Description
Description
Birchwood House was built in 2023 to 2024, of local Dorset stone and blockwork under timber cladding, under a slate roof. The property benefits from a shared driveway off the village road, with private off-street parking and the attached double drive-in garage.
The house stands in a plot of 0.21 acre and lies in a Conservation Area, amongst other houses, on the southern edge of the village. The local greenstone combines well with the timber cladding to present Birchwood House as a neatly finished turnkey house, with a light and bright neutral décor.
Internally, the house flows very well, with a welcoming entrance hall giving access to all the key ground floor rooms. The vaulted ceiling provides a great sense of space and light, enhanced by the modern finish with timber hand rails and glass balustrades on the stairs and first floor landing.
There is a guest cloakroom with WC off the entrance hall.
The kitchen has been beautifully appointed with a large island fitted with an AEG induction hob and integrated extraction fan and AEG wine fridge. There are two seating areas for two around the island and plenty of storage. Built in cupboards house two stacked AEG ovens, an integrated fridge and a freezer, with a dishwasher alongside the sink. Bi-fold doors open out from the dining area within the kitchen to the rear terrace. Beyond the kitchen is the utility room with sink, built-in storage and plumbed space for a dishwasher and tumble dryer.
Double doors open enfilade from the kitchen into the double aspect sitting room, with an open fireplace of Bath stone and engineered oak floorboards. Further bi-fold doors also open onto the rear terrace. There is a home office/study and a door leads through to the integrated double garage with electric up and over door.
Upstairs, the spacious landing overlooks the vaulted entrance hall, with four bedrooms off. The principal bedroom has a walk-through dressing room, with en suite shower room. An equally impressive guest bedroom has an en suite shower room, with an open dressing area (to fit out). Two further bedrooms share the family bathroom with walk-in shower and free-standing bath.
OUTSIDE
The property is approached from a shared private driveway, onto a gravelled parking area with direct access to the double integrated garage. A lovely Silver Birch stands proudly overlooking the grounds to the front. A path leads down the side of the house to the rear terrace and garden. Newly developed, the grounds are very much a blank canvas for an incoming owner to put their mark on and landscape to suit. The grounds are enclosed with close-board fencing.
Location
Fontmell Magna is a charming village on the Blackmore Vale, with a strong community, an active village hall, public house and shop. The village itself lies between the two thriving market towns of Shaftesbury (4.5 miles) and Blandford Forum (9 miles), both of which offer a wide range of day-to-day amenities including medical, dental and veterinarian surgeries. Sherborne (20 miles), Salisbury (26 miles) and Bath (36 miles) all offer a much wider range of leisure, cultural and shopping amenities.
For transport links, there is a direct rail service from Gillingham (9.7 miles) to Waterloo (2 hours) and from Castle Cary (23 miles) to Paddington (90 minutes).
Bournemouth Airport is about a 40-minute drive away and Bristol, Exeter and Southampton offer a wider range of domestic and international flights, all within a reasonable drive.
The surrounding area is renowned for its educational choice from both the state and private sectors. The choice from the latter is extensive and includes Clayesmore, Bryanston, Milton Abbey, Canford, the Sherborne schools, Hanford, Knighton House,
Leweston, Sandroyd, Hazlegrove and Port Regis.
