South View, Alweston, Sherborne, Dorset, DT9

A delightful one-bedroom semi-detached bungalow tucked away in a quiet position in the sought-after Dorset village of Alweston. This charming property offers well-presented accommodation and a private wraparound garden, making it ideal for those seeking a peaceful village lifestyle. The home benefits from an air source hear pump and pressurised water tank installed just 18 months ago (with warranty remaining), double glazing throughout, and in good decorative order.

Ground Floor
Entering through the half-glazed front door into the L-shaped hallway, a utility area sits to the left. This is a practical space with plumbing for a washing machine beneath a useful worktop with shelving above, storage for household essentials and space for shoes and coats. This area has both electricity and lighting, making it a handy addition to the home. The bathroom features a bath with electric Mira Vie shower over and shower screen, WC and washbasin. A slim obscured window brings in natural light and the space is finished with taupe tiles with textured detailing and white and grey marble effect hexagonal vinyl flooring. Opposite, the double bedroom overlooks the rear garden and benefits from a large built-in wardrobe with sliding doors, providing excellent storage.

The sitting room is a bright and relaxing living area featuring a modern wall-mounted electric fire, a cupboard with shelving warmed by the neighbouring boiler, and sliding doors leading to both the kitchen and conservatory. The kitchen is spacious and stylish, fitted with white gloss wall and base units complemented by grey granite effect worktops and a red acrylic splashback. Appliances include an integrated fridge and freezer, eye-level single oven, 4-ring electric hob with stainless steel chimney extractor, and space for a dishwasher beneath the counter. A font-facing window brings in plenty of light, and the matching hexagonal-patterned grey and white vinyl flooring continues the modern finish. The conservatory is a lovely additional living area with heating, lighting and electrics. Carpeted, it features concertina blinds and French doors opening to the patio and rear garden – perfect in all weathers.

Outside
The garden wraps around the property and is laid to lawn with a pathway leading to the front door with planted beds – one with established shrubs and another with roses. A wooden shed, washing line, and hedge with open fields beyond create a private and practical outdoor space. The rear garden has a patio to the front of the French doors and a climbing passion flower runs across the top of the fence, adding colour and charm. A meandering pathway leads down to Roselyn Crescent, where parking can be found on the roadside.

Location
Alweston is a peaceful village in Dorset, historically known for its baking, located just off the A3030, with Haydon to the north, North Wootton to the west, Caundle Marsh to the southeast and Folke to the south. This attractive rural community enjoys a strong sense of village life, supported by an active village hall, a public house ‘The Elms’ in the nearby village of North Wootton and the church of St Lawrence in Folke, which dates to 1628, that lies within the parish. The historic market and Abbey town of Sherborne (3.5 miles) provides a comprehensive range of amenities, including a variety of independent shops, cafes, restaurants, supermarkets, well-regarded schools, and healthcare facilities. Despite its rural location, the property is well connected, with Sherborne and Yeovil Junction railway stations both within easy reach, offering direct services to London Waterloo (2 hours) and other key destinations and a South West Coaches bus service which runs regularly to neighbouring villages and to Yeovil—making this an ideal setting for those seeking the balance of rural living with excellent access to town amenities and transport links.
