Introduction

Dumbledore occupies a wonderful position in the sought-after village of Chedington, set within approximately 0.63 acres of mature gardens and grounds. Enjoying an elevated setting with views across the surrounding countryside towards distant hills, this detached bungalow presents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a property with significant potential in a peaceful rural location.

Now requiring updating and refurbishment, the property offers purchasers the chance to create a home tailored to their own requirements whilst benefiting from a generous plot, useful outbuildings and a highly attractive setting.

The Property

Extending to approximately 1,175 sq ft, Dumbledore is a detached bungalow offering well-proportioned accommodation with excellent potential for modernisation and enhancement.

The property enjoys a pleasant outlook over its gardens from many of the principal rooms, with the sitting/dining room and garden room particularly taking advantage of the surrounding setting. The existing accommodation provides comfortable single-storey living and includes three bedrooms, whilst the layout offers scope for reconfiguration and improvement, subject to any necessary consents.

Although the bungalow would now benefit from a programme of updating, it provides an excellent opportunity for purchasers seeking a project in an attractive village location. The combination of a substantial plot, countryside views and detached outbuildings creates considerable potential to add value and create a distinctive Dorset home.

Outside

A particular feature of the property is the size of the grounds, extending to approximately 0.63 acres. Predominantly laid to lawn, the gardens surround the bungalow and provide a wonderful sense of space, privacy and seclusion.

Mature trees, shrubs and established planting create an attractive setting, whilst the elevated position affords views across the surrounding countryside and towards the hills beyond. The grounds offer ample opportunity for gardening, recreation or further landscaping, depending on a purchaser's requirements.

A substantial detached garage provides excellent storage and parking facilities, complemented by a useful workshop/outbuilding with potential for a variety of uses. The driveway and extensive outside space further add to the appeal of this property.

Dumbledore offers a rare opportunity to acquire a detached bungalow on a sizeable plot in a desirable West Dorset village, with the benefit of outstanding potential and attractive rural views.
