Crossways, Dorset

This charming detached three-bedroom bungalow has undergone thoughtful refurbishment, by the current owners some 6 years ago, completed to an exceptionally high standard with quality fixtures and fittings throughout. The redesign incorporates a new extension and modern layout, creating a home that perfectly suits contemporary living while retaining a welcoming, light-filled atmosphere.
The ENTRANCE PORCH, with its character wood-pillared design and recessed spotlights, opens into a spacious and welcoming ENTRANCE HALL with doors radiating out.

The SITTING ROOM is bright and airy with plentiful natural light courtesy of the double-glazed window perfectly framing the view of the generous front garden, while double doors open directly onto the rear garden. This pleasing reception room is centred around the warming feature electric fire, an array of power points (as elsewhere), together with dual TV sockets, allow flexible furniture arrangements. A vaulted ceiling further enhances the sense of space and light, adding to the room’s appeal.

At the heart of the home lies the KITCHEN AND DINING ROOM, designed with entertaining in mind. It includes a comprehensive range of wall and base units, a 1½ bowl Asterite™ sink, extensive work surfaces, and a full suite of integrated appliances comprising integrated electric oven, induction hob with fume hood over, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, and microwave. A sociable breakfast bar provides additional preparation space, while the large dining area comfortably accommodates a family-sized table. A rear door opens directly to the garden, promoting a seamless indoor-outdoor flow.

The separate UTILITY ROOM provides excellent storage with full-height cupboards, worktops, plumbing for a washing machine, radiator, and houses the Glow-worm™ combi boiler.

There are THREE BEDROOMS. The principal bedroom enjoys views over the rear garden, while bedrooms two and three have front-facing views. The BATHROOM is stylishly fitted with a bath featuring rain fall shower and hand shower attachments, a modern vanity unit with inset wash hand basin, W.C., heated towel rail / radiator, part tiling, extractor fan, and natural light courtesy of the rear facing window.

Outside
The bungalow is set within landscaped gardens that have been thoughtfully designed for low maintenance and year-round enjoyment. The FRONT GARDEN features an expanse of neatly kept lawn with a well-established tree, bordered by attractive panel fencing with concrete posts, offering both privacy and structure.

An EXTENSIVE RESIN DRIVEWAY provides generous parking and leads to the first of TWO GARAGES — this one fitted with an up-and-over door, side personnel access, and a WORKSHOP to the rear, ideal for hobbies, DIY, or additional storage. The SECOND GARAGE, positioned to the side of the property and accessed via its own driveway, also benefits from an up-and-over door, offering further parking or storage options.

The REAR GARDEN has been attractively landscaped with a bonded resin gravel pathway that meanders through a variety of seating areas, an area of lawn, and raised planted beds, creating a tranquil and private outdoor retreat the garden once again enclosed by panelled fencing with concrete posts.
