Individually built for the current owner in 1982, this impressive home enjoys a wonderful setting with attractive views across neighbouring fields, offering an ideal balance of countryside living and everyday convenience.

A five-bar gate opens onto the private front garden and driveway, providing excellent off-road parking and access to the double garage. A storm porch with modern composite front door leads into a spacious entrance hall, where an attractive staircase with elegant metal spindles creates an immediate welcoming space.

The generously proportioned sitting room is positioned to the left of the entrance hall and features an open limestone fireplace, forming a charming focal point to the room. A double glazed window to the front and sliding patio doors to the rear allows plenty of natural light throughout the day. Double doors connect seamlessly to the dining room, creating a versatile open-plan layout ideal for entertaining family and friends.

The kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the home, offering ample space for informal dining and fitted with an excellent range of wall, drawer and base units complemented by granite work surfaces. An oil-fired AGA enhances the warm, country style atmosphere. A useful utility/boot room is located just off the kitchen and provides a sink, storage, plumbing for a washing machine, electric cooker point, and internal access to both the double garage and the rear garden.

The ground floor also benefits from a cloakroom and a separate study, perfectly suited for home working.

Upstairs, a spacious galleried landing includes a double airing cupboard and access to loft storage. All five bedrooms are well proportioned, with the principal bedroom enjoying the advantage of an en-suite bath/shower room. A family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.

Externally, the front garden is predominantly laid to lawn with established shrub and flower borders, screened by a mature hedge. In addition to the double attached garage, the driveway provides parking for several vehicles. A side pathway, with a paved patio area, leads through to the rear garden which offers a generous yet manageable outdoor space. A paved terrace overlooks the lawned garden and enjoys delightful views over fields. A pergola covered seating area provides the perfect spot for outdoor dining, entertaining or quiet relaxation.

In summary, this delightful family home is ideally suited to those seeking country living in a desirable Dorset village, with convenient access to local amenities, excellent road links, and popular nearby towns.
