Description
A semi-detached 3 bedroom property in need of complete renovation, enjoying an idyllic rural location and 0.23 acres of gardens and grounds.
The Property - Built in the late 1950's, this semi-detached thatched cottage requires complete renovation throughout whilst providing excellent scope for re-modelling and extension, subject to planning permission. The existing accommodation comprises entrance hall, sitting/dining room, kitchen, study and WC on the ground floor and 3 bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor. Outside, the property enjoys approximately 0.23 acres of gardens and grounds and off-road parking. There are delightful countryside views over farmland at the rear of the property.
Situation - Turnerspuddle is a sought-after, rural village located just 1.5 miles from the larger village of Bere Regis and is well-placed for access to the A35 with routes to Poole, Bournemouth and Dorchester and the A31 to Wimborne and Ringwood. The famous Dorset coast can be reached within a 20-minute drive (Lulworth Cove is 10.5 miles) and the surrounding countryside provides excellent walking and cycling. There is a mainline station with direct services to to London Waterloo, Bournemouth, and Southampton at Moreton (7.5 miles).
