Letton Close, Blandford Forum, Dorset, DT11

A COMFORTABLE DETACHED HOUSE IN A QUIET AND CONVENIENT LOCATION ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF TOWN.

Built in the 1930’s with painted brick elevations under a tiled roof, Hillside is the original house around which the popular enclave of Letton Close was developed and it has been home to our clients for nearly 20 years. Well maintained and neatly presented the comfortable accommodation extends to about 2,000 sq ft and comprises a large (23 ft) triple aspect sitting room living room with a fireplace and wood burning stove, a conservatory, a separate dining room and generous kitchen/breakfast room also with a wood burning stove. Upstairs there are four good bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms. The house has been well maintained over the last 20 years, double glazed windows have been installed, the kitchen and bathrooms have been upgraded, and it also has the benefit of gas fired central heating. The configuration of the house and space around it on all sides means there is also great scope for extending, and enlarging what is already a very good family home.

Surrounded by tall hedges and close board fencing Hillside sits roughly in the middle of its plot with lawns, colourful mature borders, vegetable beds and a sunny paved terrace on three sides. On the fourth side double gates open onto a wide concrete drive which provides plenty of parking and leads up to a detached double garage with two up and over doors and an attic storage area and a separate timber studio/office building off to one side.

Letton Close is an unadopted road off the A354 (Salisbury road) on the northern outskirts of Blandford Forum. Being on the edge of town there is easy access out into the lovely surrounding countryside, much of which is designated as a National Landscape Area. But the property is also conveniently close to the centre of Blandford, a popular town famed for its classic architecture, bustling market square and one of the finest Georgian churches outside London. The town has services and amenities for most people’s day to day needs including an M&S Food Hall, Tesco and Lidl superstores, and there are plenty of good opportunities for leisure and recreation. There are several golf courses and sports clubs in the area, Dorset’s renowned Jurassic coastline, the New Forest and Cranborne Chase are all nearby, and there are great opportunities for water sports around Poole Harbour and Studland Bay, generally less than 45 minutes away by car.

Communication links further afield are good, the commute to Poole, Bournemouth and Ferndown is straight forward and easy access onto the A31 provides a quick link to the M27 for Southampton and Portsmouth, and the M3 up to London. The A303 and M3 via Salisbury provide another route to London, and Salisbury is the most convenient station with regular trains to London Waterloo (about 1hr 45 mins).
