The Dwelling

This charming detached three-bedroom home enjoys a picturesque setting, backing onto the stunning Blackmore Vale countryside.

Garden

Enjoying a southerly position, the garden is predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed by hedging on one side, offering a private outdoor space. A stone lean-to within the garden provides additional storage, benefiting from power, and is currently used by the vendors for white goods. Two patio areas are thoughtfully positioned to enjoy sunlight throughout the day, with an elevated patio at the rear capturing the evening sun and showcasing beautiful views over the neighbouring countryside.

The driveway, owned by the property, provides ample parking for several cars. A gateway located at the rear of the driveway must remain clear at all times to allow access for the neighbouring landowner.
