Mill Rise, Bourton

A wonderful opportunity to purchase a substantial detached family home offering around 1800 sq. ft (167 sq. m) of internal space with four generously sized bedrooms, some delightful countryside views and sitting in beautifully landscaped mature grounds. The property is situated in a quiet cul de sac in the popular Dorset village of Bourton and is within walking distance of the village's facilities. There is a public house, which serves food, garage with attached convenience store plus a pre/primary school and church. Further facilities are a short drive away at Mere, Wincanton and Gillingham, which has a mainline train station.

The property was built in the 1970s and indicative of the era benefits from large windows that allow the inside to be flooded with natural light. The property has been a very much loved and enjoyed home of our sellers for the last seven years. During this time it has been well maintained and improved with new uPVC double glazed windows throughout. Over the course of its lifetime, the property has been re-configured to provide contemporary living space with a fabulous open plan sitting/dining and kitchen, making it a perfect social and entertaining space for family and friends to enjoy. The four generously sized bedrooms are ideal for an existing or growing family and there is the convenience of the family shower room and en-suite.

Outside, there is driveway parking and the garage, plus a beautifully landscaped mature garden that is the best place to relax after a busy day and catch up with a bit of reading whilst sipping a coffee.

This splendid home must be viewed to truly appreciate all that it has to offer and how easily it will meet the needs of many. Add a few personal touches and the house will be yours to call home.
