Barwood House is situated on the favoured Milldown Road, it occupies a delightful site on the western fringe of Blandford about half a mile from the town centre, close to all amenities including schools for all ages, hospital, library and the town shopping centre.

The house is set well back from the road which it fronts, and is screened by a mature boundary hedging and trees. Built in the mid 1930's of brick faced elevations under tiled roofs the house is both spacious and well proportioned, it offers a versatile layout on both ground and first floors.

The current owners have during their occupancy totally transformed the layout and it is now offered for sale in superb condition with a fabulous sate of the art contemporary interior, infinitively suitable to a cross section of buyers.

The impressive front entrance and reception hall sets the scene, high gloss floor tiles continue seamlessly into the conservatory and the magnificent kitchen/dining room.

The drawing room leads from it on one side and the less formal family sitting room is accessed from the kitchen.

A second door at the front of the house leads into a lobby and into a fifth bedroom and contemporary and spacious en-suite (there is great potential here to create a totally self contained annexe, if required)

The superb kitchen/dining room is of particular note; a fabulous double aspect living space which looks out over both the front and back gardens and sun terrace.
