3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

A fabulous modern cottage style semi detached home with three double bedrooms, facade clad in natural stone from the local quarry and offering just under a 1000 square feet (92 sq. m) of bright and versatile living space. The property is situated in one of Dorset's smallest towns and enjoys a prime location, just a few strides from the high street, where there is a supermarket, family run butchers and post office. There is also a highly rated primary school, community run library, public house, pharmacy/chemist, dentist surgery and building suppliers.

This delightful property was built in 1998 and has been the loved and enjoyed home of our sellers for the last seven years. During this time it has been well cared for - the boiler was replaced four years ago to a modern and efficient condensing boiler and a new electrical consumer unit installed six years ago. The bathroom and cloakroom have also been updated and a redecoration throughout, prior to new carpets being laid in 2018 (except for the sitting/dining room). The property's L shaped sitting/dining room offers flexibility for setting out furniture and has a fireplace with a coal effect gas burner that adds a touch of warmth and character, creating a cosy ambiance during the colder months. The conservatory, which had a new roof fitted in 2019, provides all year round usage and has a wonderful view of part of the garden. The well-laid-out and generously sized rooms provides ample space for family and friends to gather, creating memories for the future and is the perfect canvas for you to create a space that truly feels like home.

Outside, there is parking for two cars in the double garage and the easy-to-maintain cottage-style garden, exudes a mystical atmosphere that is sure to enchant you and gives you your own outdoor sanctuary.

An early viewing is recommended as properties like this, in such a handy location, hardly ever come up for sale - could this be the one you have been searching for?
