A delightful detached bungalow situated in a wonderful semi rural location on the outskirts of Marnhull. The property is set within a large secluded garden and enjoys views over adjoining fields and countryside beyond. The current owners have greatly improved the property in recent years with a substantial rear extension providing a particularly spacious kitchen/diner and sitting room. The bungalow also benefits from lapsed planning to extend into the loft to create a master bedroom with en-suite. A new stylish kitchen was installed during 2022 and opens to the dining area with French doors leading to a timber decked terrace ideal for al fresco dining. Other noteworthy features include parking for several vehicles, detached garage, secure front garden, enclosed entrance porch, oil fired central heating and double glazed windows. We strongly recommend an internal viewing on this delightful property which also offers great potential to create a larger family home.

LOCATION: Marnhull is one of the largest villages in England with a thriving community life and is celebrated in Thomas Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles. It has two public houses, two primary schools, three churches, doctors' surgery, pharmacy, carpet and soft furnishing shop, two grocery shops (one with a post office), hairdresser and beauty salon. There are many clubs and societies, and it is surrounded by beautiful countryside. More extensive shopping, business and recreational facilities can be found in Sturminster Newton 3½ miles, whilst the larger towns of Shaftesbury, Gillingham and Sherborne are all easily accessible. The A303 is to the north of Gillingham linking with the M3 to London and mainline railway stations in Gillingham and Sherborne with a regular service to London Waterloo taking about 2 hours.
