A WONDERFUL C17th FARMHOUSE WHERE TRADITIONAL CHARACTER AND CONTEMPROARY STYLE COMBINE IN A FABULOUS FAMILY HOME.

This charming 17th century farmhouse has been well refurbished to create a quite exceptional family home. Located in a secluded spot within walking distance of Wimborne town centre; the current owners have introduced a sparkling contemporary style to compliment the wonderful character of the original period house with all its nooks and crannies, beams and fireplaces. Extending to about 2,700 sq/ft the accommodation comprises an excellent arrangement of well-proportioned reception rooms including a sitting room with an inglenook fireplace, a family snug, a generous dining room perfect for entertaining and striking hand-built kitchen with a walk-in larder. A study, super utility/boot room and cloakroom/downstairs shower complete the ground floor, and upstairs there five good bedrooms and two bathrooms. The neat arrangement of bathrooms and a second staircase give great flexibility and the possibility of creating an annexe. Period features, modern heating, the inglenook and wood burner all combine to create a great atmosphere in this fantastic family home where everyone can have their space.

Although you are only a stones’ throw from the centre of town, the long gravel drive and almost ½ an acre of enclosed mature garden gives a lovely feeling of privacy and seclusion. Attractively landscaped, large lawns to the back and front are surrounded by mature borders with many specimen trees and shrubs, and in a place where it catches the last of the evening sun there is a durable low maintenance deck with the option of a hot tub. To one side of the front garden the drive opens on to a gravel parking area in front of a good range of outbuildings including a carport, garage and a couple of workshops which might become an office or even a small annexe (subject to planning).

Historic and vibrant Wimborne provides the perfect location for Greenclose Farmhouse. The bustling town square with its cafes, restaurants, cinema and shops (including Waitrose) is virtually on the doorstep. And in contrast a short walk down the drive and across the main road, will bring you on to a lovely riverside walk. Wimborne lies on the southern tip of the Cranborne Chase and Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and this fine rolling countryside provides great opportunities for walking, riding, cycling. And in under an hour you can be enjoying water sports in Poole Harbour, Studland Bay and along Dorset’s renowned Jurassic coastline.

Communication links from Wimborne are excellent, Poole, Bournemouth and Ferndown are all easily commutable and quick links onto the A31/M27 and the A303/M3 make the drive to Southampton and Portsmouth, and onto London quite straight forward. Poole and Salisbury stations are equally convenient, and both offer regular trains to London Waterloo. This area has also become popular because of its wide selection of schools at all levels. As well as primary and state secondary schools in Wimborne, Poole and Parkstone both offer grammar schools, and independent schools nearby include Canford, Bryanston, Clayesmore and Milton Abbey; and prep schools include Castle Court, Dumpton, Hanford and Sandroyd.
