A chance to purchase a delightful detached bungalow that offers comfortable living space for you to make your own. Internally, the bungalow provides bright and roomy accommodation with three double bedrooms, and is presented to the market with no onward chain. It is situated in a small quiet cul de sac of other similar properties and within an easy walking distance to the centre of this popular and well served Dorset village. Marnhull boasts two stores with post office, village hall and recreational grounds, which hosts a variety of events, doctor surgery with pharmacy, two primary schools and public houses as well as three churches.

The large kitchen/dining room has plenty of storage units and space for appliances, as well as enough room for a dining table and chairs and is perfect for family meals or entertaining friends. The sitting room enjoys a double outlook and has an open fireplace that when lit, creates a warm and cosy atmosphere on those chilly autumn and winter evenings. This well proportioned home also provides the opportunity to develop and extend the garage to the side into additional accommodation for a dependent relative or young adult that has yet to fly the nest, but wanting a bit of independence or maybe to provide an income with Airbnb.

The bungalow sits in about 0.2 of an acre plot with plenty of parking and private and sunny gardens that you can landscape to your own design. From the front garden there are some lovely distant rural views and a great place to sit and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

Whilst the property provides comfortable accommodation, there is the potential to enhance and add your own personal touch and a canvas for your creativity to flourish.

Properties in this close are rarely available, therefore an early viewing is strongly urged to avoid missing out on this great chance of owning a home in this desirable and sought after area.
