House For Sale £850,000
An opportunity to acquire a spacious family home in a delightful rural setting on the outskirts of Weymouth and within easy reach of the Jurassic coast.
Dating from the 1970's with Purbeck stone and rendered elevations, the property is set in substantial gardens extending to 0.37 acres and enjoys impressive views over open countryside to the front.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors with a hallway and open tread staircase leading to the first floor, cloakroom and doors into a spacious sitting room enjoying country views to the front, stone fireplace with woodburning stove, two obscure glazed side windows and patio doors opening into a conservatory at the rear. There is a separate dining room with rear aspect bay window and open access into a double aspect kitchen/breakfast room fitted with an extensive range of wall and floor cupboards with built in double oven with combination microwave, halogen hob and integrated fridge and dishwasher. A side lobby has door to double garage and access into a utility room housing a modern Worcester oil fired boiler together with door to a guest bedroom with sliding door to an en-suite shower room.
On the first floor the landing has twin front aspect windows enjoying open country views, hatch and ladder to large loft space and airing cupboard. There are four bedrooms, three of which are double rooms with the main bedroom having an en-suite bathroom with tile enclosed bath and separate shower cubicle together with a family bathroom, again with bath and separate shower.
Outside, gated access to the front leads to a large tarmac drive with parking for several cars and leading to an attached double garage with power and light and hatch to loft storage. The front garden is lawned with shrub borders and trees. Pedestrian side access leads to the rear garden which is a particular feature. Immediately adjoining the rear is a paved sun terrace stocked with an abundance of shrubs and plants with steps up to large expanses of lawned gardens, all enclosed by conifer hedging providing privacy and seclusion from neighbouring properties.
The property is situated in an idyllic, picturesque location within the small and quiet hamlet of Buckland Ripers. Conveniently located between Weymouth and Dorchester the hamlet can also be accessed from the coast road which stretches along the stunning World Heritage Jurassic Coastline from Weymouth to Bridport, passing through the villages of Portesham, Burton Bradstock and Abbotsbury which is home to both The Abbotsbury Swannery and the Sub Tropical Gardens. Both the nearby coastal town of Weymouth and the county town of Dorchester offer a comprehensive range of shopping facilities, schools, and rail links (including Upwey within 2 miles of the house) to both London Waterloo and Bristol Temple Meads. There is outstanding walking and riding across the surrounding countryside including the Fleet and Chesil Beach as well as the sandy beaches of Weymouth.
There is the opportunity to enjoy water sport activities at the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy, golf at Weymouth or West Bay and other sporting facilities available on your doorstep.
