Description
The Detail - Nestled within the picturesque village of Stratton, this impressive detached family residence offers approximately 0.81 acres of beautifully established grounds and features a self-contained one-bedroom annexe. The property enjoys a private, south-facing setting with lovely country views.
Approached through a timber gate and gravel driveway, the property provides ample off-road parking, a double garage, and an adjacent workshop. Constructed with brick and tile-hung elevations under a clay tile roof, this charming Sussex-style home offers the potential for further extension and improvement (STPP).
Inside, the thoughtfully designed layout begins with an entrance hall leading to a spacious, triple-aspect sitting room that offers expansive views of the gardens and meadows beyond. Double-glazed French doors open to a large terrace area with a raised pond. The separate dining room, facing south, opens onto the terrace and lawns. The adjacent kitchen/breakfast room, connected by a serving hatch, features a family seating area, a walk-in pantry with space for a fridge/freezer, and ample storage. The kitchen is equipped with a gas-fired AGA and extensive work surfaces with units below, including space for a dishwasher. A large conservatory/sunroom provides an ideal space for relaxing and entertaining, overlooking the beautiful gardens and open meadows to the south. The double garage, accessible via the conservatory, has up-and-over doors to the front drive and a rear door. Additional features include a workshop, garden storage, and a greenhouse.
The western end of the house hosts a self-contained annexe or "granny flat" with its own hall, front and rear access, a cloakroom/shower room with a gas-fired Worcester boiler, and a utility room that could be converted into a kitchenette. The large dual-aspect bedroom/sitting room has direct garden access.
Upstairs, a bright and airy landing leads to four spacious bedrooms, a large shower room at one end, and a family bathroom at the other. The dual aspect principal bedroom includes fitted wardrobes, drawers, and stunning garden views.
The established garden features a sweeping lawn lined with herbaceous borders, specimen trees, and shrubs. Extensive fruit and vegetable plots and a fruit tunnel add to the charm. The lawn is bordered by an orchard and a winterbourne stream along the southern boundary. Beyond the garden lie water meadows and rolling hills of the Frome Valley, offering a private and tranquil outlook.
Stratton is a popular village located approximately three miles northwest of Dorchester, off the A37 towards Yeovil. The village boasts a large village green, a hall, and a popular pub, The Saxon Arms, featured in the Good Pub Guide. Numerous clubs, societies, and an active church foster a strong community spirit. The surrounding West Dorset hills provide miles of scenic country walks.
