House For Sale £500,000
An individual 3 bedroom detached family home with a large south facing garden.
Set in a prominent location opposite the maypole green in the heart of the popular village of Sturminster Marshall, about 4 miles west of Wimborne, the house offers great potential for extension, subject to planning consent. It was traditionally constructed in 1961 (with facing brick elevations under a concrete tiled roof) by relatives of our clients, and has never been for sale on the open market. Connected to all mains services, the house has gas central heating (the boiler for which was replaced 8 years ago), UPVC double glazed windows and doors throughout.
There is a spacious hall with a woodblock floor which continues through the 2 reception rooms. The sitting room has a (temporarily sealed) brick open fireplace and a large picture window overlooking the rear garden. The dining room also has a rear aspect. The kitchen has post formed work surfaces, a range of units, wall mounted gas boiler, AEG oven and grill, electric hob, extractor unit, space for washing machine and fridge-freezer, built-in larder, and door to a side porch (with doors to outside and a WC.)
A staircase leads to the first floor landing which has loft access and an airing cupboard. There are 2 double bedrooms and a single, all of which have built-in wardrobes, and a bathroom.
A concrete driveway has space for at least 2 vehicles, and there is a large single garage with up-and-over door, double glazed window, light, power and boarded roof. The gardens extend to about a quarter of acre. There is a large front lawn with mixed hedges and concrete pathways, and the lawn continues to the side. There is a large, south facing rear lawn enclosed by fencing and beech hedges, with concrete fuel bunkers.
Sturminster Marshall has a lively village community with First School, parish church, village hall, recreation ground, maypole green, golf course, post office/shop, pharmacy, 2 pub/restaurants and a café. There is easy access to the A350 and A31 providing good road connections to Blandford Forum, Dorchester, Poole and the market town of Wimborne Minster.
