Detached four bedroom bungalow with panoramic country views.

The Dwelling - The property occupies an elevated position with a wealth of accommodation which has been subject to a programme of renewal and improvement under the current ownership. Its elevated position provides wonderful far reaching views over the rolling Dorset countryside into the Marshwood Vale and towards Charmouth and the sea.

Accommodation - The accommodation is unusually spacious and is orientated towards the views that look south and west, further enhancing the feeling of light and space within the property. The principal open plan living area stretches across the rear taking in the best of the views, with a sitting area to one end with a woodburning stove as its focal point and a dining area to the other. The kitchen has been tastefully modernised, and is fitted with a range of base units with a central island and space for appliances. Adjacent is a large utility room with a door out onto the garden at one end and a door into the garage to the other, with a cloakroom to one corner. There are two double bedrooms on the ground floor served by a shower room. On the first floor are two further double bedrooms taking in the wonderful views, with a window seat to one of the bedrooms. These rooms share a contemporary shower room.

Outside - To the front of the house there is a large area of driveway providing turning and parking for a number of cars and access to the garage and a gated gravel laid side access to the rear, a south-west facing garden with a paved terrace, ideal for sitting out in the summer months, below which is a large area of lawn with vegetable beds with mature herbaceous planted borders. Beyond here is a more wild area ideal for encouraging wildlife on this 1/3 of an acre plot.
