2 Bedroom Bungalow - Detached
A well-presented two bedroom detached bungalow positioned on a generous plot in a secluded location with the benefit of an additional building plot with planning permission within the grounds for a two bedroom bungalow. Council Tax Band: D EPC: E (54)
THE PROPERTY
The property occupies an elevated south-facing position on the southern slopes of Hardown Hill, enjoying far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside and an abundance of natural light throughout. Originally built in the 1930s, the property has been thoughtfully extended and modernised to create a stylish and versatile home, blending period charm with contemporary comfort.
Planning permission has been granted, with works commenced, for the construction of a separate two-bedroom bungalow within the grounds. This offers buyers exceptional flexibility, whether as an annexe for multigenerational living, a holiday let with income potential, a dedicated home office, or a completely independent dwelling.
The heart of the home is a bright kitchen and dining room, fitted with a sleek, contemporary kitchen, quality integrated appliances, and a picture window that perfectly frames the panoramic outlook. The space also benefits from a useful storage cupboard and double patio doors that open directly onto the garden, creating a seamless indoor–outdoor flow ideal for entertaining. A central sitting room with a wood-burning stove provides a cosy focal point and connects to both a sunroom and a garden room, the latter opening directly onto a terrace.
From the entrance lobby, there is a thoughtfully designed utility area with plumbing for appliances and tall fitted storage cupboards, ensuring a practical and well-organised home environment plus space saver stairs leading to loft.
The principal bedroom is positioned to make the most of the glorious views, complemented by a second bedroom and a fully tiled family bathroom with both bath and shower. The attic offers further scope to be converted into additional accommodation, subject to the necessary permissions, making the home highly adaptable for future needs.
Outside, the property benefits from two vehicular entrances, ample parking and a double carport. The gardens are particularly attractive, enclosed by mature trees for privacy and beautifully landscaped with a mix of shrubs, herbaceous planting, and colourful seasonal displays. Mown paths weave around well-stocked borders, encouraging exploration, while to the left of the property there is a level lawn – a wonderful space for children to play or for relaxed summer picnics. To the west, a decked terrace captures the evening sun, while to the south a paved terrace provides the perfect setting for summer entertaining. Within the grounds there is also a timber building with power, currently used as a studio or home office, together with a further large shed for storage.
From the property direct access leads straight onto the National Trust Golden Cap estate, offering direct access to Hardown Hill from Verriotts Lane and superb walks through Langdon Woods, across to Golden Cap and on to Stonebarrow Hill. This unique location provides the rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and doorstep access to one of the most unspoilt stretches of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.
