This detached period home is believed to have been built in the 1800's. The original building is cob and the newer extension is traditional build. This is an incredibly versatile home and offers the opportunity for a large family and the ability to work from home quite comfortably. There is updating required and some work to do, however, there is the opportunity to make this home something quite special.

The Entrance Hall is stone-flagged and leads to the main reception rooms, the kitchen and a rear access door. The generous Sitting Room has a large wood burner set within a stone fireplace, a window seat is set to the side and beams make this a very cosy room. Double glazed doors open onto the Conservatory and equally large room, light and airy and also generous in size, double patio doors allow you to spill out into the garden on pleasant days, making the most of the space.

The Kitchen/Breakfast Room overlooks the rear of the property and is large enough for a good-sized dining table for informal meals. There are fitted base and wall units and integrated dishwasher and fridge. Leading off the kitchen is the large Utility Room with a useful Cloakroom with W.C., and rear access to the parking area.

Off the entrance hall is the formal Dining Room, presently used as an additional sitting room by our vendors, and then into the Home Office, a really good space for working from home.

The First Floor has six good sized Double Bedrooms. The Principal Bedroom is particularly charming with timber beams and views across the garden, this has an En-suite with bath and shower and on the other side of the landing is Bedroom 2, which has an En-suite shower room and equally pretty views. The further 4 Double Bedrooms share the Family Bathroom which has the benefit of a bathtub and a shower unit.

14 south facing solar panels gives a reasonable return for electric and water. The tariff stands until 2032.

Outside
When you pull off the road a wide five-bar timber gate opens out onto a large driveway, which has parking for approximately 6 vehicles. The generous Double Garage has a good size Workshop attached. The extensive Rear Garden has several seating areas, a wide Patio sits outside the conservatory and back door. Further Patio area sits beyond an arbour and most of the rest of the garden is lawn and mature garden with plenty of other areas for sitting and enjoying the space. The far end of this fabulous space gently slopes down to The Bere, a brook which is a tributary of the River Piddle and the views from here are superb. This really is a garden made for enjoyment.

Location
The village of Bere Regis, in the heart of Hardy country, is just off the A31 and A35 with easy and good access to the county town of Dorchester to the west and Poole and Bournemouth to the south east. The property itself is located just on the edge of the village but still close to the village shop and post office, church and public houses within easy walking distance of all these amenities and pretty river and woodland walks. There is a primary school in the village and the catchment is for the highly commended Lytchett School. The main line stations from nearby Wareham, Wool and Dorchester are to Waterloo and Bristol respectively. A short drive will get you to the sandy beaches at Studland, Swanage and Weymouth.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on May 5, 2022

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on May 5, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
