The Property

A spacious and light three bedroom detached Woolaway bungalow, built in the late 1960s. The dwelling has undergone a recent programme of redecoration to include new carpets throughout, new kitchen and wet room. The property offers a good size garden backing onto the calk stream to the rear, with a garage in a block of four and parking in front.

Situation

The property sits in a small cul de sac in the picturesque village of Fontmell Magna. It has a lively and active community and excellent local facilities including village hall, a post office/store, well regarded public house (The Fontmell ), parish church and primary school. The Saxon hilltop town of Shaftesbury (5 miles) offers further facilities including supermarkets, Cottage hospital, dentists, doctors' surgery and pharmacy as well as a range of boutique shops, cafes, restaurants, hotels and a local farmers market on a Thursday .The area has excellent communication links with the A350 passing through the village providing easy access to the coastal towns of Poole (22 miles) and Bournemouth (26 miles). The A350 also provides direct access to the A303 to London via the M3 and to the South West. The nearby town of Gillingham (9.5 miles) provides a mainline railway station serving London Waterloo (2 hours) and Exeter St David.

Agents Notes

Woolaway is deemed by most lenders to be non-standard construction and it is therefore highly unlikely to be mortgageable. There is a restrictive covenant "Not to make any structural and/or external alterations or additions to the Dwelling or erect or allow to remain upon the Property any other buildings or structures whether of a permanent or temporary nature on the Property save that this shall not preclude a garden shed or greenhouse in the rear garden having a floor area not exceeding 4.50 square metres or allow any Dwelling on the Property to exceed a single storey in height."
