A well planned bungalow in an exceptional position overlooking the water meadows adjoining the river Stour. The property may benefit from some updating.
The Dwelling - Foriers is a rarely combined bungalow with annexe, which itself incorporates two garages, kitchen, shower room and a loft style bedroom in addition to its own section of garden. The whole, combined being some 2,300sqft (213sqm), is an enticing set up with scope for various different living arrangements. Positioned in a quiet enclave of Sturminster Newton, near St Mary's Church, it also has the advantage of country views over the meadows towards the River Stour. The principal rooms all have the rear garden views, the garden being accessed separately via the conservatory. Being at the end of Penny Street, effectively a cul de sac, this house affords a very quiet location whilst being in the town. The house requires a degree of modernisation with scope to improve the current layout or further adapt to ones needs.
Accommodation - See Floor Plan.
Outside - Parking is to the front of the house on a gravel drive, for 3 cars with 2 integral garages, one off the driveway and one on Penny Street. To the rear of the house is the gently sloping garden bordering meadow fields beyond. The gardens are currently divided with a fence with separate access for each garden should the separation remain. The main garden has a long, level terrace sitting up above the main lawned garden below. Steps lead up to the larger garden room or enclosed Loggia linking back to the reception room. A wonderful setting on the edge of town.
Situation - Sturminster Newton is a traditional market town. The town has a range of shops including traditional butchers and delicatessen, supermarket, cafes, pub, library, doctor and dental practices, health centre, churches and schools. The town also has an exceptional and active arts centre which provides a wide range of music, theatre and other events, a recreation ground and the surrounding area has some fantastic walking countryside.
