4 bedroom detached house

A fabulous family house with a most delightful garden and land, tucked away on the edge of the popular and sought-after market town of Beaminster.

THE PROPERTY
Tucked away a stone's throw from the centre of the incredibly popular market town of Beaminster, first glimpses of Cedar House are most impressive with its pretty timber framed façade constructed of Cedar shingle-hung elevations under a tiled roof. The property was cleverly built by a local builder in 1965 taking full advantage of the fantastic views and idyllic location. In 2008 the property underwent a fastidious program of works, including highly efficient insulation with additional extensive works undertaken to further develop the gardens and outbuildings. It is now immaculately presented but still offers scope to further extend and improve.
On first entering the property there is a real sense of light, space and charm with a fantastic entrance hall leading through to the inner hall which has doors to the cloakroom and to the principal rooms on the ground floor. On one side is the study which is fitted with very pretty floor to ceiling oak bookshelves, and the fabulous sitting room which is a very well-proportioned room with a multi-fuel burner and doors into to the dining room. There is also a garden room which has French windows leading out to the garden with plenty of areas ideal for al fresco dining.
The family kitchen is a very good size with plenty of room for a breakfast/dining table and incorporating a large range of bespoke oak units under polished granite work surfaces, with a double Belfast sink, tiled floor, and a door leading through to the utility/boot room.
The principal bedrooms are situated on the first floor, with a lovely and light landing, which includes a fabulous master bedroom boasting wonderful views over the garden and countryside beyond. There is another guest bedroom which also has an en suite shower room, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom. This floor is ideally suited to accommodate most family's needs.

The real surprise however is the magnificent and very sizeable garden, a utopia for children, dogs and other animals. To the front of the property is a large tarmac parking area with a double garage and drive continuing round to the side of the house, past a further single garage, to the land forming a parkland garden of about 1.5 acres with two machinery stores, pond, extensive specimen trees, and wildflower garden with a stream on the southerly boundary. Incredible formal gardens lie immediately behind the house integrated by very attractive mature hedging. Adjacent to the house is a lawned garden with a further herbaceous garden and kitchen garden which contains a potting shed, greenhouse, garden store and fruit cage and with a range of timber workshops on one side. For a village house, this garden is quite simply 'as good as it gets' and extends to approximately 2.5 acres (0.97 hectares.)

LOCATION
Cedar House is on the south eastern edge of Beaminster, bordering open countryside. Beaminster is justifiably one of the most sought-after towns in the area. This vibrant, attractive market town has an excellent range of facilities including a butcher, baker, post office, chemist, hardware store, convenience stores, greengrocers, two doctors' surgeries, veterinary surgery, independent gift and tea shops, restaurants, public houses, hotel and leisure facilities. There is a wide variety of clubs and societies to choose from and Beaminster Festival, an annual event, hosts local and national artists, writers and musicians. Nestled in the countryside surrounded by hills, woodland and rolling pasture, much of it designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it is a short walk to nearby footpaths and a vast network of routes. The Georgian town of Bridport and the coast at West Bay are within 20 minutes' drive and Crewkerne with a main line railway service to London Waterloo is approximately 7 miles, both with a further range of facilities and supermarkets, including Waitrose.
