Ullswater Road, Wimborne, Dorset, BH21

A well presented 3 bedroom detached chalet style house with a south facing garden, outstanding first floor river views, a garden studio, and planning permission to extend on 2 levels, in a quiet, established residential area enjoying easy access to Wimborne town centre.

Tastefully presented throughout, the property benefits from gas central heating, UPVC double glazing, and modern kitchen and bathrooms. The planning permission, for a ground floor annexe plus further first floor accommodation, offers potential to transform the property into a 4/5 bedroom home.

The kitchen is fitted with ample units and worktops and includes an integrated dishwasher, a fridge-freezer, and space for range cooker (available by separate negotiation).

There is also a ground floor third bedroom/office with fitted utility area (with sink and integrated washing machine), and en suite shower room (with shower cubicle and WC). From the hall, stairs lead to a first floor landing with loft access and airing cupboard containing the gas central heating boiler.
