4 bedroom detached house for sale

A STUNNING CONTEMPORARY HOME WITH EXQUISITELY PRESENTED YET PRACTICAL ACCOMMODATION IN
AN EXCELLENT LOCATION

This highly individual architect designed contemporary house was built for the previous owner about 12 years ago. Thanks to a comprehensive refurbishment and update carried out by the current owners over the last two years the house reflects timeless design. The accommodation which extends to nearly 2,400 sq/ft is incredibly practical and laid out over three floors with a lift between the living space and the ground floor (principal bedroom). At the heart of the house is a fabulous double height open plan kitchen, dining and family living space with a fine view and bifold doors out to an alfresco dining area/terrace with steps down to the garden. The kitchen is impressively appointed with Calcutta Oro quartz work surfaces and Smeg and AEG appliances, and the house offers the flexibility of bedrooms on two levels with all four bedrooms having the advantage of high spec ensuite bath/shower rooms. The main bedroom suite is particularly impressive with its dressing room, large fully tiled ensuite with separate shower and bath, and bifold doors to the garden. On the lower ground floor there is a generous utility room and technically the house is right up to mark; heating is underfloor throughout; the UPVC windows and bifold doors are all double glazed. So needless to say, it’s an efficient house with an energy rating B, which with some simple changes could probably rise to an A. The design of the adjoining garage (with access from the entrance hall) lends itself to expanding over the garage to increase living area of even as an annexe (subject to planning).

Turning in from Middlehill Road, Canford Rise is a private paved cul-de-sac shared by three similar contemporary houses. Electric gates open from the cul-de-sac into a private courtyard with parking for several cars in front of the double garage, additional parking to the side and a porch over the front entrance.

Behind the house the cleverly landscaped garden compliments the house perfectly and has a lovely view towards Canford Magna and the river meadows. From the glass walled balcony off the upper ground floor steps lead down onto a large, paved terrace which can also be accessed from both lower ground floor bedrooms. Beyond the terrace white rendered retaining walls surround a level lawn and another sloping lawn which runs up to a second terrace and BBQ area behind the garage. The garden is perfectly arranged for entertaining, barbequing and alfresco dining, and is south west facing so has the advantage of being in the sun all afternoon, and there are two large automatic shades.

1 Canford Rise is conveniently situated about a mile and a half from the centre of historic Wimborne Minster where the vibrant town square has a great selection of cafes and restaurants, the Tivoli Theatre a well know cinema and music venue and a range of other amenities and shops including Waitrose. In contrast to the bustling town centre, a short drive will take you out into the peaceful surrounding countryside. Wimborne lies at the southern tip of the Cranborne Chase National Landscape area (formerly an AONB) and this lovely rolling countryside provides lots of opportunity for walking, riding and cycling and in addition to that, there are several golf courses nearby (Broadstone, Ferndown and Remedy Oak) and in about half an hour you can be sailing and enjoying water sports in Poole Harbour and Studland Bay or exploring the Wareham Forest and Dorset’s renowned Jurassic coastline. Communication links are also good, Poole, Bournemouth and Ferndown are easily commutable and a quick link onto the A31/M27 takes you farther afield to Southampton and Portsmouth, and up to London via the M3. Poole and Salisbury stations are equally convenient (London Waterloo from 1hr 40mins and 2 hrs respectively) and Bournemouth and Southampton airports are also within easy reach. This part of the country has also become popular because of its wide selection of schools, and as well as popular local primary and state secondary schools Poole and Parkstone offer grammar schools and independent schools nearby include Canford, Bryanston, Milton Abbey and Clayesmore, with prep schools at Dumpton, Castle Court, Hanford and Sandroyd.
