Caundle Marsh, Sherborne

A rare chance to purchase, with no onward chain, a spacious detached family bungalow lying in approximately two thirds of an acre, set back from the road and enjoying a slightly elevated position with rural views. The property boasts around 1,956 sq. ft. (182 sq. m.) of living space with four generously sized bedrooms plus a range of quality outbuildings with light and heat that offer multi-functional usage. The bungalow is located in the small village of Caundle Marsh, which is just four miles from the historic town of Sherborne, where there is a full range of amenities and mainline train station serving London, Waterloo and Exeter, St David's. Local facilities may be found 1.5 miles away at Bishops Caundle where there is a petrol station, community run village shop with post office, public house and primary school. The property has been a loved and enjoyed home to our sellers for the last seven years. During this time they have invested a great deal of time, energy and money transforming a standard bungalow into a stylish and contemporary home that satisfies today's needs and delivers 'on trend' accommodation with a fabulous open plan kitchen/dining/ family room with multi sliding doors out to the balcony and providing plenty of space for entertaining friends and family and where memories will be made forever. This wonderful home offers flexible room usage and potential to use as a business with the various outbuildings and excellent outdoor space. Viewing is essential to really see what it has to offer and how it lends itself to many types of buyers.
