House For Sale £685,000
A great opportunity to purchase an attractive, generously sized detached family home with four good sized bedrooms, sitting in grounds of around quarter of an acre and boasting spectacular, uninterrupted, far reaching views over Dorset's beautiful Blackmore Vale countryside. The property enjoys a rural but not isolated situation and is about a mile and half from Stalbridge, which is one of the county's smallest towns. The town caters well for everyday needs with an award winning supermarket, family run butchers, post office and highly rated primary school. There is also a dentist surgery, community run library, various entertainment venues and takeaway outlets. Sherborne is around eight and half miles away with further facilities and mainline train station. The property is about twenty six years old and has been the very much loved and enjoyed home to our sellers for the last nineteen years. During this time it has been extremely well maintained and updated during the course of their ownership with new kitchen units and bathroom suites. In addition, a fabulous garden room has been added, which takes full advantage of those stunning views and offers flexible usage. The property enjoys an easy to use layout with well proportioned bright rooms that provide flexible room usage. It would make a wonderful family home or downsize in one's leisure years, as well as fulfilling many other purchasers' requirements. A viewing is imperative to truly appreciate what it has to offer the next owners.
