A rare opportunity to purchase a two bedroom detached house situated in a sought after road with far reaching views across the Blackmore Vale. Purchased by the current owner in 2015, the property has been tastefully refurbished over the years to create an individual home with a number of appealing features. There are some areas requiring completion, allowing the new owners to add their personal touch and finish.

The front door opens to an enclosed porch, which leads into a spacious entrance hall. To your left there is the convenience of a downstairs shower room, while to your right double doors open to a vast sitting/dining room featuring an attractive fireplace as its centrepiece. The kitchen is fitted with a range of shaker style base units, ample work surface, integrated dishwasher and eye level oven. Moving upstairs there are two light and airy double bedrooms and a stylish modern bathroom. Stepping outside, the property is positioned on a generous plot with a long driveway providing off road parking. The front garden enjoys a high degree of seclusion enclosed by mature hedging. The rear garden has a large paved patio ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining. The remainder of the garden is laid to lawn with a timber decked terrace in the far corner topped with a pergola. A former garage provides useful storage or potential workshop.
