Hillside Road, Corfe Mullen, BH21 3

A beautifully presented semi-detached character home occupying a wonderful semi-rural position on the very outskirts of Corfe Mullen, enjoying an attractive outlook across open fields and countryside beyond from both the principal reception room and principal bedroom, with spectacular sunsets and delightful walks available directly from the doorstep.

Believed to originate from over 100 years ago, the property was thoughtfully enlarged in 2008/2009 and has since been comprehensively improved to create a stylish family home combining period charm with modern comforts. The attractive rendered and weatherboard-clad elevations provide instant kerb appeal, whilst internally the accommodation has been finished to an exceptionally high standard throughout.

The current owners have created a wonderfully elegant and timeless interior, with much of the décor inspired by the classic Laura Ashley aesthetic. Soft colour palettes, quality wallpapers and carefully chosen finishes combine to create a home that feels both welcoming and beautifully refined. Particular features include an impressive oak and glass staircase, oak internal doors, engineered oak flooring and electric underfloor heating throughout both floors with individual room thermostats.

ACCOMMODATION:
A welcoming entrance foyer provides a practical everyday space with bespoke storage cupboards and hanging space for coats. Further into the property, the hallway offers a useful utility cupboard with plumbing and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, keeping household appliances neatly tucked away from the main living accommodation. A beautifully appointed cloakroom completes the ground floor, featuring stylish panelled walls, a wall-hung WC and wash hand basin.

The sitting room enjoys a delightful front aspect towards the neighbouring fields and countryside beyond and is centred around a feature fireplace with inset contemporary stove, creating a cosy focal point during the winter months. Engineered oak flooring flows throughout, complementing the quality finish found across the home.

To the rear, the stunning kitchen/dining room forms the true heart of the property and was created as part of the double-storey addition completed in 2009. Beautifully appointed with shaker-style units, quartz work surfaces and a range of integrated AEG appliances including a double oven, combination microwave, dishwasher and fridge/freezer, the kitchen also benefits from a Smeg induction hob, central island and full-height pull-out larder cupboard. The dining area comfortably accommodates a large table and enjoys French doors opening onto the terrace, creating a seamless connection between inside and out.

The striking oak and glass staircase rises to the first floor where three genuine double bedrooms are served by two beautifully appointed bath and shower rooms.

The principal bedroom enjoys beautiful views across the neighbouring fields together with a walk-in wardrobe and luxurious en-suite wet room. The stylish family bathroom features a freestanding bath, contemporary wall-hung sanitary ware, quality tiling and a separate walk-in wet room style shower creating a luxurious spa-like feel.

The attention to detail continues throughout the home, with quality finishes and a cohesive design theme creating a wonderful sense of comfort and style.

OUTSIDE AND GARDENS
The property is approached via a block paved frontage providing generous off-road parking together with side pedestrian access leading to the rear garden.

The rear garden is a particular feature of the home, extending to approximately 100ft in length and enjoying an excellent degree of privacy. Beautifully landscaped immediately adjoining the property, it centres around an extensive Indian sandstone terrace providing the perfect space for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply relaxing whilst enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
Mature planting, established trees, raised beds and attractive borders create colour and interest throughout the seasons, whilst the generous size of the plot provides a wonderful feeling of space.
Beyond the landscaped terrace is a substantial garden workshop, with power available to the building although currently disconnected. The remainder of the garden is predominantly laid to lawn and left more natural in character, providing a blank canvas for the next owner to landscape or enjoy as they choose.

To the front, the property enjoys one of its most attractive features, with open countryside opposite providing far-reaching views and spectacular sunsets which are regularly enjoyed by the current owners.

LOCATION: Situated on the edge of Corfe Mullen, this superb home enjoys the best of both worlds – a semi-rural setting opposite open countryside, yet within easy walking distance of an excellent range of amenities.
The surrounding area is particularly popular with walkers, cyclists and dog owners, with nearby heathland, woodland and countryside providing miles of scenic routes directly from the doorstep.

Despite its peaceful setting, a surprising number of amenities can be reached on foot, including Henbury View First School, Rushcombe First School and Springdale First School, together with a post office, doctors surgery, Boots pharmacy, Co-op convenience store, cafés, public houses, hairdressers and a variety of takeaway and dining options. Regular bus services are also available nearby, providing convenient links to surrounding areas.

The historic market town of Wimborne Minster is just a short drive away, offering a vibrant selection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities, whilst excellent road links provide easy access to Poole, Bournemouth and the wider Dorset coastline.
