Cross Road, Bradford Abbas, Sherborne, DT9

A significantly extended 4 bedroom, link detached bungalow located in a peaceful village setting. Secure gardens, garage and parking. No onward chain.


9 Cross Road was built in the mid 1960’s with reconstituted stone and rendered elevations, under a tiled roof. A later rear extension in the 1980’s has provided a wealth of additional accommodation, resulting in a well-proportioned and versatile home. The setting is peaceful, positioned in a quiet cul-de-sac away from passing traffic with far reaching views to the front of the property, over open countryside. The property is also located close to the centre of the popular Dorset village of Bradford Abbas, within striking distance of the village pub, church and primary school. The property enjoys exceptional levels of natural light with the living space comprising an entrance porch / boot room, leading through to the impressive 21’4” x 19’9” dual aspect sitting/dining room with open fireplace. The kitchen has a comprehensive range of modern floor and wall mounted units and cupboards while beyond the kitchen there is a large utility, providing additional storage, plumbing for white goods and housing the oil fired boiler. The utility sits in the extended section of the bungalow, alongside a useful rear hall with access to a modern shower room and fourth bedroom/study. Returning to the front of the property, an inner hall connects two double bedrooms and one good sized single, all with fitted wardrobes. The bedrooms are served by a bathroom and a separate WC. Testament to the excellent location, the property has been in the current vendors ownership for many years, occupied as a much loved family home for decades. The property has been well cared for with both double glazing and regularly serviced oil fired central heating.
