Glebeland Close, West Stafford, Dorchester

A beautifully extended and modernised detached bungalow in a charming Dorset village with spacious living and garden.

The Property - Ross is a detached bungalow that has been thoughtfully extended and significantly modernised by the current owner. Improvements include updated electrics, a modern air source heat pump system, and a double garage with planning permission (ref: P/HOU/2022/03768) to allow reconfiguration, creating a dressing room and en suite to the principal bedroom.

The property is beautifully presented throughout and offers well-proportioned, naturally bright accommodation, including three double bedrooms, a contemporary bathroom fitted with white sanitary ware, and a separate utility room with space and plumbing for a washing machine, as well as a hot water cylinder with immersion heater.

The standout feature is the impressive open-plan kitchen/living space. The kitchen is well-proportioned and fitted with a comprehensive range of cupboards and drawers, work surfaces with complementary tiled splashbacks, and a matching island with breakfast bar seating for four. Integrated appliances include a wine chiller, dishwasher, electric hob, and eye-level fan and combination oven. There is ample space for a dining table and chairs, with tiled flooring and French doors opening onto a large patio - ideal for indoor-outdoor living.

The kitchen flows seamlessly into the living area, which features a chimney breast with a cosy wood-burning stove and hearth, along with provision for a wall-mounted television.

Further benefits include UPVC double glazing, the energy-efficient air source heating system, an attached double garage with power and lighting, a gravel driveway, and additional parking to the front of the property.

Outside - A patio spans the full width of the bungalow, with steps leading down to a level lawn. The garden is bordered by established hedging and a brick wall along the far boundary, with planned new fencing to enhance privacy. Provision is in place for power and water, should a garden building or summerhouse be desired in the future.

There is also side access, while the front garden features a mature beech hedge and lawn.

Situation - West Stafford is a charming village in the Frome Valley, approximately 2.5 miles east of Dorchester, the county town.
