Mill Lane, Chetnole, Dorset DT9

A spacious detached village house, built in the 1980's and occupying a quiet and highly regarded position within the sought-after village of Chetnole.

Offering flexible and adaptable accommodation, Gables combines generous proportions with practical living, together with a flat rear garden, integrated double garage and excellent potential to update or reconfigure over time. Thoughtfully adapted in recent years for wheelchair access, the house is equally suited to accessible living, multi-generational occupation or more conventional family use.

The House
Gables is a well-balanced detached house offering spacious accommodation arranged over two floors. The property has been carefully maintained and is presented in good order throughout, whilst also providing clear opportunity for an incoming purchaser to modernise or tailor the layout to suit their own requirements.

The ground floor flows comfortably, with a particularly generous double-aspect sitting room providing an excellent principal living space with an abundance of natural light throughout the day.

A separate dining room offers further flexibility for entertaining and family life, whilst the conservatory to the rear enjoys a pleasant outlook over the garden and creates an additional sense of light and connection to the outside space.

The kitchen enjoys direct access to the garden and is well positioned alongside a practical utility room, while a separate study provides valuable additional space for home working, hobbies or occasional ground floor accommodation if required.

In recent years, the house has been thoughtfully adapted to accommodate wheelchair access, including the installation of a lift connecting the sitting room with the principal bedroom suite, together with a ground floor wet room. These additions have been carefully incorporated and offer valuable flexibility for a wide variety of purchasers.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is particularly generous and benefits from an ensuite bathroom. Three further double bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, allowing the house to function equally well for families, visiting guests or those seeking long-term practicality and flexibility.

Throughout, Gables offers calm and versatile accommodation with the underlying proportions and adaptability increasingly sought after in village homes.

Outside
The property enjoys a flat rear garden, predominantly laid to lawn and designed to be both manageable and functional, together with driveway parking and an integrated double garage.

Mill Lane is one of the village’s most attractive settings — a quiet residential no-through lane made up predominantly of individual detached homes, creating a strong sense of space, privacy and tranquillity that is increasingly difficult to find.
