3 Bed Detached House For Sale

This superior detached chalet style residence is pleasantly situated in the village of Harmans Cross. The house has undergone substantial refurbishment and offers stylish presentation with excellent views of the Purbeck Hills. Ideal for family living and retirement, the living spaces are generously proportioned and the attractive gardens are a particular feature designed for private, relaxed outdoor living all year round.  

The property is thought to have been built during the late 1930s, although substantially altered and renovated in recent years by the current owners, and has cement rendered external elevations under a concrete tiled roof. An array of solar panels have been added supplying energy to the home and also generating a valuable annual income. This year, the current owners received a £450 rebate in addition to meeting the property's energy needs.
