, before turning into the private brick paved driveway where the privacy of the location becomes evident. The driveway can accommodate multiple vehicles, and offers access to the INTEGRAL DOUBLE GARAGE, which has two windows for natural light plus electric lighting, power, and two up-and-over doors (one being electrically operated). The bungalow is positioned centrally in the plot and the manageable GARDENS wrap around it. They are full of interest and begin with the side garden with its secluded lawn abounded by mature shrubs, trees and flowerbeds. From here you can walk round to the rear garden which has a delightful patio area to sit and soak up the sun, a lawn area abutted by beautiful mature trees ensuring privacy, and an abundance of shrubs and flower beds. It even has a dedicated vegetable patch with delightful arched trellis over, a greenhouse, raised planter, and fruit trees, offering something for the keen gardener thought out the year.
