Introduction - A well-proportioned three-bedroom bungalow, set within a generous plot and offering excellent potential for modernisation, situated in a well-established residential setting.
The property has been well maintained over time and now presents an exciting opportunity for a new owner to update and personalise, creating a home perfectly suited to modern living.
The Property - The property is entered via a central hallway, from which all principal rooms are accessed, creating a practical and well-balanced layout.
The main reception room is particularly spacious, extending the full depth of the property and enjoying an abundance of natural light from large windows to both aspects. A charming exposed stone fireplace provides a focal point, adding character and warmth to the space, whilst there is ample room for both seating and dining areas. A door leads directly out to the garden, enhancing the connection between indoor and outdoor living.
The kitchen is positioned to the rear and offers a good footprint with scope for redesign and opening up, subject to requirements, allowing a buyer to create a contemporary kitchen/breakfast space.
There are three bedrooms, including two comfortable doubles and a further single bedroom, which would also serve well as a home office or guest room.
The property is served by a family bathroom and shower room, which, like the kitchen, would now benefit from updating.
Outside - To the front of the property there is driveway parking for approximately three vehicles, along with a single garage complete with power and lighting.
The rear garden is a particular feature, being of a generous size and enjoying a high degree of privacy. Laid predominantly to lawn with a variety of established shrubs, trees and planting, it offers a wonderful setting for outdoor living and gardening, whilst also providing a blank canvas for landscaping or extension potential, subject to the necessary permissions.
Situation - Netherbury is a picturesque village in a designated conservation area comprising mainly period stone houses and cottages for which the area is well known. There are excellent countryside walks including the Hardy Way and the original River Cottage from the TV show. It has a church, village hall and the 'Hare and Hounds' public house can be found in the nearby hamlet of Waytown. Beaminster to the north offers many facilities including a good range of shops, churches, post office, library, two schools, health centres, other professional services and many social and sporting facilities. For a range of multiple stores one can visit Bridport (5 miles), Dorchester or Yeovil.
