Crawford Park, Spetisbury, Blandford Forum, DT11 9DZ

GREAT REFURBISHMENT OPPORTUNITY WITH A GENEROUS GARDEN AND FINE VIEW.

To Be Sold By Online Traditional Auction (unless sold beforehand or withdrawn); Goldsworth was built in 1971 and has been in the same ownership from new. Although it has been well cared for over the last 50 years it would now benefit from refurbishment and updating, which might include installation of a new kitchen, bathrooms and central heating system. At about 1,550 sq/ft the accommodation comprises a central hall off which there is an L-shaped living room, a kitchen and separate dining room, a study (bed 4), cloakroom, rear porch and utility area. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms (including an ensuite wet room). All the rooms along the front of the house enjoy the fine view and in our opinion Goldsworth is a sensibly priced and manageable project that once complete will be a comfortable home maybe for a family or for retirement, in an extremely popular village.

Outside.

The house was built on a generous elevated plot and the original garden was attractively landscaped and could easily be restored with a little time and effort. Screened behind a high hedge the garden is private and has a tarmac drive leading up to a turning area in front of a Double Garage.

Situation.

Goldsworth is set on the edge of Spetisbury, a popular village about 3 miles south of Blandford Forum with a primary school, busy village hall and a farm shop which includes The Shack, a popular bar and restaurant. It is only a short drive or bus ride into Blandford where the extensive range of amenities includes the usual doctors and dentist surgeries, an M&S food hall, Tesco and Lidl superstores. There are many opportunities for sport and recreation nearby, and a brisk walk or cycle ride takes you back along the Dorset Trailway to Blandford or over the river towards Kingston Lacey and Badbury Rings (National Trust). The village is well located for the commute to Poole, Bournemouth and Ferndown.
