Description

AN INDIVIDUAL AND COMFORTABLE SEMI-DETACHED HOUSE IN A SUPERB SETTING.

The original coach house and stable block for Littleton House was demolished and rebuilt in the late 1980’s and our clients family purchased the Coach House when it was new and have owned it for nearly 39 years. Extending to about 1,700 sq/ft the comfortable and neatly presented accommodation has a flexible arrangement of three reception rooms including a sitting room with an open fireplace, a study and a dining room that could easily be merged with the adjoining kitchen/breakfast room to create a generous open plan living room. A separate utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor and upstairs there are three double bedrooms and two bathrooms (one ensuite). Although this individual and rather lovely house has been well maintained, it would now benefit from some simple cosmetic updating, work that might include fitting a new kitchen and bathrooms. The house also has the benefit of having all mains services (gas central heating and no septic tank) and the windows were replaced with double glazed units 10 years ago. All these advantages a long with the ability to introduce your own style and specification go to make Littleton Coach House an appealing and easy to manage home in a very convenient location.

Set well back from the road and approached over the drive to Littleton House the property has well kept and easily managed garden on three sides. To the front a private gravel drive leads between two lawns with mature yews and box hedges up to a parking and turning area in front of small barn/double garage. Behind the house there is a more formal garden that has been specifically designed for low maintenance and easy upkeep. Facing west, it gets the best of the afternoon sun and is predominantly paved with a large, raised bed and attractively stocked mature borders. There is a greenhouse off to one side.

Lower Blandford St Mary is a small village conveniently located just south of Blandford Forum. It is a popular location because of the ease with which you can travel into the town centre and out to many of the other local towns and business centres. Blandford has an attractive Georgian market square and a good range of shops and amenities including M&S food hall, Lidl and Tesco superstores as well as a cottage hospital and the usual doctors and dentists’ surgeries. Further afield, it is an easy drive Wimborne, Poole, Bournemouth and Dorchester. The village is surrounded by lovely countryside and a short drive or brisk walk will take you across the river valley towards Badbury Rings and Kingston Lacey or up on to the rolling countryside that this part of Dorset is renowned for. There are plenty of good opportunities for sport and recreation with numerous golf course, plenty of other sport and social clubs in and around Blandford, Poole and Wimborne, and within half an hour you could be enjoying water sports in Poole Harbour or Studland Bay, walking through the Wareham Forest or along Dorset’s renowned Jurassic coastline. The village is also well placed for travelling further afield with easy access to the A31 and M27 for Southampton and Portsmouth and on to the M3 up to London. The A303 and M3 via Salisbury is another route to London. Poole is the nearest railway station (London Waterloo from about 2 hrs), and Bournemouth and Southampton airports are both within easy reach.
