Hinton Parva, Wimborne, Dorset, BH21

A charming 3 bedroom semi-detached Victorian cottage which has recently undergone a programme of refurbishment and re-decoration, set in a large garden adjacent to open farmland in an idyllic rural location about 3 miles north of Wimborne Minster.

Formerly part of the Gaunts Estate, the property is of traditional construction with facing brick elevations, a large A-frame gable, a plain tiled roof and a tall brick chimney. It is tucked away from main roads and traffic noise in a pretty hamlet surrounded by fields.

Connected to mains water and electricity, the house has oil fired central heating and original timber windows. There is great potential for extension, subject to planning consent.

An entrance porch with a quarry tiled floor, stone features and an original front door leads to a large living room with brick and stone open fireplace (with bread ovens) and exposed wall and ceiling timbers.

There is a large kitchen/breakfast room fitted with Wren units, a large island, appliance space and an oil fired boiler.

The rear boot room has a timber floor and a door to the garden. A straight staircase leads to an L-shaped first floor landing, from which a passageway gives access to bedroom 1, a double room with a superb open outlook over the surrounding countryside. Bedroom 2 is a spacious double room with superb views, and bedroom 3 is a smaller double room with built-in storage cupboards, and a superb open outlook. There is also a first floor bathroom.

Outside there is off road parking, and climbing roses adorn the front of the house. The gardens are enclosed by high mixed hedges and close boarded fencing, and include a large, L-shaped lawn, fir and yew trees, an attractive wildflower area, an area of rough pasture, an oak arbour with climbing roses, space for a shed/outbuilding, an oil storage tank, and a gate to the lane.
