3 Bed Detached House For Sale

A fabulous detached family home offering versatile accommodation with three generously sized bedrooms, offered for sale with no onward chain and lying on the edge of one of Dorset's smallest towns with views over the Blackmore Vale countryside to the rear. Stalbridge caters well for everyday essentials with an award winning supermarket, family run butchers, post office and dentist. There is also highly rated primary school, community run library and various take away shops and public house. We believe that the property was built in the late 1920s by a local master builder for his own occupation and came into the hands of our selling family in 1953. During their time of ownership, the property has been a very much cherished and enjoyed home and has been exceptionally well maintained and is presented in good order, providing comfortable living with the option to change and update to one's own taste, as and when. This lovely home has an easy to use layout that offers well proportioned, bright accommodation with flexible room usage that will certainly tick the boxes for many potential buyers requirements. A great first time family home or maybe a downsize for one's leisure years. A viewing is an absolute must to truly appreciate this special home, as well as the outside space and location. An early viewing is highly advisable to avoid missing out on the chance to be the next owner.
