Charming character home occupying a delightful wooded setting in gardens and grounds of about 19 acres. DescriptionWood End is understood to have been built as an estate lodge, and was the subject of extension and improvement by the previous owner during his 40+ years at the property. The house has mainly brick elevations under a slate roof, the central section at the front including the gable end and window surrounds of the original lodge. It is fair to say that the property would now benefit from modernisation and refurbishment, and offers a buyer huge scope to adapt and improve to their own style, budget and timescale. There could also be potential to extend or even replace the existing house, subject of course to any necessary permissions being obtained. One of the undoubted features of the property is the incredible wooded setting. Approached along a long private driveway lined with trees, the grounds offer complete peace and seclusion, and yet are within a few minutes' drive of both the A31, and the centre of Wimborne Minster. A covered porch area gives access to both front and rear entrance doors. The front door opens into the entrance hall with cloaks storage, understairs cupboard and cloakroom with basin and WC.

The utility room has a sink unit, plumbing for a washing machine, and a door to the rear porch.A staircase leads up to the first floor landing with linen and store cupboards. The main bedroom suite includes a generous and bright bedroom, a dressing area with built in wardrobes, and a modern half tiled bathroom with bath, separate glazed shower, basin and WC. The spacious guest bedroom has fitted wardrobes and is arranged in two areas, so could possibly be split into two smaller rooms.
