Lynwood Drive, Merley, Wimborne, Dorset, BH21

Price Guide: £400,000-£425,000 Freehold.

A 3/4 bedroom detached house IN NEED OF COMPLETE REFURBISHMENT AND MODERNISATION, and for sale with NO FORWARD CHAIN, on a popular residential development.

Set back from the road, with a long front garden and a double garage, the property represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a renovation project providing a blank canvas for improvement. Features include a large living/dining room, a utility room, a ground floor cloakroom and a first floor bathroom. The former fourth bedroom is currently a dressing room with WC and wash basin, but could be reinstated as a bedroom if desired.

An entrance lobby leads to a hall with access to a ground floor cloakroom (with WC and wash basin). To the left, there is a large, dual aspect living/dining room with patio door to the rear garden, and fireplace surround. Overlooking the rear garden, the kitchen has units, a stainless steel sink, appliance space and an under stairs cupboard. The adjacent utility room has plumbing for a washing machine, and a door to outside.

Stairs from the hall lead to the first floor landing which has a loft access and an airing cupboard. There is a large principal bedroom to the front, with fitted wardrobes, and a door to an en suite dressing/cloakroom which was formerly the fourth bedroom and later a shower room, but the shower has been replaced by wardrobes. Bedroom 2 has wardrobes, and bedroom 3 has a built-in wardrobe. The bathroom comprises bath (with electric shower over), wash basin and WC.

The property has a long front garden with off road parking on a tarmac drive which leads to a semi-integral double garage, a lawn, a conifer hedge, and a large mature oak tree. Access at the side of the house leads to an overgrown rear garden.

Location:
Merley offers local shops, a health practice, a First School, a community centre and a church, and bus services run to the coastal towns of Poole and Bournemouth, both of which have mainline rail links to London Waterloo.

There are delightful walks close by, in Delph Woods and along the Castleman Trailway to Wimborne and Poole.
