A well positioned bungalow on the edge of the town with stunning views over and beyond the meadows towards the famous Sturminster Mill.

The Property

Lexden gives a wide entrance hall from the covered porch with the sitting room off to the left, the kitchen easily accessed directly and the bedrooms to the right. The sitting room has a lovely bay window with terrific views over the meadows towards Sturminster Mill. A cosy open fire with hearth is to the front half thereby giving a a good sitting area. To the rear is an extended conservatory which links the sitting room to the kitchen and therefore adds greatly to the living areas of the house. The kitchen is open to the conservatory and is lined with floor and wall units and the usual appliances with a hatch to the rear part of the sitting room. Back to the hallway (with loft access via ladder) takes you to the three bedrooms. The rear double bedroom has an en suite shower room whilst there is a family bathroom adjacent the two larger double bedrooms. The house is double glazed throughout.

Outside

The house affords wonderful and uninterrupted views towards Sturminster Mill, a heritage mill on the River Stour and still in occasional use. Set back from the lane is a driveway for 2 cars leading to the garage and an enclosed level front lawn bordered by flower beds and a path to the covered front door and beyond to the side and rear access. To the back is a large patio and mature garden off the conservatory and kitchen with a good degree of privacy and ease of maintenance in mind.

There are many walks directly from the house, including a footpath to Church Lane into town, across Bridge Street, and also links to the Stour Valley Way and Hardy Way via the recreation ground.
