Moorings is a stunning property built in 1904 by a sea captain and extends to about 5414 sqft (503sqm). It is an imposing 7 – 8-bedroom property and in the same family since 1985. It has lovely period features including ornate tiled and parquet flooring, archways, open fireplaces, some interesting stained-glass windows and a decorative timber staircase. With accommodation spanning three floors this fine house has many large rooms, high ceilings and accommodation that a discerning buyer would expect in a house of this stature including domestic offices, (wine room, larder and office) servants rooms, large airing room and pantry. There is even a snooker room, with full size table, on the second floor. There is also a lift to the first floor (this has not been serviced).
The property now requires some modernisation and improvement but gives purchasers the rare chance to put their own ‘mark’ on this historic house. In addition to the main house there is a 3 bedroom cottage, the chauffer's cottage, again in need of some updating.
The property is approached through double wrought iron gates to a large drive with available parking for many vehicles. There is also another separate entrance via a 5-bar gate. The veranda along the full length of the house overlooks the main lawn.
There was a walled kitchen garden and the other areas are laid out with a croquet lawn flanked by mature shrubs and trees. There is a summer house and swimming pool. Large garage with inspection pit and workshop
Moorings is located along North Leigh Lane, to the East of Wimborne, within easy reach of Colehill which provides a range of amenities including a Co-Op, pharmacy, library and schools. There are more comprehensive facilities in Wimborne town centre and further afield in Poole, Bournemouth and Ringwood.
The property enjoys easy access on to the A31 providing access to Ringwood and then the M27 to Southampton and beyond. Poole and Bournemouth are both within 11 miles. Bournemouth International Airport is located some 6 miles away. Cross-Channel ferries are available at Poole and Weymouth.<br/><br/>
