Rowden Mill Lane, Stourton Caundle, Sturminster Newton

A large detached bungalow with fantastic 971 sq ft workshop on the edge of the village with wonderful far-reaching views and adjoining field. In all about 3.55 acres.

The Dwelling - The Beeches was built in 1989 and is a particularly spacious detached bungalow with internal accommodation of over 2100 sq ft. The principal reception rooms and kitchen all have a glorious southerly aspect with fine far-reaching views over the Dorset countryside. The Beeches occupies a very peaceful location on a no-through lane with only one property beyond so very little passing traffic and has scope to modernise with plenty of potential for a buyer to put their own stamp on.

Hall, Sitting room, Dining Room, Kitchen / breakfast room, 4 Bedrooms, Bathroom, Utility Room, Cloakroom.

Outside - The property is approached from the lane via double wooden gates on to a drive where there is ample parking and turning for a number of cars. There is a double garage with electric roller door, power and light. Planning Permission was granted in 2014 for a garage / storage building and this fantastic building offers superb workshop and garaging space, measures about 971 ft with an electric roller door, power and light and has the potential for a number of uses. There is a further sizeable store to the rear of the garage also with power and light.

The garden is mostly to the side (south) and rear of the bungalow and a five bar gate from the garden gives access to the field. The land is a laid to grass and gently sloping with fine views. A footpath runs along the southern boundary.
