Gussage All Saints, Wimborne, Dorset

With a red-brick facade adjoined to a wing of brick and flint elevations, All Saints House is an attractive property offering character, charm and versatility with accommodation arranged across two floors.

On the ground floor, the spacious reception hall provides an inviting welcome with glimpses up to the galleried landing of the first floor. Reception rooms comprise an elegant sitting room featuring a fireplace with decorative surround and with inset wood-burning stove. Two separate doors give access into a light-filled conservatory, where the garden and surrounding terrain can be enjoyed throughout the seasons, and for hosting family and friends, the dining room on the opposing side of the hallway offers the ideal setting. The adjoining kitchen has a red Aga stove at its heart and is fitted with wall and base level cabinetry, whilst a utility room provides additional storage and a home to domestic appliances. A flexible-use family room is adjacent to the kitchen.

There are four bedrooms on the upper level where rooms enjoy the elevated vistas over the undulating landscape. Three rooms enjoy the benefit of en suite facilities, whilst the fourth room has a vanity sink and a link to a study. Additional facilities are provided on the ground floor, where a modern shower room is situated.

Wrought-iron gates, set within the brick pillars, mark the vehicular entrance to the property with a gravelled driveway providing parking and leading to the detached double garage for a sheltered halt. Picket fencing forms a partition to the side with a gate offering a route to the rear garden which is mainly laid to lawn, interspersed with specimen trees. The paved pathway links to a terrace adjoining the house with direct access from the conservatory offering opportunities for outdoor dining and relaxation. Offering an additional passage, a gravelled path with garden to either side leads to a pedestrian gate where a line of shrubs fronts the lane offering a natural boundary and affording views across to open countryside.
