5 Old Bakery Close is a handsome and substantial detached house with a traditional brick and flint front that was built in the mid 1990’s as part of a small private development on the edge of the village. Home to our client since 2008 the well organised accommodation is neatly presented throughout and comprises a generous entrance hall with three reception rooms including a double aspect 21 ft sitting room with an open fireplace (gas fire installed), a dining room and a generous kitchen/breakfast room. A study and cloakroom complete the ground floor and upstairs there are five bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms including one ensuite. A high quality oak fronted kitchen was installed in 2010 along with a new heating boiler, extra insulation and new UPVC double glazing all of which go to make this an impressive house and easy and efficient property to manage, and a perfect family home in an attractive edge of village setting.
The property benefits from a large well planted and private garden which backs onto open fields and is predominantly south west facing, so it enjoys the sun through the best of the day. Immediately behind the house there is a paved terrace with French doors from the sitting room and beyond that a wide lawn is surrounded by well stocked colourful borders and has views over open countryside. To the front a short clearly defined shared drive leads up to a parking and turning area in front of the house with a neat lawn and borders to one side and a detached double garage to the other. In the corner of the back garden there is a useful timber garden store.
About three miles northeast of Blandford Forum, Pimperne is a popular and thriving village with a successful primary school, a busy village hall, its own gym and a popular pub (The Anvil). For everyday shops and services, it is only a short drive into Blandford with its busy Georgian market square and other amenities including an M&S food hall, Lidl and Tesco superstores, doctors and dentists etc. Communication links around the village are good and it is only a short drive to Poole, Bournemouth and Ferndown which makes it a convenient location for people who commute to work in that area. Easy access on to the A31 provides a quick link to the M27 for Southampton and Portsmouth. Salisbury is the most convenient station (London Waterloo about 2 hours). Pimperne is situated at the heart of the Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and a brisk walk will take you up onto Cranborne Chase and into the rolling countryside that this part of Dorset is famed for. There are also many good opportunities for sport and recreation in the area with numerous golf courses and plenty of sport clubs in and around Blandford.
All mains services are available at the property. Gas fired radiator central heating. Good broadband service.
