A HANDSOME AND IMMACULATELY PRESENTED DETACHED HOUSE IN A PERFECT SETTING WITH FABULOUS SOUTHERLY VIEWS

Perfectly situated on the edge of the village with a spectacular southerly view, this handsome detached house was built in 2004 and has been home to our client since 2019. The property has been exceptionally well maintained and updated over the years and the accommodation, which extends to over 2,000 sq ft is neatly presented throughout with oak floors through the hall, kitchen and garden room. At the centre of the house the generous hall opens into a sitting room with a fine Portland stone fireplace, the dining room and kitchen with all three having double doors out to the garden. The family kitchen/breakfast room is particularly impressive and has recently been extended with a fabulous, glazed garden room giving a panoramic view of the surrounding countryside. A separate utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor and upstairs, of the large landing, there are four double bedrooms, two of which have en-suite bath/shower rooms, plus a family bathroom. All the reception rooms and principal bedrooms have the advantage of a lovely outlook, and it is obvious as you walk round the house that it has been well maintained. Since 2014 all the double glazed windows and doors have been renewed and a 4kwh solar system with battery storage has been installed, which along with modern oil-fired heating and high levels of insulation make this an efficient and easy house to manage. All in all, a perfect modern home with spectacular views in a very popular village.

From the approach road electric gates open into a block paved courtyard in front of 4 neighbouring houses, with No.14 having a large area of private parking to the front and access to a double garage with a single electric roller door. To one side there is a neat gravel area with an attractive border, and from the courtyard paths lead around both sides of the house into a modest well kept back garden which is due south facing, has a spectacular view and can be enjoyed with a high degree of privacy. At the bottom of the garden there is a retaining wall with steps down to some productive raised beds and a greenhouse.

The small Woodlands development is nicely positioned on the outskirts of Hazelbury Bryan, a popular Dorset village on the edge of the Blackmore Vale and surrounded by some of the prettiest countryside in this part of the West Country. The village has a thriving primary school, shop and pub (The Antelope), and nearby in Sturminster Newton there is a Co-op mini market, a medical centre, The Exchange a busy local venue, and Harts of Stur, a well-known home/hardware/garden store. It is about half an hours’ drive to the Abbey town of Sherborne with its pretty shopping streets and Waitrose, and to Blandford with its historic Georgian market square, M&S food hall, Tesco and Lidl superstores. There are lots of opportunities for leisure and recreation nearby with good walking, riding and cycling in the countryside around the village, the local beauty spot of Bulbarrow is just across the vale and in under an hour you could be enjoying water sports in Poole Harbour and Studland Bay, exploring the Wareham Forest or walking along Dorset’s renowned Jurassic coastline. It takes about 20 mins to reach the A354, the main road between Dorchester and Salisbury, and from there the commute to Poole, Bournemouth and Ferndown is straight forward, and a quick link onto the A31 takes you to Southampton and Portsmouth via the M27, and on up to London on the M3. The nearest station is Sherborne (London Waterloo just over 2 hrs).
