An impressive detached country house offering immense potential to upgrade, together with substantial outbuildings, 7.9 Acres of grounds and gardens all located in an enviable position on the fringe of West Dorset. EPC: Band G

Saddle Street House occupies a unique location at the end of a 'no through' road in this glorious corner of West Dorset. Built with rendered elevations set beneath a tiled roof, the original accommodation, built in 1948, has been substantially extended but now offers scope for upgrading and improvement to bring it up to 21st Century standards and create an outstanding family home in a secluded, but accessible, rural position. Currently the main house provides two reception rooms, a generous kitchen/breakfast room, three double bedrooms, all with stunning long range views and two bathrooms. A utility room and boot room form the connection to what could easily become a separate annexe with two reception rooms, a small kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and gallery/recreation area (partial restricted head height). Two further buildings within the grounds offer scope to create ancillary accommodation, subject to any necessary consents, these being a substantial double garage with attached potting shed and a four bay car port /boat store, with loft storage, both of block and rendered construction under a tiled roof.
The house is approached through double gates with a sweeping gravelled driveway that leads to an extensive parking area and space for several cars. The gardens and grounds have been well established over many years, largely informal and principally lawned with a wealth of specimen trees, mature shrubs and fruit trees. Beyond the main garden area and sloping gently uphill in a South Westerly direction is an excellent pasture field with a mix of post and rail fencing, established hedges, water trough and direct access onto the historic Monarch's Way long distance trail. The whole area is estimated to extend to just short of 8 Acres (7.9).
Note: A public footpath crosses the field North to South.

Saddle Street House sits in a unique and enviable position at the end of a 'no through' road in this peaceful corner of West Dorset surrounded by the most glorious undulating countryside and enjoying far reaching views. The charming and vibrant village of Thorncombe is within 1 mile offering a variety of local amenities that include the post office/general store/cafe, primary school and fine old church. The market towns of Crewkerne and Axminster are both some 7 mile distant with a main line rail service (London Waterloo), choice of major supermarkets, smaller retailers, educational and leisure facilities and the historic seaside town of Lyme Regis, with its famous Cobb harbour is also close by. The larger centres of Dorchester and Exeter (with a regional airport) are easily accessible and road links to the M5, A303 and A35 are all easily reached.
