Burges Close is a quiet cul-de-sac located on the edge of the village of Marnhull and

single level and offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, a shared shower room and separate w/c located off the central hallway, with the substantial, open plan sitting/dining room, the kitchen/breakfast room and utility room all located to the other side of the hallway. The sitting room features include a triple aspect, feature fireplace and French doors opening onto the garden. The property is in good condition throughout but could benefit from updating in some areas.

SITUATION
Marnhull is famously known as ‘Marlot’ in Thomas Hardy’s novel, Tess of the D’Urbervilles.
Reportedly the largest village in Dorset, Marnhull lies in the Blackmore Vale, an area of
outstanding natural beauty with amenities including, a doctor’s surgery, two convenience
stores, a family run Butcher, hairdresser and two public houses. The nearby small town
of Stalbridge offers an award-winning family run supermarket ‘Dikes’ with bakery and
cafe, Post Office, Pharmacy, Dentist, Vets, Library and Primary School. The nearby towns
of Shaftesbury and Gillingham offer Doctors surgeries and a selection of larger
supermarkets. The area offers a wide choice of well-regarded state and private Primary
and Secondary Schools as well as many leisure activities and clubs. Transport links are
very good with a mainline railway station in Gillingham and the A303 a short drive away.

OUTSIDE
Accessed via the shingle, part shared driveway, the property offers parking for several
vehicles as well as access to the integral single garage. The bungalow sits forward in
its plot with gardens on three sides but predominantly to the rear and side overlooking
farmland. Mainly laid to lawn, the garden is fairly low maintenance with some
small trees and shrubs. A low block wall encloses the front while mature hedging is
planted along the remaining boundaries. A patio enjoys the views and an area of
sleeper raised veg/flower beds is kept separate by trellis but connected to the garden by a timber arch.
