Old Dinton Road, Teffont

A detached bungalow situated on its own in an idyllic elevated rural setting with wonderful far-reaching countryside views, extensive grounds & further potential

Property
An enviably located detached L shaped bungalow built in the mid-1980’s with bradstone external elevations under tiled roofs. The spacious and versatile accommodation would now benefit from some updating but offers a new owner with a marvelous opportunity to improve or even extend it to their own requirements, perhaps altering the layout to take advantage of the magnificent country views at the rear.
The present accommodation comprises a covered entrance porch leading to an entrance hall, a large triple aspect sitting/dining room which has a woodburner and overlooks the front and side gardens. The good-sized kitchen/breakfast room has access to a utility/boot room. There are three double bedrooms as well a fourth single bedroom/office, bathroom and cloakroom. Accessed from both the drive and rear terrace is a light and airy garden room/studio which enjoys a lovely rural outlook and which could be linked to the main living space.

Outside
The extensive grounds amount to around 0.64 of an acre and comprise a gravelled drive provides ample parking and leads to an attached double garage which has scope, with the appropriate consents, to be converted or built over. Leading off the drive on the South side of the property is a gently sloping garden which is mainly laid to lawn with mature hedging, a picket fence and a variety of trees. To the side are fenced paved patio areas leading to a gravelled and paved terrace at the rear of the property from which to enjoy the far-reaching country views.
Steps lead down from the terrace to a level area of lawn with vegetable beds and a wooden summer house. Beyond the garden is a small paddock with a field gate leading to the restricted by-way, an orchard area with a mix of fruit trees, covered wooden seating, a greenhouse and a wooden outbuilding with a stable and storage.
