House For Sale £1,700,000
The handsome semi-detached three-storey residence sits on the fringes of the town of Beaminster. The Grade II* listed house was believed to have been originally a malt house built in the 17th century. It has since been extended and improved. It is now an impressive home with a wealth of character features throughout. These include blue lias flagstones, original beams and beautiful fireplaces. Modern additions include a bespoke kitchen and a stunning garden room to the side. There is an air of quality throughout. The gardens compliment the house beautifully with lawns, terraces and a parterre rose garden. The property benefits from several outbuildings which were previously stables and a tack room. A shared drive leads up to a gated entrance which opens out
to a generous gravelled parking area and electric car charging point. This rare opportunity deserves to be viewed.
The property is laid out as follows
A stone porch with Tuscan columns over the entrance door opens into the central hall. The hall has a number of doors leading off to the principal reception rooms and the rear hall. Stairs rise to the first floor. Blue lias flagstones and a fireplace with a wood burner are two of the attractive features in this room.
The drawing room has a southerly-facing aspect over the
garden. Three bespoke bookcases line the walls and original beams run across the ceiling. The central feature is a stunning fire surround with a cream wood burner inset.
The more relaxed sitting room is found on the opposite side of the hall. Again, it benefits from a wood burner and is dual aspect looking out over the garden. The windows in this room and throughout the property have bespoke glass shutters. A door opens into the rear hallway.
The rear hallway provides access to the Victorian extension to the property with a second staircase rising to the first floor. Blue Lias flagstones run along the hallway. Doors open into the downstairs cloakroom, a pantry/wine store and the utility/boiler room. This sizable room has built-in storage and houses the boilers for the house, there is plenty of space for a washing machine and a tumble dryer. Accessed from the hallway is an internal courtyard which has a log store and storage area.
The kitchen/breakfast room is simply stunning. This spacious room has bespoke kitchen units built by Woodcrafts of Oxford. They are finished with solid granite worktops, with a matching free-standing island sitting in the centre of the room offering additional workspace and storage. There is also an impressive Welsh dresser in a complimentary style. The Stoves 7 ring range cooker has 3 ovens and is an impressive addition. Integrated items include a dishwasher, an extraction hood and recycling bins. With space for a free-standing fridge freezer. A large walk-in larder with space for an additional fridge.
There is plenty of room for a breakfast table and chairs to seat four to six.
A square archway leads on from the kitchen/breakfast room into the solid wood, double glazed garden room with vaulted glass roof. This additional reception room benefits from underfloor heating and provides an opportunity to sit and enjoy the views over the terraces and gardens.
Two staircases can take you upstairs, one in the original house and one from the Victorian extension. The landing links both parts of the property. There is a laundry room on this floor with built-in storage and an emersion tank. Cloakroom. There is also a wonderful dressing room next door to the second guest bedroom/study. The dressing room has floor to ceiling bespoke cupboards and wardrobes also built by Woodcrafts of Oxford.
The master bedroom is dual aspect and is of very generous proportions with views again across the garden. This room then flows into a simply magnificent en-suite. With echoes of Italy, the bath is set into a collar of marble, the inset dual sinks are set under a similar marble,
its stunning. There is also a curved shower cubicle and enclosed W.C.
The guest bedroom is on the same floor with front aspect. This room benefits from an ensuite with modern walk-in shower, basin and W.C.
The second guest bedroom/study is presently used as a study. It is a sizable room and has built-in storage and would also make a super double bedroom.
Moving upstairs to the third floor, we find a further two double bedrooms, both stunning in their décor and with dual aspect views. There is a bathroom on this floor with bath, basin 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 and arts festival. 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.
