Features and description
Possibly Beaminster's finest family home tucked away near the centre of town, with four beautiful bedrooms, double garage, gravelled parking, and a delightful and sizeable garden.
THE PROPERTY
Tucked away near the heart of the most sought-after market town of Beaminster and approached via a shared and private gravelled drive, first glimpses of this magnificent property are most impressive with its most striking façade. Constructed in the late Georgian period of local stone and brick under a pitched slate roof, the property has been cleverly extended over the years resulting in a truly fabulous family home.
On first entering this wonderful property, which is justifiably Grade II listed of architectural and historical importance, there is a real sense of charm, space, and light, with very well-presented accommodation, yet totally untainted by inappropriate modernisation. One is immediately greeted by a fabulous and sizeable hall which leads perfectly into a number of fantastic reception rooms, all worth a special mention. Just off the hall is a dining room with sash windows and high ceilings, and adjacent to the dining room is a lovely TV/snug room with a fitted bookcase. A door then leads into a truly magnificent drawing room with a pretty ornate fireplace and flooded with natural light, with double doors leading out to the delightful garden. This room is ideal for entertaining and takes full advantage of its views over the gardens.
Also on the ground floor is a cloakroom, and an extremely good-sized family kitchen, so rare for a property of this type and age. There is a central island and plenty of room for a large breakfast and dining table. The kitchen area incorporates a number of wooden wall and base units and a five ringed farmhouse gas hob and oven. There is also a large larder, and good-sized utility room, and direct access to the gardens and paved terrace, ideal for al fresco dining.
A beautiful staircase leads up to the principal bedrooms with a large landing currently utilised as a study area, with large sash windows flooding with natural light. There are four beautiful bedrooms, including a superb master bedroom and adjoining bathroom. This room, like many rooms in the house, boasts its own views over the garden with dual aspect windows. There is also a guest bath and shower room and separate family bathroom, again so rare for a property of this type and age and ideal to suit most families' needs.
OUTSIDE
The main garden lies to the rear of the house, with gravelled parking to the front for ample cars which is worth its weight in gold in Beaminster. There is a large lawned area, and the garden is a true utopia for children and animals with well stocked borders and specimen trees. The garden is partly walled and private, with many places to sit and enjoy a glass of wine and where it is easy to forget you are only a minute's walk to the centre of town with all its facilities and restaurants. A large beech hedge divides off part of the garden, with a lovely orchard to one side. There is also a large double garage with up and over electric doors, and a productive kitchen garden and greenhouse which has been lovingly nurtured over the many years of occupancy.
All in all, this is a truly wonderful property in an idyllic and most sought-after location.
LOCATION
Beaminster is one of the most sought-after locations in the area. This vibrant, attractive market town has an excellent range of facilities including a butcher, baker, post office, chemist, hardware store, convenience stores, greengrocers, two doctors' surgeries, veterinary surgery, independent gift and tea shops, restaurants, three public houses, a hotel and leisure facilities. There is a wide variety of clubs and societies to choose from and Beaminster Festival, an annual event, hosts local and national artists, writers and musicians.
The Georgian town of Bridport and the coast at West Bay are around 15 minutes drive, as is Crewkerne with a main line railway service to London Waterloo, both with a further range of facilities and supermarkets, including Waitrose.
