Chard Street, Thorncombe, Dorset

Situated in the heart of the charming village of Thorncombe, Lanterns is a classic 1970`s, detached bungalow, enjoying a southerly aspect garden as well as garage and driveway parking. One of just three bungalows in a small cul-de-sac, the property is stone`s throw from the village hall and community run shop and cafe. Lanterns has the look and feel of a property that has been well-loved and well maintained over the years and may now benefit from a little modernisation in some areas. The accommodation is spacious and comprises: generous hall, three bedrooms (one with en-suite), a timeless family bathroom, cottage-style kitchen, large lounge/dining room with a multi-fuel stove, conservatory and plenty of light thanks to its large windows, many of which enjoy views out to the garden that frames the rear of the property. This is a great bungalow, ideal for someone wanting to put their own stamp on a home without the stress of taking on a big project, with the added bonus of a fantastic village community.

Thorncombe village lies in the western corner of Dorset close to the Devon and Somerset borders and just under 10 miles inland from the popular seaside resort of Lyme Regis on the Jurassic coast.

The area has been designated as one of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the village itself has a very strong community with many local clubs on offer and an excellent community run shop/cafe.
