2 Longham Farm Close offers a unique lifestyle opportunity combining the best of luxurious modern accommodation with an idyllic rural setting that gives you over an acre of beautiful Dorset countryside to call your own.
Approached via a private road owned by the property and offering access to just four homes designed and built in 2007 on this stylish barn/mews inspired development this property is the premier plot on the site and includes an expansive garden plot with gated access from the private road. With grounds spanning over an acre there is an opportunity for grazing or a small equestrian setting. The majority of the plot is designated as ‘green belt’ preventing development and preserving the green and pleasant views from the property. There is however a convenient area that could be used to build stables, additional garaging or a large domestic workshop.
Situated in a corner of the cul de sac this house offers plenty of kerb appeal and a generous driveway with carport over provides parking for up to six vehicles and access to the detached double garage behind.
Pleasantly landscaped verges lead up to the front door which opens into a stunning double height space with a feature two storey window that allows natural light to flood the spacious hallway.
The ground floor provides a generous and flexible layout with an elegant kitchen/diner as the hub of the family home. The kitchen is set out with plenty of cupboard space to foot and eye level, quality integrated appliances and granite worktops throughout the kitchen workspace and peninsula island unit.
The kitchen opens into the dining area, where there is ample room for a table to seat at least six. There are gorgeous views through the expansive patio doors out onto a stylish landscaped patio ideal for al fresco entertaining.
Next to the kitchen you find the main reception room. For relaxing alone or gathering with friends this large, light and airy living room measuring over 22ft is the perfect space. The clever layout provides a cosy feel for family nights in, but also offers a lovely opportunity for entertaining friends and family with large patio doors leading out onto the patio and linking back through into the adjacent kitchen/dining space from the patio.
There are two further rooms on the ground floor that could be used in a variety of ways to suit the buyer; an additional ‘snug’, home office, music room, library, hobby room, or games room are all very possible in this versatile and spacious home.
A useful utility room with side access into the car port and a downstairs W/C complete the ground floor.
The first floor of the property is accessed via a half turn staircase framed by an impressive mitred window that stretches the full height of the property. At the top of the stairs there is a spacious landing with mezzanine balcony overlooking the front door.
The main bedroom is generously sized and offers far reaching views over the gardens and beyond. A short corridor lined with fitted wardrobes leads into a bright and spacious en-suite bathroom with a bath with shower over, w/c and hand basin all stylishly fitted to a luxury standard.
Bedroom two is again a beautifully appointed double sized room with dual aspect windows and an en-suite shower room. Situated over the carport below this room has a cottage feel with recessed windows and eves adding character and charm.
There are three further double sized bedrooms offering flexible opportunities for a dressing room or additional home office on the first floor if required. A fully fitted family bathroom completes the first floor.
Outside the property enjoys just over an acre of land offering a sylvan outlook and a wonderful setting for al fresco entertaining.
A large and stylish patio area with French doors leading into the kitchen/diner and living rooms is an attractive focal point. The lawns are punctuated with trees and shrubs and the grounds include a natural spring and stream along one boundary.
Much of the greenspace is restricted from building, but the area closer to the double gate access into the gardens has possibilities for adding a new structure such as a stable, domestic workshop or additional garage (Subject to necessary consents).
Agent Note: There is an overage in place on part of the greenbelt land which we are currently confirming.
