House For Sale £1,500,000
This classic semi-detached Georgian residence stands proudly in a central position in the town of Beaminster with views across the garden towards the church. The property was originally two buildings which have now been seamlessly joined to create a beautiful home. The spacious accommodation reflects the period of the building with high ceilings and perfectly proportioned rooms. With four reception rooms and five bedrooms spread over three floors, all with views across the garden and towards open countryside. Impressive design
features run throughout the property with the emphasis
on creating a light and comfortable home; these include an atrium, glass lanterns, and an internal courtyard with glass walls. Externally the gardens compliment the house perfectly with lawns, clipped box hedges and terraces leading down to the carport, workshop and parking. The front aspect looks south over the rooftops towards the church and beyond to the rolling Dorset hills. This rare property deserves to be viewed.
The layout is as follows
The entrance is located to the side of the property with steps up and canopied porch over. Entrance door into a lobby with coat cupboard and boiler room set on either side. A glazed door opens into the stunning atrium. This square hall is lit by daylight from above.
The drawing room is the first of the four reception rooms. It is impressive in size with a French door opening out to the garden and two large sash windows making this it a wonderfully light room. The central feature is an open fireplace with stone surround. There is presently a lift installed which rises to the principal bedroom.
The adjoining room is the dining room. This generous room can easily accommodate fourteen people. The decorative fire surround is a stunning feature to this room. There is built-in storage for china and linen.
From here you move into the central hall with stairs rising,
entrance door out to the garden and door leading into the
kitchen/breakfast room.
The kitchen is bespoke and is built in solid wood, topped
in granite. Gas-fired aga. There is a comprehensive range
of units including a wonderful pantry cupboard with an
additional granite worksurface within. A central island
features a one and half bowl sink, cupboards, drawers and
space for a dishwasher. On one end is a drop-down breakfast table. In one corner you find a useful walk in china cabinet with glazed door. Two windows overlook the garden.
The utility room is found off the rear hallway. Here there
is plumbing for a washing machine, work surface, storage
cupboards and a door into the downstairs cloakroom.
Returning to the central hall and following it to the rear it
then extends along the back of the property with doors off to various rooms.
The rear hallway has a wall mostly made of glass which extends into the study and which wraps around
an internal courtyard. This impressive architectural design
feature was added by a previous owner as was the large glass lantern which sits over the study creating a lovely light space to work in. The internal courtyard is a private space to relax, hidden away from the world.
Returning to the rear hallway, as you follow it back to the
atrium you walk through the central library with bespoke
bookcases and cupboards beneath. This room has a fireplace.
Moving upstairs there are three generous bedrooms on the first floor. The principal bedroom is beautifully proportioned and benefits from views over the garden and beyond. Built-in storage runs along one wall. Door into the ensuite shower/bathroom. Here there is a
walk-in open shower, marble topped bath, sink and W.C.
There are a further two guest double bedrooms, both with built-in storage and window seats. The guest bedrooms are serviced by two bathrooms.

The second bathroom also offers a bath and enclosed curved shower unit with basin in solid wood vanity unit and W.C.
Moving up to the second floor, there is built-in storage on the landing to service both bedrooms. The good size twin bedrooms both have a dormer window looking out over the town. The views are best from these rooms as it gives you a real sense of town and country coming together. It is quite lovely.
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, bridle paths and road. The nearest coastal town is only six miles away. The larger towns of Bridport, Dorchester and Yeovil are within reach along with Crewkerne where there is also a mainline railway service to
London (Waterloo). Super-fast broadband is available.
