Marshwood, Bridport

A beautifully presented three double bedroom bungalow set on the edge of the Marshwood Vale. The property features a 26 foot kitchen/family room, double garage and level, well tended gardens in the region of 0.3 acres.

2 Vale View is a truly superb, detached bungalow offering all the advantages one might think of when looking for single storey living. The property has been extensively remodelled by the current seller since purchasing the bungalow in 2011. This includes the addition of a sizable kitchen and utility extension to the rear elevation. The bungalow has well balanced, spacious accommodation and scope for a potential loft conversion, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents. To the front elevation is a double glazed entrance porchway with tiled floor and double doors leading through to a central hallway. The main reception room looks out over the front garden and features a bay window. There are three spacious double bedrooms, including a beautiful en suite shower room to the master and family bathroom with a modern white suite. The real hub of this home is the kitchen/family room. Rarely do you find a room of these proportions with single storey living. The kitchen area has a wide range of classic cream fronted units, wooden work surfacing and a variety of integrated appliances. There is ample space for a sizable dining table and an informal seating area to enjoy the viewings out over the garden. The utility room provides further storage and houses the oil fired boiler and a separate WC.
