About
A detached three-bedroom bungalow with great potential to update, set within a generous plot with delightful far-reaching views across local countryside, off street parking and garage.
This appealing 1970’s detached three-bedroom bungalow is peacefully positioned at the far end of a nothrough development in the highly regarded village of Yetminster, with excellent amenities close at hand.
Set within a generous plot, the property enjoys a wonderful open outlook across its gardens and the countryside beyond.
The accommodation includes a porch, three bedrooms located at the front of the home, and a spacious sitting/dining room where a large picture window beautifully frames the garden and far-reaching rural views.
A kitchen, utility room and bathroom complete the layout.
While the bungalow would benefit from gentle modernisation throughout, it presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a sizeable home with superb potential in one of Dorset’s most favoured villages, offered for sale with no onward chain.
To the front, a driveway provides ample off-street parking and access to the garage.
The gardens, mainly laid to lawn, extend to the side and rear, with a lower section of natural garden and a useful shed.
The main garden is bordered by established natural hedging and attractive planted beds, enjoying a delightful open aspect and countryside scenery, while the side garden features a greenhouse and shaped floral borders, making this a haven for keen gardeners.
