Barnes Close, Marnhull, Sturminster Newton

A generously proportioned two bedroom detached chalet bungalow set within the popular village of Marnhull, Dorset's largest village nestled in the heart of the Blackmore Vale. Well served for everyday needs, the village offers two primary schools, a GP surgery, two public houses, a pharmacy and a range of local shops.

Arranged across two floors and extending to approximately 1,480 square feet, the accommodation is notably spacious throughout. On the ground floor, a generous sitting room with a feature fireplace, a separate dining room with potential as a third bedroom, a fitted kitchen, bathroom and utility room all contribute to a well considered and flexible layout. Upstairs, two large double bedrooms each benefit from their own en suite.

Outside, an enclosed south-westerly facing rear garden enjoys a good degree of privacy and is not overlooked. A garage and off road parking for at least two vehicles complete the plot.

The Property -

Inside - Ground Floor
Entering through a porch, the entrance hall gives access to the principal ground floor rooms. The sitting room is a particularly impressive space centred around a feature fireplace. Off the hallway, a separate dining room is a versatile space which, given the presence of a ground floor bathroom, could equally serve as a third bedroom if required.

The kitchen is fitted with traditional shaker style units and wood effect worktops. A hob and oven are in place alongside space for further appliances, with a window looking out over the rear garden and a door leading directly outside. There is also room for a table, making it a practical everyday space. A utility room and ground floor bathroom complete the accommodation at this level.

First Floor
Stairs rise to the first floor where two generous double bedrooms are found. Both rooms are well proportioned and each benefits from its own en suite. Storage is well catered for throughout, with fitted wardrobes in both bedrooms and further space available in the eaves.

To the front, a lawned garden with a few mature trees creates an attractive approach to the property. The rear garden faces a south-westerly aspect, is enclosed and not overlooked, laid mainly to lawn with mature shrubs, trees and a patio area. A garden shed is also included within the plot.

Parking
A garage and off road parking for at least two vehicles are available to the front of the property.
