Kyrchil Way, Colehill, Wimborne, Dorset, BH21

Built in 1998 by Berkeley Homes Ltd, the property has recently been substantially extended, re-modelled and updated to the highest specification, and no expense has been spared in the creation of a fabulous family home which now extends to over 6,000ft², arranged over 3 floors with an internal passenger lift to all levels.
