5 Bedroom Detached House for sale in Dorset
Welcome to this well-proportioned and versatile family home, offering generous and adaptable accommodation arranged to suit modern day living.
A porch opens into a welcoming ENTRANCE HALL, which sets the tone for the rest of the property and provides access to the principal ground floor rooms. There is a natural sense of flow from the outset, with each room well connected yet offering its own defined purpose. The SITTING ROOM is positioned to the front of the property and is centred around a fireplace, currently blocked off but with the potential to be reinstated, subject to inspection. The room is light and bright, with a large window allowing natural light to flood in.
An impressive KITCHEN is positioned to the rear and forms the heart of the home. Fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and floor mounted units with work surfaces over, the kitchen includes a Rangemaster cooker and water softener, along with space for a fridge freezer and associated plumbing for a dishwasher and washer dryer. The scale and layout of this room allow for informal dining or breakfast seating, making it a sociable and highly functional space suited to both family life and entertaining.
The DINING ROOM sits adjacent, creating a natural connection between the spaces while still allowing separation when required, ideal for more formal occasions. Beyond, the conservatory provides an additional reception area overlooking the garden, enjoying good levels of natural light and offering a flexible space that can be used as a second sitting room, playroom or garden room throughout the year.
Further practicality is provided by a ground floor WC and internal access to one garage directly from the kitchen, ideal for storage, while a second garage offers additional space suited to workshop use or day to day convenience.
Venturing upstairs, the first floor is arranged around a central landing and offers FIVE BEDROOMS. THE PRINCIPAL BEDROOM benefits from an EN-SUITE SHOWER ROOM and a separate dressing area, creating a well-considered and comfortable private retreat.
THREE FURTHER DOUBLE BEDROOMS provide ample accommodation for family or guests, each offering good proportions and flexibility, while the FIFTH BEDROOM works well as a single bedroom, nursery or home office.
THE FAMILY BATHROOM is well appointed and fitted with a bath with handheld shower, a separate shower cubicle, a pedestal wash hand basin, heated towel rail and WC.
Additional storage is available within the eaves, and the property also benefits from access to a fully boarded loft with power, lighting and water, offering further potential, subject to any necessary consents.
Overall, this is a spacious and highly adaptable home, offering a practical layout that supports both family living and more flexible working arrangements, with well-balanced accommodation throughout.
Outside
The property enjoys generous outdoor space to both the front and rear, creating a well-balanced and highly usable setting. To the front, a wide gravelled driveway provides ample off road parking for several vehicles and is bordered by mature hedging, offering a good degree of privacy. Access to the garage and additional covered storage adds to the overall practicality.
To the rear, the garden is a standout feature, offering a substantial and well maintained space ideal for both families and entertaining. A large lawn stretches the length of the plot, framed by established trees and planting that provide a natural sense of seclusion and year round interest. A paved patio creates the perfect spot for outdoor dining, with steps leading up to the main garden. A brick and timber built summer house completes the space, offering flexibility for a range of uses.
