Stileham Bank, Milborne St. Andrew

A fabulous opportunity to purchase a well proportioned, modern detached bungalow with two double bedrooms, two reception rooms and enjoying an elevated position towards the end of the cul de sac in the delightful village of Milborne St Andrew. The property is ideally placed between the major towns of Blandford and Dorchester - both about 9 miles away. The village itself benefits from a church, public house and shop as well as a primary school. There is also the village hall, which hosts many events.

This lovely bungalow has been a much loved and enjoyed home to our seller for the last eighteen years. During this time it has been extremely well maintained and improved. In the early years, gas fired central heating was installed, the shower room and kitchen were updated and a useful and essential separate cloakroom was created. More recently, the window glasses have been replaced. In addition, there is an air circulation system for fresh air. The property is well presented yet presents a canvas for you to add your personal touch and make it truly your own.

There are two double sized bedrooms, perfect for a small family or those looking for a guest room or home office. The spacious L shaped sitting/dining room enjoys a double outlook and is flooded with natural light, and for the chilly winter evenings the fire creates a warm and inviting atmosphere for relaxing or entertaining with family and friends. The combined utility/conservatory, provides a versatile space that can be tailored to suit your own needs. Outside, the drive has space for two small cars plus the garage, which has light and power and the large garden is ideal for green-fingered enthusiasts or those seeking a peaceful outdoor space to unwind. The garden gently slopes up to the top where there is a shed with power and water offering potential to create a work from home space.

Viewing is essential to fully appreciate all this home has to offer.
