Description
A large chalet-style bungalow on the outskirts of Sturminster Newton with lovely mature gardens giving an outlook over fields towards the River Stour and beyond to open countryside.
The Property - Hunters Moon was built in the mid 1970's of a stone façade and a tiled roof. There are generous and versatile living rooms. The sitting room not only enjoys views over the neighbouring field but is the centre piece with the dining room, conservatory and eat in kitchen all stemming easily from here. The main bedroom has been adapted for the current vendors' needs and was once two bedrooms. The third bedroom is up a single flight of stairs, above and away from the main living areas.
Direct access to the garden is from either the dining room or conservatory onto a raised patio giving verdant vistas over the garden. There is a further door from the utility room that takes you to the side garden with gated access to the parking area.
Outside - Approached from Bath Road on the edge of town, there is a generous driveway with turning area and leads to the double garage and plenty of parking. To the rear is a stunning enclosed garden, approximately 65m long from the dining room, with spectacular views over the River Stour and The Blackmore Vale beyond. Cleverly designed with flower and shrub borders, for intrigue, the garden gently slopes away from the house with some expansive lawned areas. Footpath access to the River Stour and beyond is at the end of the garden too.
