This attractive 1930s detached family home occupies a well proportioned plot along a quiet semi-rural lane, enjoying a peaceful setting with outstanding open views to the rear. Local amenities, country and riverside walks and the nearby trailway are all just a short walk away, while the thriving town centre of Wimborne can be reached on foot in approximately 20 minutes. The property is presented in excellent turnkey condition throughout, offering spacious and versatile accommodation complemented by character features and high quality finishes.

The house is approached via a tarmac frontage providing parking for several vehicles and access to the integral garage. The main entrance is located on the side elevation and opens into a welcoming entrance hall. This light and airy reception space features glazed doors leading to both the kitchen and dining room. A large coat cupboard sits beside the front door, housing the burglar and fire alarm systems, while the generous hallway and open understairs area allow space for statement furniture.

The heart of the home is undoubtedly the impressive open-plan kitchen, lounge and dining room. This superb space is flooded with natural light from windows, a vaulted skylight and two sets of French doors, all of which frame uninterrupted views across the south facing rear garden and the beautifully maintained meadowland beyond.

Travertine natural stone flooring runs throughout this space and continues into the entrance hall. The bespoke kitchen is fitted with a range of custom-made, hand-painted units with pewter handles and granite worktops, together with a comprehensive suite of high quality integrated appliances. These include a new Longstock 110 Deluxe Rangemaster, Miele fridge/freezer, Bosch dishwasher, John Lewis freezer, Miele washing machine and tumble dryer. Further features include two Blanco sinks and a Quooker instant hot water tap. The adjoining open-plan living and dining area easily accommodates generous seating and dining arrangements and is centred around a Stovax log-burning stove, creating a cosy focal point for winter evenings.

A separate sitting room with bay window, oak flooring and a feature limestone fireplace with wood-burning stove overlooks the front of the property. This versatile room could alternatively serve as a fourth bedroom, with a luxuriously appointed ground floor shower/wet room located just across the hallway. The shower room is finished with Porcelanosa tiles and features a Duravit basin and WC, heated towel rail and underfloor heating.

The first floor offers three double bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite dressing room and shower room with basin and WC. Bedroom two also enjoys an en-suite bathroom comprising a bath, basin, WC and heated towel rail. Both rooms take full advantage of the spectacular rear views across open green belt fields towards Delph Woods. Bedroom three has a front aspect and is served by a family bathroom fitted with a Jacuzzi bath, separate shower cubicle, basin, WC and heated towel rail. All bedrooms feature generous bespoke fitted wardrobes and bedroom furniture. Access to the spacious loft is via the principal bedroom.

Externally, the front of the property is predominantly laid to tarmac, providing ample off-road parking and incorporating an electric vehicle charging point. The integral garage is fitted with a remote controlled electric roller door and has loft access, offering potential for conversion or further development, subject to the necessary planning consents. Additional features include a shed with wood store and gated access to the front boundary.

The south-facing rear garden is attractively landscaped, with an extensive Indian sandstone terrace leading onto a lawn that extends to the rear boundary. Palisade-style fencing has been carefully designed to maximise the exceptional views across the adjoining field and towards Delph Woods beyond.
