Description

A new build bungalow, from 2023, with a dining room extension completed since occupation. Set back in a quiet road in this well regarded village, the house is immaculately presented with a tended garden to the rear.

The Property - A rare new build detached bungalow with a recent extension giving a lovely kitchen with new dining area to the rear. The spacious reception room has French doors to the patio area and the level lawn beyond and the great addition of a wood burning fire in the corner as a feature.

The principal bedroom has a square bay window to the front, built in wardrobes and an en suite shower room. The second bedroom is an equal sized double bedroom with built in wardrobes and the third bedroom is used as a study and is adjacent to the kitchen. The family bathroom has a bath with shower over.

A great addition to the new build house was a separate summer house, set behind and away from the garage, giving excellent further outside entertaining or office space.

A wide entrance hall leads to the three bedrooms, spacious reception room and the new kitchen / dining room. Lovely vistas of the garden from the reception and dining rooms. This house is located in the quieter rear part of the development and gives a driveway and garage as well as the recently added Summer House.

Outside - To the front is a pretty front garden with a side driveway offering parking and leads to the single garage, with a personal door to the garden. This links well with the garden side of the house and sits well adjacent to the Summer House. The lawns are level and the flower beds are maturing well already. Nearer the house is a patio area for al fresco entertaining in the summer.

Situation - Fontmell Magna is a charming North Dorset village some four miles south of Shaftesbury. The village has an excellent community, village hall, primary school, church, pub and village shop and there are some amazing views over the dramatic surrounding countryside. There is some fantastic walking and riding countryside in the immediate area. There are good road links to Gillingham for rail services to London Waterloo and the A303 is also accessed just north of Shaftesbury.

Directions -

Services - Mains water and electricity are connected. Air Source Heat Pump for underfloor heating and the hot water. A development treatment plant is run and looked after by Wessex Water.

Material Information - Standard, superfast & ultrafast broadband is available.
