House For Sale £700,000
A fabulous detached chalet style bungalow offering in excess of 2000 square feet (193 sq.m) of living space with four double sized bedrooms, set in about a third of an acre in a rural but not isolated location backing onto farmland and with views to Hambledon Hill. We believe that the original part of the property dates to the 1960s and over the last four and half years our sellers have completely transformed the property into a stylish, contemporary home that will delight and satisfy many buyers needs. The property has benefited from an extension to the rear, which has provided flexible open plan living space with family, dining and kitchen areas as well as enlarging the first floor, creating a large main bedroom with the potential to add an en-suite and increasing the size of bedroom two and installing a Juliette balcony, from which there is a wonderful rural view. The property has new up to date soft closing kitchen units, new modern bathroom suites, replacement double glazing and a new oil fired boiler as well as being rewired. This stunning property must be viewed to truly appreciate not just the inside but also the established grounds, which have excellent privacy and sunny aspect and the location in the small but pretty village of East Orchard, which lies midway between the market town of Sturminster Newton and the historic hill top town of Shaftesbury - both five miles away.
