3 bed detached bungalow for sale

Redbridge Road, Crossways, Dorchester DT2

Detached 1930s bungalow set within two acres of gardens, paddocks, and mature woodland, with far-reaching views across rolling countryside towards the Purbeck Hills.

The Property

A detached 1930s brick-built bungalow offering flexible accommodation, set within approximately two acres of gardens, paddocks, and mature pine woodland. Enjoying a secluded position and approached via a private driveway, the property boasts enviable, far-reaching southerly views across rolling countryside towards the Purbeck Hills beyond.

In addition to the main residence, the property benefits from garaging, small stables adjoining the paddocks, and a timber summer house, all set within the curtilage.

The bungalow has been recently renovated throughout and is presented in a clean, neutral palette. The accommodation comprises three double bedrooms, with further potential to extend by converting the spacious loft, subject to the necessary planning consents.

The sitting room features an open fireplace and French doors leading onto a paved terrace, creating a cosy space with direct access to the outdoors. The dining room, fitted with a wood-burning stove, provides a warm and inviting area for family meals and flows naturally into the open-plan kitchen/breakfast space. Late-afternoon sunlight streams through the west-facing bay window, enhancing the room’s bright and welcoming atmosphere. The contemporary kitchen is well appointed with a built-in induction hob, electric oven with extractor hood, ample storage, and space for a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and washing machine.

There are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, two of which benefit from attractive bay windows, together with a family bathroom fitted with a bathtub.

Outside

Two paddocks are situated to the south of the property, separated by gated access and enjoying wonderful open views across the surrounding countryside. Timber stables are positioned at the upper end of the paddocks, with a separate access gate providing direct access onto Redbridge Road.

To the south-east of the property lies an area of predominantly mature pine woodland, creating a peaceful and secluded environment with attractive glimpses of the wider landscape. Within the woodland is a concrete platform, previously utilised as a caravan base.

The gardens are deer-fenced and include a level area ideal for vegetable growing, should one wish, along with a further garden area featuring an elevated summer house from which to enjoy the views.

Electric iroko gates open onto a private tarmac driveway, leading to a generous parking and turning area. This is complemented by a double garage, an additional single garage, and a large timber shed
