Description
An attractive and spacious family house, built in the 1930’s, which has been the subject of considerable improvement and extension in recent years. The elevations are of colourwashed render under a tiled roof, with mainly replacement UPVC double glazed windows. The house offers excellent family accommodation with generous room sizes, and is well presented throughout. The current owners for over 15 years have carried out works of extension, modernisation and refurbishment, which have included the building of the delightful garden room with main bedroom suite above, re-fitting of the kitchen, internal and external redecoration, and installation of a 9.9kW solar panel array. In addition, planning permission has been granted for the conversion of the detached garage block into a holiday let.
Internal inspection is strongly recommended in order to fully appreciate the many features of this delightful home.
A pillared entrance porch and panelled front door open into the entrance vestibule with tiled floor, and then into the welcoming reception hall with wood floor, cloaks cupboard, and guest cloakroom. The sitting room features a period style fire surround with marble inset and dual fuel log burner, wood floor and a bay window. Double doors lead through to the bright garden room with triple aspect windows including French doors, all providing views across the terrace and garden. The dining room has an ornate wood fire surround with cast iron and tiled inset, and a bay window, with a door leading to the study/ music room with double aspect windows to front and side. The kitchen/ breakfast room has been attractively re-fitted with a range of units in a French Grey colour, and includes a dishwasher, range style cooker with canopy hood over, space for fridge and freezer, and a door to the integral double garage. Leading off is a utility room with sink unit, plumbing for washing machine and cupboard housing the oil fired boiler and hot water tank.
From the hall, a fine staircase with hardwood handrail and turned balustrading leads up to the first floor landing. The main bedroom suite has triple aspect windows enjoying lovely views over the garden, a dressing room having a range of built in wardrobes with sliding doors, and a fully tiled shower room. There are three further double bedrooms, a large fully tiled family bathroom with freestanding claw footed bath, twin basins, corner shower, and WC. There is also a second family bathroom with bath, basin and WC.
Outside
An in and out shingle driveway provides parking for numerous cars, and leads to the integral Double Garage with twin pairs of doors, French doors to the rear, and staircase up to two useful loft storage rooms with Velux type windows. The driveway continues around to the side and to the detached Garage/ Workshop Block of modern block construction with timber cladding and a tiled roof, providing two good size garages, separate workshop, and a large loft with two windows running the whole width. Planning Permission has been granted for conversion to a 3 bedroom holiday let, and full details can be found on the Dorset Planning website, reference: P/FUL/2021/02441.
The gardens and grounds are a particular feature, extending to approximately 1.78 acres, and attractively laid out with extensive lawns and well stocked beds and borders planted with a wide variety of specimen trees and shrubs. Sunny terraces on the south and west sides are perfect for summer entertaining. Within the gardens are a large and second smaller fishponds, pergola, hexagonal barbecue lodge, greenhouse and potting shed. There is an orchard including apple, pear, plum, and mulberry trees, and a productive kitchen garden with raised beds, asparagus bed, and a fruit cage. Within the grounds is a 9.9kW Solar Panel array, which provides a valuable feed in tariff and income currently of around £5000 p.a.
