House For Sale £950,000
A fantastic detached house tucked away near the centre of the popular village of Chideock with a delightful garden and outbuildings.
THE PROPERTY
Tucked away near the heart of the most popular village of Chideock, first glimpses of Vane House are most impressive, with its most attractive stone façade and pitched tiled roof.
Dating back to the mid-1950s this wonderful family home has undergone a fastidious programme of works over the years, and is now immaculately presented offering superb and very flexible accommodation.
On first entering the property it is difficult not to smile, with a delightful hall and coat cupboard leading into the spectacular sitting room, perfectly proportioned and with a central open fire made of Portland stone. There is also a cloakroom on the ground floor and a large boot room, and a fantastic garden room with sliding doors opening out to the delightful gardens. Worth a special mention is the stunning family kitchen which is quite simply 'as good as it gets' with a large dining area at one end and easily enough room for a breakfast/dining table, a breakfast bar and a number of bespoke wall and base units incorporating a 5 ring AEG hob. Like many rooms in the house there are wonderful views over the garden and countryside beyond.
The bedrooms are situated on the first floor, with three beautiful bedrooms including a large principal bedroom suite with a dressing area and en suite shower room. There is also a separate bath and shower room and the possibility of extending into the loft, subject to the necessary planning consents.
Surrounding the property is the most delightful garden, mainly laid to lawn - a utopia for children and animals, with a lovely front garden with ornamental pond. The property is accessed by electric ornamental gates with ample parking. There are solar panels on the roof with a healthy FIT return of approx.. £2,000 pa. To the side of the house and the rear is a large paved sitting and entertaining area, ideal for al fresco dining, a greenhouse, large workshop with hot and cold water and a dog bath, large store, single garage and even a separate wooden sauna room. All these buildings offer huge flexibility, including the possibility of a garden office or games room.
All in all, this would make a wonderful primary or secondary home in an idyllic yet very convenient location.
LOCATION
Chideock is a popular West Dorset village with excellent local amenities including a general store, a sub-Post Office, churches, The George Inn and the Clock House Inn public houses, village hall and a frequent bus service to Bridport. Set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the stunning World Heritage Coastline is under a mile away at Seatown with access to the beach and spectacular cliff and coastal walks and the popular public house The Anchor Inn. Much of the surrounding countryside is either owned or controlled by the National Trust, with an abundance of footpaths on the doorstep.
The attractive Georgian market town of Bridport is just 2.9 miles to the east, with many excellent independent and high street shops and restaurants and a thriving street market on Saturdays and Wednesdays. A number of large supermarkets can also be found either in or around the town including Waitrose and Morrisons. There is also a Cottage Hospital, a large Medical Centre, a popular Leisure Centre with swimming pool, a successful Arts Centre and a number of independent festivals involving the Arts are held throughout the year.
The historic resort of Lyme Regis is just 6.9 miles to the west, offering sailing, mackerel fishing, theatre and hosting many festivals throughout the year, with many independent shops and restaurants including Mark Hix's Oyster & Fish House. The larger city of Exeter lies some 36 miles away, with an international airport and large range of facilities and high street shopping with several department stores including a large John Lewis.
Communication links are good with road links along the A35 and mainline stations to London Waterloo at Dorchester, Axminster and Crewkerne.
