Description
The entrance begins at ground level, where a welcoming hallway provides access to the substantial DOUBLE GARAGE and a versatile FOURTH BEDROOM/STUDY. Ideal as a guest bedroom, home office or creative workspace, this flexible room sits separately from the principal accommodation, making it perfect for multi-generational living, working from home or visiting family. Stairs rise to the upper floor, where the home's living spaces have been carefully arranged to make the most of the elevated setting.
A spacious central hallway creates an effortless flow between the reception rooms and bedrooms, complemented by excellent built-in storage.
The SITTING ROOM is undoubtedly one of the home's standout spaces. Wonderfully proportioned and flooded with natural light from large picture windows, it enjoys an attractive outlook across the surrounding greenery and neighbouring countryside. An exposed sandstone feature wall adds warmth and character, while a contemporary SMEG™ wall-mounted electric fire provides an elegant focal point. Whether enjoying a quiet evening or entertaining family and friends, this is a room that naturally draws people together.
Positioned between the SITTING ROOM and KITCHEN, the DINING ROOM is perfectly suited to everyday family meals as well as entertaining guests, creating an easy connection between the principal living spaces. From here, doors lead into the CONSERVATORY, which enjoys direct access to the garden and presents an exciting opportunity for a future owner to refurbish and create an additional reception room or peaceful garden retreat.
The KITCHEN offers an excellent range of fitted cabinetry, generous work surfaces and space for informal dining. A BOSCH™ electric hob is paired with a BEKO™ oven, while the striking mosaic tiled splashback adds colour and personality. A large window above the sink frames attractive views of the garden, and the adjoining UTILITY provides valuable additional storage and workspace, ensuring everyday practicality sits comfortably alongside the home's welcoming feel.
The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM enjoys a peaceful position with sliding doors opening onto a private balcony; the perfect place to enjoy a quiet morning coffee or an evening glass of wine whilst appreciating the changing colours of the surrounding landscape, where glimpses of the sea provide a delightful finishing touch to the outlook. Three further bedrooms offer comfortable and flexible accommodation for family, guests or those working from home.
The home is served by both a BATHROOM and separate SHOWER ROOM, each finished with distinctive mosaic tiling that complements the character found throughout.
Lovingly maintained over many years, this welcoming home offers generous proportions, flexible accommodation and beautifully established surroundings. Ready to be enjoyed from day one, it also presents an exciting opportunity for a new owner to personalise and create a home for years to come.
Outside
The gardens have been lovingly nurtured over many years, creating a beautifully established setting with mature trees, colourful planting and well-stocked borders that provide interest throughout the seasons. A timber pergola offers a wonderful spot for al fresco dining or simply relaxing whilst enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
Beyond the main garden, the grounds continue into a delightful orchard, home to APPLE, PEAR and PLUM trees. This enchanting retreat offers the opportunity to harvest your own fruit, embrace the changing seasons and enjoy the tranquillity of its elevated setting. From the top of the orchard, lovely views stretch across the surrounding countryside towards Portland, Chesil Beach and the sea, while a gate provides direct access to the adjoining field and picturesque country walks. The neighbouring fields are often home to grazing horses, further enhancing the idyllic rural setting.
To the front, a driveway provides parking for two to three vehicles and leads to the integral DOUBLE GARAGE.
