An attractive and well-presented four bedroom detached bungalow, situated in the popular village of Keinton Mandeville, tucked away down a no through lane, enjoying a generous south-facing plot with beautifully maintained gardens, single garage and driveway.

To the side of the property is a conservatory, providing an additional reception space with pleasant views over the gardens, perfect for enjoying the sunny aspect throughout the day.

The fruit cage includes loganberries, blackcurrants and a redcurrant. There is also a greenhouse, pond and useful outbuilding. The wild flower meadow incudes native daffodils and bluebells, cowslips, primroses, fritillaries, wild garlic and pyramidal orchids. The grounds extend to approximately 0.5 of an acre, offering a wonderful sense of space and privacy. To the front, there is a driveway providing ample off-road parking and access to a single garage. There is also access through double gates to additional parking and the back garden.

Identity Verification
To ensure full compliance with current legal requirements, all buyers are required to verify their identity and risk status in line with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations before we can formally proceed with the sale. This process includes a series of checks covering identity verification, politically exposed person (PEP) screening, and AML risk assessment for each individual named as a purchaser. In addition, for best practice, we are required to obtain proof of funds and where necessary, to carry out checks on the source of funds being used for the purchase. These checks are mandatory and must be completed regardless of whether the purchase is mortgage-funded, cash, or part of a related transaction. A disbursement of £49 per individual (or £75 per director for limited company purchases) is payable to cover all aspects of this compliance process. This fee represents the full cost of conducting the required checks and verifications. You will receive a secure payment link and full instructions directly from our compliance partner, Guild365, who carry out these checks on our behalf.
