Askerswell, Dorchester

A very attractive and spacious individual detached stone house with large beautiful gardens occupying a peaceful village setting. Council Tax Band F, EPC D , Freehold.

The Property - Montana is an attractive, and deceptively spacious, individual detached house, understood to have been traditionally built in the 1970s with later additions, having natural stone-faced elevations. It occupies an elevated position and enjoys lovely views over the village and the surrounding rolling West Dorset countryside.

Within the last 20 years or so, the property has been extended and upgraded to a very high standard. The impressive features include oil-fired central heating with recently upgraded boiler and hot water pressurized system, uPVC sealed unit windows/doors, well equipped kitchen with beech fronted units, Neff eye-level electric oven, Hotpoint electric ceramic hob and plumbing for dishwasher, upgraded en-suite shower room with walk-in shower with mains shower, wood burner to the living room and extensive storage/wardrobe facilities.

The well presented accommodation is both extensive and spacious, enjoying a south-facing rear aspect. There is potential for multigenerational living, the space of the extension would be an ideal suite for elderly parents/children.

The gardens are an undoubted highlight, offering a wonderful mix of different areas for recreation, relaxation and horticulture, and affording plenty of open space for large and active families.
