Key information
Property description & features
- Tenure: Freehold
Occupying an outstanding rural position between the popular villages of Alderholt and Cranborne and blessed with a wonderful outlook over Cranborne Estate farmland, Kingbarrow View is an extended house of attractive red brick elevation originally dating from the early 1900s with a later extension designed to serve as an annexe ancillary to the main dwelling. The accommodation is versatile and many of the principal rooms enjoy a high level of natural light and an outstanding outlook of the beautiful gardens and farmland beyond. The ground floor accommodation is particularly spacious with a choice of four reception rooms and a generous kitchen/breakfast room, whilst the first floor is home to three comfortably proportioned bedrooms, one of which benefits from an en suite. The house sits within a magnificent garden of approximately 0.41 acre, within which is an notable array of useful outbuildings that, subject to relevant planning permisison, could serve alternate use, a heated swimming pool and summerhouse.
The property is wonderfully positioned tucked inside the Dorset county line close to the Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and International Dark Skies Reserve and Hither Daggons Wood, mid-way between the villages of Alderholt and Cranborne. Both are home to village shops, primary schools and a choice of popular public houses, whilst there is also a Doctors' surgery, veterinary surgery and restaurant in Cranborne. Further afield, there is primary schooling at Western Downland at Rockbourne/Damerham and the Avonside town of Fordingbridge (approximately 4 miles) offers a wider range of shopping facilities, as well as banks, a library and health centre. The local road network provides good access to the regional centres of the area, with Salisbury, Bournemouth and Southampton all within day-to-day driving distance; all have mainline rail links to London and there are international airports at the latter two. The outdoor enthusiast is well served by the local area, with lovely walking and cycling routes, whilst the New Forest National Park lies about 5 miles to the East.
A long drive way approaches the house and outbuildings, supplying parking and manoeuvring space for numerous vehicles.
The house occupies a central position within its magnificent gardens, which are a particular highlight and feature extensive sweeping lawns with well-stocked, colourful deep flower and shrub beds. To the south-westerly elevation is a well located terrace with summer house, which is an ideal vantage point for enjoying the delightful garden and outlook and behind the house is an enclosed outdoor, solar-heated swimming pool with terraced surround. To the north-east elevation a further section of enclosed garden has been cultivated with extensive, well stocked vegetable beds and a greenhouse.
OUTBUILDINGS
Alongside the house stands a large complex of interconnected outbuildings with light and power connected that comprise a series of WORKSHOPS with an adjoining STABLE and an attached DOUBLE GARAGE that can be accessed from the driveway. The outbuildings could potentially serve a different use, subject to securing any relevant planning and/or regulation consent.
