Description
Spacious chalet-style bungalow on a private plot with wraparound mature gardens, versatile living, sunroom, and two single garages, with scope to modernise.
The Property - A chalet-style bungalow set within a generous plot of mature gardens that wrap around the property, dotted with established trees and shrubs providing a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion.
The property backs onto open fields and benefits from a secure driveway, ample parking, and two single garages.
The accommodation offers spacious and flexible living, with scope for modernisation and personalisation. The entrance porch opens into a welcoming hallway leading to the principal reception rooms. The double-aspect sitting room features an open fireplace and enjoys a lovely outlook, with sliding doors opening into the sunroom, which overlooks the gardens.
The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of wall and base units, with space for appliances and room for a breakfast table. Adjacent is the dining room, which offers the potential to combine with the kitchen to create a larger open-plan space if desired.
Also on the ground floor is a generous double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, served by a Jack & Jill shower room, which also provides access from the hallway.
Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms and two well-proportioned single bedrooms. The two single rooms were originally one larger bedroom and could easily be reinstated if preferred.
Outside - The wonderful gardens are a particular feature of the property - mainly laid to lawn with mature trees, shrubs, and deep flower borders. A paved terrace adjoins the rear of the house, with a pathway that continues around the property. The driveway provides ample parking and leads to the two single garages.
Situation - The property is located in the picturesque village of Charminster which is home to a first school, two pubs, a pretty Norman church and a village hall.
Charminster is just a couple of miles from Dorset's historic county town, Dorchester, which has many restaurants, over 400 shops, various leisure facilities, a number of highly regarded schools and the renowned Dorset County Hospital. A regular bus service operates through the village of Charminster and Dorchester provides rail links to London Waterloo and Bristol Temple Meads.
