House For Sale £325,000
With great potential for improvement, this 1897 historic townhouse enjoys mellow local stone elevations under a slate roof. Spread over three floors, there are four bedrooms and two reception rooms. The once elegant rooms are all well-proportioned with a host of period features including high ceilings, original internal doors, beautiful architraves and an oak herringbone parquet floor. The large sash windows create a sense of light and space, some offering beautiful views across the town’s rooftops and beyond to the surrounding hills. Outside there is a quiet and pretty south facing courtyard garden. The property is located close to the town’s excellent facilities. In need of complete renovation, it is a wonderful opportunity to bring this period property back to life.
The accommodation is laid out as follows.
Entrance door into the reception hall with its ornate cornice and parquet floor which runs throughout the downstairs reception rooms. Stairs rising to the first floor and all doors leading off.
The sitting room is a well proportioned room set to the front of the property with a large sash window, high ceiling and ornate cornice. There is an open fireplace with pine surround and mantel and tiled hearth.
The dining room is to the rear and overlooks the enclosed courtyard garden. An alcove is set to one side of this room and a built-in cupboard is found in the opposite alcove.
A door from the dining room leads directly on to the kitchen. With wall and floor cupboards in solid wood topped with a laminate worksurface. Integrated items include an eyelevel oven and electric hob. There is plumbing for a dishwasher. The gas-fired boiler is found here.
A rear door takes you into an open lean-to which then leads on to the courtyard garden.
On the first floor one finds the family bathroom. The suite is in a soft green with bath, overhead shower, sink and WC.
Of the three bedrooms on this floor, there are two very good-sized doubles, both with the classic features of high ceilings and large sash windows and wonderful aged pine floorboards. The front bedroom looks onto the 14th century country house hotel and has views over the rooftops and beyond. The sunny west facing back bedroom has views over the courtyard garden. The third bedroom is a single room set to the front with a wash basin. This room was formerly a study.
Moving up to the second floor where a fourth bedroom is located. Set high, this double bedroom is charming with two generous Velux windows which flood it with light. With beautiful east and west facing views across the town and to Toller Down one of the highest hills in Dorset. This room was formerly used as an art studio. Again, this room boasts aged pine floor boards.
Next door is a shower room with shower cubicle, sink and w.c.
Beaminster is a small West Dorset country town nestling in the hills surrounded by countryside designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The town has many fine examples of Georgian architecture as well as picturesque 17th century cottages and at its heart is a conservation area with listed buildings, a number of which are built of mellow limestone. This thriving community has a good selection of shops, restaurants and pubs, many of which are clustered around the town Square, and there are two schools, (primary and secondary). There is also an annual music festival as well as an arts festival and the surrounding countryside and superb coast, which is designated a World Heritage Site, can be accessed via a network of foot and bridle paths. The larger towns of Bridport, Dorchester and Yeovil are within reach along with Crewkerne where there is also a main line railway service to London (Waterloo). Super-fast broadband is available.<br/><br/>
