A wonderful opportunity to purchase a detached bungalow situated in a semi-rural location on the edge of Pen Selwood within an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The property is set within approximately 0.30 acres of gardens and backs onto adjoining fields. Although the property requires refurbishment throughout there is huge potential to extend (subject to planning permission) providing an opportunity to create an individual home in a stunning location. We strongly recommend a viewing to fully appreciate the potential of this property.
