Vale View, Marshwood, Dorset

A very spacious and well-maintained detached bungalow set on a generous plot of more than one third of an acre. The bungalow has been extended to provide a fabulous large kitchen/dining/living room at the back with lovely views across the garden. In addition, there is a pretty living room at the front, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a spacious hallway, utility room and cloakroom. The property is well presented with quality wooden flooring throughout the hall and living room, double glazed windows and doors, uPVC soffits and fascias. A gated driveway opens to extensive parking, which leads to a double garage behind the bungalow. There is a level front garden from where there is a lovely view towards the Marshwood Vale.
Most of the garden lies at the back of the house and is west facing, ideal for afternoon/evening barbeques and relaxing in the sunshine. The garden is mainly level and attractively landscaped with a patio seating area next to the property and a path that leads down the garden to the summer house and beyond, where there is a large vegetable and fruit garden.

Marshwood is a small village situated on the edge of the Marshwood Vale in West Dorset. It boasts a Primary School in the Woodroffe Pyramid, a Church and a Garage offering servicing, repairs and MOTs. Most famously, the Bottle Inn at Marshwood plays host the World Nettle Eating Championships. Although the pub has been closed for some time, it is currently being renovated and it is hoped that it will open in the winter of 2024. The Jurassic coast at Lyme Regis is just under 8 miles to the south and the nearest towns are Axminster (6.5miles), Beaminster (7.5miles) and Crewkerne (8.4 miles).
