A most charming detached house and self-contained annexe with glorious country views and just under one acre close to the Jurassic Coast

Description

Extended a number of times and totally refurbished in 2018/2019. From the porch the front door leads to a spacious open plan kitchen and dining area opening to a breakfast room with Velux window and lovely views towards the hill. First impressions are one of spaciousness and light. Adjacent is the sitting room. Beyond the breakfast room is access to a utility room and a studio with double doors to the outside. A wet room with shower and a laundry room complete the downstairs accommodation in the main house. On the first floor is a generous principal bedroom with en suite bathroom and a nice size balcony taking in the lovely countryside and garden views. There are three further bedroom and a family bathroom.
The 2007 extension was constructed as a self-contained
annexe with its own front door. The accommodation consists
of a hall, open plan space with kitchen, dining and seating area, two bedrooms and a bathroom. The current owners let this accommodation on Airbnb, but this space would be equally ideal for friends, family and guests or possibly incorporated back into the main house if preferred.

Outside
The property is approached from a quiet country lane, with a driveway to the front providing ample parking for the house and guests. The well stocked grounds at Cobblestones are delightful, wrapping around the property and fanning out to the rear. In the front garden is a delightful timber Cabin, providing a space with a bed, a bathroom and a kitchenette. Immediately to the rear of the property is terrace for the main house with fabulous views over open country and leading down to a heated outdoor swimming pool. There is a separate area of decking for the annexe. The garden is mature, colourful and full of interest, with lovely cobblestone walls retaining terraced areas of garden stepping down to the rear boundary. On one boundary is an enclosed play area for children, an area of lawn slopes down to a pretty, kitchen garden and below that is a small paddock with fruit trees, river Char and beyond.
