White Cliff Gardens, Blandford Forum, DT11

AN IMMACULATELY REFURBISHED DETACHED BUNGALOW IN A PERFECT LOCATION CLOSE TO THE TOWN CENTRE. We doubt there is a better location for a retirement property in Blandford, and over the last few years this very attractive detached bungalow has been cleverly and comprehensively refurbished. Immaculately presented, the accommodation has a flexible layout and at around 1,800 sq ft it currently comprises two large reception rooms, a very smart recently refitted kitchen/breakfast room, two good bedrooms with plenty of storage and a shower room. And it would be a simple matter to add an ensuite shower or reinstate a 3rd bedroom within the existing footprint. Recent improvements to the property have included new double glazing, renewal of all the services (rewiring, plumbing and a new gas fired heating system) within the last four years and laying of new floors throughout. Low maintenance, easy management and good mobility access all contribute to making this this fabulous bungalow a perfect opportunity for anyone to retire in a perfect location and enjoy the lovely gardens our client has created. The property has generous gardens to the front and rear, and like the rest of the bungalow they are nicely laid out and immaculately well kept. To the side of the front lawn a newly paved drive provides plenty of parking and a path leads up to the front entrance and around the bungalow into the secure private back garden which is equally well kept with a large lawn surrounded by colourful well stocked borders. An excellent range of outbuildings includes a secure insulated workshop with mains power and light, various other garden stores, an outside WC and a detached garage with an electric roller door. White Cliff Gardens is a quiet cul-de-sac in an excellent location just a stones' throw from the centre of Blandford Forum and within walking distance of the shops, doctor's surgery and dentist, and although you are close to the centre of town there is easy access out to the Milldown recreation area and lovely surrounding countryside, much of which is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) is easy. A popular market town, Blandford is famed for its classic architecture, bustling market square and one of the finest Georgian churches outside London, and there are services and amenities for every one's day to day needs including an M&S Food Hall and Tesco and Lidl superstores. There are lots of good opportunities for sport and recreation in the area. Kingston Lacy & Badbury Rings (National Trust), the New Forest and Cranborne Chase are all nearby, as well as sailing and water sports in Poole Harbour and Studland Bay, and Dorset's renowned Jurassic coastline is less than 45 minutes away by car. Communication links are excellent. Within ½ hour you can be in the county town of Dorchester, historic Shaftesbury or the pretty Abbey town of Sherborne. The commute to Poole, Bournemouth and Ferndown is straight forward and easy access onto the A31 provides a quick link to the M27 for Southampton and Portsmouth, and the M3 up to London. Poole and Salisbury stations have regular trains to London (Waterloo about 2 hrs), and Bournemouth and Southampton airports are easily accessible. All mains services are available at the property. Gas fired radiator central heating (new boiler 2020). Good Broadband.
