Guide price £550,000

A large detached bungalow with three double bedrooms, two reception rooms, and a private south-facing rear garden. A desirable location with exciting potential as a complete refurbishment is required.

This extremely spacious, well-planned, detached quality bungalow enjoys a sought-after, quiet location and has been well-maintained. It also offers the exciting potential for a new owner to put their own stamp on it. With updating, you could certainly make this into a very special home.

The feature outside arched entrance porch and UPVC front entrance door lead you into an impressively spacious reception hall, where you can find a double-door cloak storage cupboard. There is also a cloakroom with a wash basin and low-flush WC.

Glazed wall panels provide borrowed light, and a glazed door leads into the good-sized square living room. It has a bay window to the front and two further obscure glass windows to the side, ensuring this is a light and bright living space. The focal point of this room is the Purbeck stone fireplace.

Sliding glazed doors open into the separate dining room, which has aluminium-framed sliding patio doors out to the UPVC double-glazed sun lounge.

The sun lounge is perfect for sitting and admiring the south-facing private rear garden. The dining room has a head-height glass side window to provide extra light. A glazed door from the dining room leads into the spacious kitchen.

The good-sized kitchen has a window overlooking the rear garden and a double-glazed rear entrance door. It also has a larder storage cupboard, a pantry, a range of floor and wall units with worktops, appliance space for a washing machine, dishwasher, upright fridge freezer, and cooker, and a return glazed door to the reception hall.

The reception hall leads into an inner hall off which you can find three good-sized double bedrooms. The principal bedroom has a window to the front aspect. Bedroom two has a window overlooking the rear garden. Bedroom three has a recessed double-door wardrobe and window to the front.

The main bathroom services all the bedrooms. It has tiled walls, a bath, a separate shower cubicle, a pedestal wash and basin, a low-flush WC, and an obscure glass double-glazed window.

Outside, the front of the bungalow benefits from a sweeping in and out driveway, which provides extensive off-road parking. A detached single garage and adjoining carport link the garage and the bungalow; both have matching remote-controlled up-and-over doors. The garage also has two side entrance doors. The carport is open to the rear, flowing into a greenhouse-type area with a connecting door to the rear garden. Both the garage and the carport have power and light.

The rear garden is a particular feature of this bungalow. It enjoys a southerly aspect and is secluded. The garden is generous, with paved patio areas and pathways and two lawns interspersed with flower and heather beds.

The bungalow has easy access to Ferndown town centre and the nearby nature reserves and its many woodland walks, highly commended schools and easy access routes to both Bournemouth and neighbouring market towns of Ringwood and Wimborne. Ferndown town centre has an excellent range of shopping, leisure and recreational facilities including the M&S Food Hall, leisure and fitness centre and theatre/social centre. For the keen golfer, several premier golf clubs are only a short drive away.
