White Lackington, Piddletrenthide, Dorset

A modern property in a peaceful secluded location with river frontage, four bedrooms, double garage, and wraparound gardens.

The Property - Constructed in 2004, Waters Edge is a beautifully presented period-style home set in a peaceful and secluded position, fronting the gently flowing River Piddle. Tucked away on a quiet no-through road, the property was built to a high standard and offers spacious, light-filled accommodation across two floors, with lovely views over the gardens and surrounding countryside.

The ground floor features a generously sized, triple-aspect sitting room with a wood-burning stove and French doors opening out to the garden. The kitchen has a range of wall and base units, a one-and-a-half bowl stainless steel sink with drainer, and integrated dishwasher. There’s space for a fridge-freezer, along with an electric oven and four-ring hob. Adjoining the kitchen is a practical utility room with additional storage, space for white goods, and access to the garden. The dining room is a bright and comfortable space with doors opening outside. A cloakroom completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room, while bedrooms two and three also include built-in storage.

Outside - The gardens are a true highlight. Double wooden gates from the lane open onto a gravel driveway with ample parking and a detached double garage with power and light. A pathway wraps around the property, with a separate pedestrian gate at the front. To the rear, a raised terrace overlooks the main lawn, which gently slopes down to the river. The garden is exceptionally private and features a rich variety of mature shrubs, flowering plants, and several established trees including Beech, Willow, and various fruit trees.

Situation - Waters Edge is situated in White Lackington, set between Piddlehinton and Piddletrenthide, in the heart of the Piddle Valley. Piddletrenthide offers a modern first school, village shop, two public houses, village hall and a range of local activities.
