Detached bungalow for sale in Marshwood, Bridport DT6

A beautifully presented three double bedroom bungalow set on the edge of the Marshwood Vale. The property features a 26 foot kitchen/family room, double garage and level, well tended gardens in the region of 0.3 acres.

2 Vale View is a truly superb, detached bungalow offering all the advantages one might think of when looking for single storey living. The property has been extensively remodelled by the current seller since purchasing the bungalow in 2011. This includes the addition of a sizable kitchen and utility extension to the rear elevation. The bungalow has well balanced, spacious accommodation and scope for a potential loft conversion, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.

The kitchen area has a wide range of classic cream fronted units, wooden work surfacing and a variety of integrated appliances. There is ample space for a sizable dining table and an informal seating area to enjoy the viewings out over the garden.
