House For Sale £600,000
A bright and spacious detached family bungalow with four good sized bedrooms, sitting in grounds extending to about a third of an acre and enjoying a rural but not isolated location on the fringe of Stalbridge. The bungalow is situated about a mile from the town, surrounded by some beautiful countryside with the rear view being protected by a covenant that stops any building being constructed to obscure the delightful vista. The bungalow was built in the mid 1980s and has been a very much loved and enjoyed home to our seller for the last fifteen years. During this time it has been extremely well maintained and improved with initial renewing of kitchen units and bathroom suite and replacement uPVC double glazed windows as well as a new consumer unit that was fitted earlier this year. The bungalow also benefits from oil fired central heating, wholly owned solar panels that provide an income and its own sewage treatment system, which was installed in January this year. This wonderful home has to be viewed to truly appreciated the well proportioned, easy to use layout, the environment and its easy access to facilities with Dorset's smallest town within easy reach. Stalbridge caters well for everyday needs with an award winning supermarket, family run butchers, highly rated primary school, dentist surgery and community run library. There is also a public house and various takeaways. An early viewing is strongly recommended to avoid missing out on the opportunity to own this great home.
