5 bedroom detached house for sale

A deceptively spacious 4/5 bedroom detached chalet style house, nicely set back from the road in a garden plot of just over a quarter of an acre, with a garage and ample off road parking, in the heart of this picturesque Dorset village.

Offering flexible and generously sized 2-storey accommodation including a kitchen/breakfast room overlooking the large, level rear garden, the property benefits from an open fire, gas central heating and UPVC double glazing.

A spacious reception hall with airing and coat cupboards leads to a dual aspect lounge/dining room with a brick open fireplace. There is also a study/fifth bedroom with a deep under stairs cupboard (with fitted light).

The large, dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room features patio doors giving a delightful aspect over the garden, an exposed brick pillar feature with clay pipes for wine storage, an extensive range of units and worktops and a breakfast bar. Integrated appliances include dishwasher, gas hob, extractor, electric double oven and fridge, and there is space for a further fridge-freezer. A side door leads to an integral porch, and there is a utility room with Worcester gas central heating boiler, space and plumbing for washing machine, space for tumble dryer, and door to the porch.

There are 2 ground floor double bedrooms overlooking the rear garden, both with fitted or built-in furniture, a wet room (with wash basin, WC and shower) and a spacious family bathroom (with bath, WC, wash basin, bidet and built-in shelved cupboard).

Stairs lead to a first floor landing with access to a large eaves storage cupboard (with fitted light) and there are 2 further double bedrooms.

The house is centrally positioned within its ample plot, setting it back from the village road. A spacious gravelled driveway leads through a brick pillared entrance, providing turning and parking, and leading to a further block paved parking area in front of the integral garage, which has an up-and-over door, lighting and power points.

The front garden has lawns, hedges and shrubs. At the side there is a fuel bunker for the open fire. A gate and footpath lead to the large, neatly maintained south westerly facing rear garden which is largely laid to lawn, with a hardstanding for a shed, and a range of shrubs and trees including a weeping silver birch and 3 apple trees.
