Percy Gardens, Blandford Forum

This spacious family home is located in a very sought-after part of Blandford, just a short walk away from the town centre but surrounded by greenery and avoids any main road noise. Built in the late 70’s, the current vendors are only the second owners of the house and have recently done a full decorative renovation, bringing it up to a high, modern standard.
The accommodation throughout is spacious and well organised. Upon entrance to the house through the porch, the large hallway features a downstairs W/C and doorways to both the living room and kitchen. The particularly large living room has an fireplace with multi fuel stove and a large window that allows for lovely, green views out onto the cul-de-sac. A double doorway leads to the dining room with French doors opening out to the large conservatory, fitted with underfloor heating. Further double doors lead out to the rear garden. The modern kitchens has pleasant views over the rear garden and a separate utility room with side access to the garden.

On the first floor is four double bedrooms, family bathroom and a large storage cupboard. The master bedroom has an en-suite with bath, W/C and hand basin as well as a walk-in wardrobe. All rooms are spacious with plenty of space for storage.

Outside - The approach to the property is particularly attractive with a large gravel driveway, boarded by lawn. There is parking for up to six cars in front of the double garage. Paths leading to the rear of the property allow for side access on both sides of the house. The current vendors have built a lean-to on the left-hand side as a bike/storage area. The rear garden is laid to lawn with flower/shrub boarders and tall fences to create a very private space. The property is set well back from the cul-de-sac and is surrounded by trees and greenery.

Situation - Blandford Forum is an interesting Georgian market town which offers a good variety of shopping with a twice weekly market, banks, doctor surgeries, dentists, community hospital, supermarkets, and education for all ages, recreational and cultural facilities. The larger towns of Poole, Bournemouth and Dorchester are easily accessible. There are good schools in the area particularly in the private sector including Bryanston, Clayesmore, Canford, Sherborne and Milton Abbey. Recreation in the area includes golf at Blandford, Wareham and Broadstone water sports on Poole Harbour and the Jurassic Coast. Communications in the area include the A31 at Wimborne which provides a route to London along the M3/M27 and there are regular train services to London Waterloo from Salisbury, Poole and Dorchester.
