Chard Street, Thorncombe, Dorset

A spacious detached bungalow situated in the heart of this thriving village and within a short level walk of the shop, village hall and Church. There are very few bungalows in the village this is one of only 4. The property is now in need of modernisation but offers great space comprising, three good sized bedrooms, kitchen, shower room, spacious hallway and large living/dining room. There is a timber framed conservatory (which needs replacing) which adjoins the kitchen. This offers potential to build an extension where the conservatory currently sits (subject to consents) which would create a lovely, large kitchen/dining room. Windows are all double glazed and mainly in good condition. The property is currently heated by means of electric night storage and other electric heaters.
There is an attached garage with electric roller door and driveway parking for several vehicles. There is an area of open plan garden to the front and an enclosed garden at the back. The property also owns a track beside the house that leads to a paddock belonging to a neighbouring property. The track has to be kept clear but is useful for access into the back garden with machinery or large garden objects.

The property offers a great opportunity for a new owner to create their own mark on this bungalow, within a fantastic community.
