About the property

A SPACIOUS & VERSATILE THREE BEDROOM BUNGALOW WITH TWO RECEPTIONS & CONSERVATORY, SET IN A GENEROUS PLOT WITH GARAGE & DRIVEWAY

The village of Spetisbury takes its name from the Old English words speoht (woodpecker) and byrig (a fort). It lies between the River Stour and the now disused Blandford to Poole railway. The North Dorset Trailway now runs for approximately 2.5 miles along a flat, surfaced, 2-metre wide track suitable for horses, bicycles and walkers. The Spetisbury section starts at the East end of the village on Louse Lane, and passes alongside the Iron Age hill fort at Spetisbury Rings and the remains of Spetisbury Halt Railway Station. This section ends just short of the "Tesco" roundabout on the outskirts of Blandford Forum.

Spetisbury benefits from a Parish Church, Village Hall, Primary School, Farm Shop and Café and there are excellent walking/cycling routes including a pleasant circular walk along the river and meadows. Further facilities are available in the nearby Georgian market town of Blandford Forum and there are regular buses to Poole.
