Description
A delightful three-bedroom, two-bathroom detached bungalow, located on the edge of a village known for its picturesque cottages and beautiful surrounding landscape. Offered for sale with no onward chain.
The Property - Greystones is a one of only a few bungalows in the popular village of Piddletrenthide. Occupying a sizeable plot of just under a 1/4 of an acre, the property enjoys an elevated position with mature front and rear gardens, a gated driveway providing parking for three cars and a detached single garage.
It also offers the potential to extend the footprint, subject to the necessary planning consents.
Accommodation - At the front of the bungalow, the sitting room overlooks the south-facing front garden and features a charming fireplace with a wood-burning stove. The kitchen is well-equipped with a range of floor and wall-mounted units. Integrated appliances include a double electric oven at eye level, hob with an extractor hood over, an oil-fired Rayburn cooker (which also serves the radiator in the sitting room), washing machine, as well as space for an integrated dishwasher and a tall fridge freezer. An open archway leads through to the generous triple-aspect dining room, which offers custom built-in cabinetry, pretty views of the village church and access to the rear garden through double doors.
The spacious entrance hall features an airing cupboard housing the hot water tank and provides access to the loft storage (part boarded) via a pull-down ladder. There are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, each with fitted cupboards, whilst the principal bedroom enjoys a large bay window and a south-facing aspect. A family bathroom and a separate shower room, both conveniently located off the hallway, complete the accommodation. Additionally, the property benefits from double glazing throughout and a security alarm system installed in both the house and garage.
Outside - A pedestrian gate provides access from the top of Church Lane to the front garden, which features a lawn area, paved terrace and well-maintained flower borders.
The rear garden is thoughtfully designed over two levels, with a gravelled parking area and garage situated on the higher level. There is a convenient outside tap and the external boiler is neatly located here. The lower level is predominantly laid to lawn, with mature flower beds and shrubs to one side, while a newly planted orchard beyond offers an exciting opportunity for keen gardeners to cultivate and enjoy.
Situation - Greystones enjoys a sought-after position in the desirable Piddle Valley, approximately 7 miles north of Dorchester. The village of Piddletrenthide offers a friendly community with a modern first school, village shop, two public houses, village hall and a range of local activities.
The county town of Dorchester lies to the south, providing an excellent selection of shops, restaurants and schools, as well as the Dorset County Hospital. Communications are good with rail links from Dorchester to London/Waterloo and Bristol/Temple Meads. Additionally, both Sherborne and Yeovil are on the London/Exeter line. Road links are easily accessible via the A35, connecting to the A31 and onward to the M27/M3 towards London.
There are many footpaths and bridleways across the beautiful surrounding countryside. The Jurassic Coastline is a few miles to the south with some sandy beaches, outstanding coastal walks and the opportunity to enjoy a number of water sports activities.
