An immaculately presented 3 double bedroom detached bungalow at the head of a quiet cul-de-sac, in an elevated position with views of Wimborne Minster and the town centre.
Situated on the fringe of the town, just over half a mile from The Square, the bungalow is beautifully appointed throughout and has a stunning, well stocked, private garden.
Built in the 1960s, with red brick elevations under a concrete tiled roof, and re-modelled and modernised to a high standard by the current owner, the property’s original integral garage has been converted into accommodation and storage, but there is still excellent off road parking for several vehicles.
The L-shaped entrance hallway has space for a workstation, a boiler cupboard housing a Baxi gas boiler, a built-in coat cupboard, and access to the loft.
The lounge enjoys a superb view over the garden towards the town centre, and has a feature raised firebox (with overmantel and marble hearth.) There is a superb kitchen/dining/family room with space for a sofa and table and chairs, Karndean flooring, and both sliding and double doors giving an attractive outlook over the terrace and garden. The kitchen comprises an excellent range of contemporary kitchen units, quartz work surfaces, breakfast bar, 1.5 bowl stainless steel sink, Neff ‘slide & hide’ oven, Neff grill/oven, Neff induction hob, and integrated fridge, freezer and dishwasher.
There is also a spacious utility room with work surfaces, ceramic sink, space for white goods, quality flooring, door to outside and door to a cloakroom.
Bedroom 1 has fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room, bedroom 2 has fitted wardrobes, bedroom 3 is a smaller double room, and there is a family bath/shower room.
A tarmac driveway provides space for several vehicles, and the front of the former garage is now a store (with up-and-over door.) The front garden has established shrubs, trellising, a stone stack wall and mixed hedges, and there is a side gate to a bin storage area.
The rear garden is an outstanding feature, being enclosed by high mixed hedges, with a large Indian sandstone entertaining terrace and steps down to the lawn. It includes colourful, well stocked borders, a pond, 3 sheds, a garden storage area, a further paved terrace, a mature oak tree and a younger maple.
