A WELL PROPORTIONED MODERN HOUSE WITH A GENEROUS GARDEN BACKING ONTO OPEN FIELDS - NO ONWARD CHAINNicely situated towards the edge of the village Hedgerows is a substantial individual detached house with the advantage of a very generous plot. Our clients acquired the house about 10 years ago and carried out some basic improvements, replacing the double glazed windows, reorganising the accommodation to create a new entrance hall and ensuite bathroom, and adding a substantial single-story extension at the back. At over 2,000 sq/ft the accommodation is nicely presented and now comprises a large entrance hall which opens through to a superb open plan kitchen/dining room and family living space with double doors opening out to the garden, and off the living room there is a separate sitting room with a wood burning stove. A study, utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor and upstairs there are four good sized bedrooms and two bathrooms (including one ensuite). Double glazing, good insulation and modern oil heating make Hedgerows a comfortable and easy to manage family home, and the space in the garden and configuration of the house and garage mean there is great potential to further extend if needs be. Hedgerows is set well back from the lane and has the advantage of generous gardens to the back and front. The slightly elevated front garden has long lawn with mature borders and to one side a wide gravel and tarmac drive runs up to a parking and turning area in front of the attached single garage. The enclosed back garden has been laid out mainly for the benefit of the children with a wide level lawn running across to a mature hedge with open fields beyond. Immediately behind the house a paved west facing terrace gets the best of the afternoon and evening sun, and off to one side there is a Summer House/Garden Store and a chicken run. Hedgerows is situated in a quiet corner of Hazelbury Bryan on the edge of the Blackmore Vale, an attractive traditional landscape rich in green fields, old oaks and ancient hedgerows. It is a large and popular village with a thriving primary school, shop and a pub (The Antelope), and nearby in Sturminster Newton there is a Co-op mini market, medical centre, The Exchange (a busy local venue) and Harts of Stur, a well-known home/hardware/garden store. It is about half an hours drive to Sherborne with its pretty shopping streets and Waitrose, or Blandford where there is a Georgian market square, M&S food hall, Tesco and Lidl superstores. There are lots of opportunities for leisure and recreation nearby with good walking, riding and cycling in the countryside around the village, the local beauty spot of Bulbarrow is just across the vale and in under an hour you could be enjoying water sports in Poole Harbour and Studland Bay, walking in Wareham Forest or exploring Dorset’s renowned Jurassic coastline. It takes about 20 mins to drive down to the A354, the main road between Dorchester and Salisbury, and from there the commute to Poole, Bournemouth and Ferndown is straight forward, and a quick link onto the A31 takes you to Southampton and Portsmouth via the M27, and on up to London on the M3.
