House For Sale £420,000
A delightful detached modern bungalow situated towards the top of a long private drive and offering nicely proportioned accommodation, lying in decent sized enchanting grounds just a short walk to the village centre. The property is located in the well served and popular Dorset village of Marnhull, which boasts a doctor's surgery with pharmacy, two stores, one with post office, two primary schools and three churches. In addition, there is the village hall and recreational grounds and public houses. Further facilities are a short drive away in Sturminster Newton and Shaftesbury. This lovely bungalow has been a much cherished home to our sellers for the last twenty one years, during this time it has been extremely well maintained and re-configured to provide more user friendly and contemporary living space. The kitchen has recently been updated with solid wood doors and work surfaces, new double oven and hob has been fitted as well as stylish tiling and wood panelling to the walls. Some of the power points benefit from USB connection and a utility cupboard has been fitted in one of the bedrooms, which could also be used for storage. Outside, the front garden has been imaginatively landscaped, inspired by a personal memory and was featured on Monty Don's 'Big Dreams, Small Spaces'. A viewing is really recommended to truly appreciate the inside and outside space this charming property has to offer as well as its position within the village.
