Upper Golf Links Road, Broadstone, Dorset, BH18

THE PROPERTY
Approached through electrically operated gates, a sweeping resin-bound driveway leads to an imposing white-rendered facade with grey stone quoin dressings, leaded-light windows, and a charcoal front door, a handsome interpretation of the Arts and Crafts style so prevalent in this part of Broadstone. A substantial double garage sits to one side, and the quality evident at the entrance continues throughout the entire home.

ACCOMMODATION
The reception hall sets the tone immediately: a generous space laid with herringbone parquet flooring, which continues throughout the entire ground floor and navy blue half-panelling on the walls, a handsome white staircase and fitted under-stairs storage and seating area. A ground-floor cloakroom and a well-proportioned study lead off the hall on the right-hand side, the latter equally suited as a home office or playroom.

A large reception room to the left, currently used as a play or family room, has a dual aspect, with a continuation of the herringbone-style flooring and windows overlooking the front garden. This would make the ideal, snug or formal dining room.

The formal sitting room is a space of outstanding proportions, with leaded-light casements to the side and panoramic windows and French doors to the rear opening onto the terrace, with glorious views over the garden and woodland beyond.

To the rear, an open-plan kitchen, dining and garden room forms the true heart of the home. The kitchen is fitted with white Shaker units, quartz worktops, a terracotta brick-effect tiled splashback and a large breakfast bar return. The adjoining garden room extension has a full-height sliding-door wall opening onto the terrace and a large rooflight above, creating a bright and seamless connection between inside and out. A comprehensively fitted utility room and the integral double garage complete the ground floor. Underfloor heating operates throughout.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom suite enjoys woodland views, a walk-in dressing room with full fitted storage, and a luxurious en-suite with a walk-in rain-head shower, twin basins and a heated towel rail. Four further double bedrooms are well distributed across the landing, two of which are of considerable size, and each benefits from its own en-suite. A well-appointed family bathroom with a bath and a separate shower serves the remaining bedrooms.

OUTSIDE
The rear garden is a standout feature, landscaped to the same high standard as the house. A large stone-tiled terrace with frameless glass balustrade runs the full width of the rear elevation and houses a hot tub within a sunken weatherboarded surround, with outdoor dining and lounge areas alongside. Beyond, the garden is substantially laid to lawn with mature trees and planted borders, a timber pergola with seating, a children’s play area with climbing frame and football goal, and a two-storey children’s chalet at the rear. A gate in the six-foot red brick rear wall gives access to private woodland and, beyond, the open footpaths of Delph Woods.

SERVICES
Mains gas, electricity, water and drainage. Gas fired central heating with underfloor heating to the ground floor and heat mats to all bathrooms and en suites.
