Wood Lane, Hinton St. Mary, Sturminster Newton

A wonderfully positioned bungalow, with scope to improve, situated within generous gardens and driveway.

The Bungalow sits in a wonderful position on the edge of Hinton St Mary giving south and west views over neighbouring fields and the Blackmore Vale

Built of bricks with a tiled roof, the house has been in the same ownership for many years and although well maintained over those 35 years, there is scope for improvement and possible extensions; subject to the usual consents.

A double glazed storm porch is atop a path from the parking area. The front door then enters to the main corridor with the mainly west facing sitting room to the left. An open fire, set in stone surround currently with an electric fire, is the central feature whilst picture windows take advantage of the views. A single sliding glazed door then lead to the dining or further living area and kitchen beyond, with the conservatory off to the side. The conservatory has picture windows giving a mainly westerly aspect over the garden and beyond. Glazed French doors give access to a stone terraced area.

The kitchen has a range of wall and floor units and space for the usual appliances with a large walk in larder cupboard next to the separate utility room that acts as a boot room with access to the rear.

Through the kitchen links back to the corridor leading to the bedrooms. Bedroom 1 is south east facing with good wall space for wardrobes, and has an en suite WC with wash hand basin. Two further bedrooms are at the end of the house, with a family bathroom and a separate WC

Situation - The property is situated on the edge of the village of Hinton St. Mary which is a manorial village in a conservation area having a fine manor house, church and pub.
