House For Sale £1,100,000
Charming Family House in sought-after Cranborne Chase.
Description
This spacious, south-facing, family home is set in exceptionally pretty gardens, in a private and elevated position up a country lane, affording views of the 13th Century Church and surrounding countryside.
The layout is notably flexible and has been designed with an emphasis on sociable spaces and flow between rooms. Entrance is via an oak framed porch into a central hall, from which the principal rooms are accessed. To one side is a generous dual-aspect drawing room, with Jetmaster open fire and, to the other, is a spacious dining room with French doors into the light-filled garden room and a feature double-sided fireplace, housing a wood burning stove, that also opens through to the breakfast room. The kitchen has oak cabinetry under granite work surfaces, a double Butlers sink and integrated appliances, including a range cooker, dishwasher and fridge. A useful utility area benefits from a continuation of the oak cupboards, a sink and plumbing for an integrated washing machine and tumble dryer. It also offers access to a boot room, with a door into the garden. An inner hall has a cloakroom / WC.
Upstairs, the galleried landing offers access to the dual-aspect principal bedroom, with dressing room and en suite shower room. A second bedroom has an en suite bathroom. There are three further bedrooms, one currently used as a study, and a family bathroom.
The property is accessed from the lane, via double wooden gates, onto a gravel driveway up to parking in front of the double garage, which has electric doors. The pretty, and very private, garden boasts areas of lawn interspersed with deep herbaceous borders and has been thoughtfully landscaped to include numerous stone terraces and areas to sit, in order to benefit from the sun at any particular time of the day. A stone terrace wraps around the house and includes a raised pond. The lower level of garden is dedicated to a croquet lawn. To one side of the driveway is a recently created raised terrace with a greenhouse, seating area, one of the three sheds and a wood-store. Behind the house, above a sheltered courtyard, is a herb garden. The garden has an abundance of scented roses and fruit trees, such as apple, pear and fig.
