2 bedroom bungalow for sale

A very well situated extended 2 bedroom detached bungalow located in the heart of this Chalke Valley village, but in need of cosmetic updating.

Beechcroft was built by the current owner and therefore has never been on the market before. It has been well thought out and it has been extended to the rear and side, but could be extended further subject to obtaining the necessary permissions. Located on the western edge of the village there is a good plot on all sides in which the property is centrally located. The accommodation comprises a good sized sitting room with an extension to the rear with patio doors leading out to the rear garden. There are 2 bedrooms on the eastern end of the property and a family bathroom. The kitchen is fitted with integrated appliances together with a separate utility room with door to outside. It is anticipated that people may knock the utility room into the kitchen to create a slightly larger room. There is also a separate dining room which could be used as an extension of the sitting room or indeed a snug or 3rd bedroom. There is aluminium double glazed window and oil fired central heating via a Grant boiler located in the utility room. The gardens are a particular feature as the vendor very much enjoyed her garden which is evident with the array of flower borders and mature shrubs and plants throughout. There is a useful off road parking area to the front of the property which is included in the title and the main access to the house is to the side, but a new drive is being put in with access to the single garage and a fence will be erected to delineate the boundary with next door. (The current owners’ daughter and son-in-law live next door).

The property is situated in the popular and convenient village of Homington which forms an administrative parish with Coombe Bissett where there is a shop and post office, school, village hall, tennis courts and cricket ground.  There are numerous walks on the doorstep including across Homington Down and Homington is surrounded by rolling chalk downlands and tree lined river banks with the scenery being beautiful and varied.    The cathedral city of Salisbury has an extensive range of educational, recreational, leisure and shopping facilities which combine with a twice weekly market, in addition to a mainline railway station with regular services to Waterloo.  Salisbury also has a cinema, a playhouse, Arts Centre and hosts an International Arts Festival in addition to the Chalke Valley History Festival.  There are a number of schools including boys and girls grammar schools and state schools, together with Chafyn Grove, the Cathedral School and Godolphin with Sandroyd, Sherborne, Bryanston and Canford being further afield.
