Pictures: Inside the £1.2 million property near Wimborne

In a popular village in Cranborne Chase, a lovely family chalet bungalow has gone on sale - and proves there is always more than meets the eye.

The property is on the market for the first time in 50 years, and it is only a matter of time until this Linden Grove property is snapped up. 

The four bedroom and three bathroom house is “exceptionally spacious”, and has been described as having a “versatile layout” that could be arranged to suit a range of needs.

It boasts open plan living, with three main reception rooms all linked by bi-fold doors to provide a huge space, and a contemporary oak framed extension with an open plan kitchen, living and dining space.

And things get even more impressive once you get outside into the rear garden.

The home boasts an “exceptional garden” that extends to about 1.16 acres, and homes a heated swimming pool- undoubtedly one of its most eye-catching features.

There is a chalet housing the heat exchanger, electric heater and filtration equipment, and a large paved terrace overlooking the pool which has become the perfect spot for summer dining.

From the terrace, a path and lawn continues down to a kitchen garden with one of three greenhouses, beyond which the garden opens out into a large open area.

The property is on the market through Savills.
