Pilwell, Marnhull, Sturminster Newton

A great opportunity to purchase a delightful and spacious two/three double bedroom detached bungalow, sitting in good sized grounds and within easy reach of all the amenities of the well served village of Marnhull. The village is one of Dorset's largest and enjoys an excellent community spirit with many events being held at the village hall and recreational grounds. There are two highly rated primary schools, three churches and two village shops with post office, as well as public houses that serve food and a doctor's surgery with attached pharmacy.

Inside, there is a good sized sitting room with plenty of space to relax with family and friends as well as a roomy combined kitchen and dining room that is fitted with ample storage cupboards and enough space for hosting family gatherings and entertaining guests. The addition of the garden room provides a multi-purpose space that could be used as an occasional bedroom or study. Vital for country living is the utility/boot room with door to the drive.

Outside, the large sunny and private garden offers a peaceful haven where you can relax and unwind as well as providing a blank canvas to landscape to your own design. The large insulated timber cabin provides additional storage, workshop or potential as a work from home space. There is off road parking for cars and storage for other vehicles as well as the garage, which has light and power.

The property is well presented and maintained - all you need to do is decide where to place your furniture and add your personal touches to make it your own home.

An early viewing is advised to avoid disappointment as this delightful bungalow will tick many potential buyers' needs and won't be available for long.
