4 bedroom detached house

A FABULOUS FAMILY HOME WITH AMAZING ENTERTAINING SPACE THAT IS BEAUTIFULLY PRESENTED AND PERFECTLY SITUATED ON THE EDGE OF TOWN.

In a prime location close to the edge of town, Coonor must to be one of the best presented high spec. family homes in Blandford. Originally built in the 1930’s, over the last 12 years it has been remodelled and comprehensively refurbished by the current owners so the accommodation, including the annexes, now extends to over 2,800 sq/ft. At the heart of the house is a fabulous full height kitchen/dining/family room off which there is a 2nd sitting room and a large utility room. At the front of the house there is a drawing room with an open fireplace, 2 double bedrooms and a shower room, and upstairs there are 2 further double bedrooms both with ensuite bathrooms and access to a large attic storage area. In addition to this there is a useful annexe in the front garden with a living room, bedroom and shower room, and a brilliant entertaining space in the back garden with its own kitchen and WC. The whole house is beautifully presented and very high spec. High levels of insulation have been introduced during the refurbishment which also included rewiring, a new heating system, hardwood double glazing, and most recently an 7.67kWp solar installation and Tesla battery storage system. Coonor is an efficient and comfortable family home with great entertaining space and flexible accommodation perfect for multi generational living.

For an edge of town property, Coonor has a generous garden. Accessed between two stone pillars the drive leads past a long lawn up to a turning area with comfortable parking for 5 or 6 cars around the annexe (which could easily be converted back into a garage). Behind the house bi-fold doors from the family room open onto a large paved terrace beyond which the level lawn has a path up to the garden/entertaining room which also has bi-fold doors opening back into the garden, and a well stocked bar! From the back garden there is access onto the Dorset Trailway.
