Description
Longview is a most impressive modern country house, offering incredibly bright, spacious and beautifully appointed accommodation. The house has been the subject of considerable improvement in recent years and is presented in immaculate decorative order. The handsome elevations are in the New England style, with mainly red brickwork and panels of white weatherboarding under a clay tiled roof. The elevations are enhanced by extensive floor to ceiling glazing, a feature landing window at the front, and twin balconies and a large roof lantern at the rear.
Almost every room in the house, and in particular the sun balconies, enjoy breath-taking panoramic views across the open countryside of the Cranborne Chase.
The house offers excellent family accommodation arranged over just two floors. The room sizes are particularly generous and the flexible layout that could potentially provide a two storey annexe if required, subject to any necessary permissions being obtained.
Internal inspection is essential to fully appreciate the many features of this exceptional property which include:
• lpg fired central heating with underground storage tank
• Double glazed windows
• Beautifully fitted kitchen with Neff appliances and Corian worktops
• Luxuriously appointed bathrooms, shower rooms and cloakroom with high quality sanitary ware, wall and floor tiling
• Outdoor Swimspa pool providing the features of a hot tub, with the added benefit of a current to swim against
• Crown garden pavilion in teak with cedar shingle roof, upholstered seating and built in gas fired pizza oven
A handsome oversized front door with glazed side screens leads into the stunning double height reception hall which features a vaulted ceiling and a bridge with maple and glass balustrade over, the hall then opens into a large reception/ dining area with a vast roof lantern and patio doors providing an incredible amount of natural light.

Leading off is an excellent family room with full height glazing on two sides and doors to the entrance terrace, plus a utility/ boiler room with fitted units space for washer and dryer and door to outside. The layout of this area and a secondary staircase from the family room to the study/ bedroom six and bathroom, could lend itself to the creation of an annexe subject to any necessary permissions being obtained.
