AUCTION PRICE GUIDE: £590,000 FREEHOLD

SITUATION & DESCRIPTION

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial, 6 bedroomed, detached house, designed in the Edwardian style and built between the wars and set in a very large plot with delightful back garden and potential to further update or extend, subject to the usual planning consents if required.
The house was constructed in 1927 and has only had two owners since. Many original features have been retained including the Oregon pine flooring in the hall and reception rooms, picture rails, decorative timber fire surrounds and colourful stained glass in the front and balcony doors.
The two bright reception rooms have bay windows, the kitchen was hand built in elm by a shipwright carpenter and there are 6 bedrooms, with 2 bedrooms and an additional shower room on the second floor.
The house has an integral single garage and hardstanding for parking or turning several cars, whilst at the rear is a 150 feet long level and wide lawned garden with mature fruit trees.
A major selling point of this property are the solar panels on the roof which were installed in December 2011 on a very good feed-in tariff. The present provider is Utility Warehouse who on average return £650 per quarter to property. There is gas fired central heating by radiators.Preston is a popular suburb on the eastern edge of the resort of Weymouth, approximately 2.5 miles from the town centre and harbour and only 1 mile from Overcombe Beach and Bowleaze Cove. There is a local Spar shop and pubs close by and a doctor’s surgery and primary school a short walk away.

The accommodation is laid out on three floors.
On the ground floor, an attractive stained glass front door leads into the reception hall. The delightful, double aspect sitting room features an exposed timber floor, bay window, wood burning stove in timber surround with mirror over and a built-in dresser. There is a double glazed patio door leading onto the garden. The dining room is equally as attractive with original fireplace with Victorian style tiled insets and bay window and exposed floorboards. The practical kitchen features a range of elm cupboard and drawers. It has a Rangemaster 5 ring cooker with one electric oven, gas oven and grill plus a very useful, original walk-in larder with slate cold shelf. A door from the kitchen leads out to the utility room which has doors to the garage and back garden and a cloakroom off.
The first floor landing has a door leading out onto a south facing balcony. The four bedrooms are all well proportioned, two with fitted wardrobes, wash hand basins and bay windows.Off the landing is a family bathroom and separate WC.
A conventional staircase leads to the second floor which has good ceiling height and features two more bedrooms and a shower room leading from the landing.
Outside is a substantial driveway set back from the road and a single garage. Access on both sides of the house leads to the fairly level back garden which is delightful. About 150 feet long and quite wide, it is mainly laid to lawn with flower borders, fruit trees and an ash tree, brick and timber store sheds and a lean-to bike shed. There is a patio which has been built as a base for a sun lounge or conservatory.

SERVICES: All main services are available.

LOCAL PLANNING AUTHORITY: Dorset Council.
