Church Street, Wimborne, BH21 4

Orchard House is a substantial and beautifully maintained three-bedroom home, occupying a wonderful plot of approximately 0.44 acres within the conservation area of Sturminster Marshall.

Originally dating from around 1911 and subsequently rebuilt and extended, the property now provides approximately 1,586 sq ft of spacious and exceptionally well-presented accommodation. Its generous proportions are complemented by an impressive kitchen and dining room, a large dual-aspect sitting room and three well-balanced bedrooms.
The extensive gardens are a particularly special feature, extending away from the house to create a private countryside setting with an established orchard and views towards neighbouring paddocks. An extended garage and generous driveway complete this delightful village home, which is offered for sale with no onward chain.

ACCOMMODATION: A spacious entrance hall creates an inviting first impression and connects the principal ground-floor rooms. The generous dual-aspect sitting room offers plenty of space for both relaxing and entertaining, with double doors opening directly onto the rear patio and garden.

At the heart of the home is the superb open-plan kitchen and dining room which benefits from underfloor heating. The kitchen area has a vaulted ceiling with multiple rooflights, filling the space with natural light, while doors provide a lovely connection with the garden. A further side door opens from the dining area towards the driveway and garage.
A comprehensive range of fitted cabinetry is complemented by granite work surfaces, a central breakfast island, and Belfast-style sink. Integrated appliances include a gas hob with extractor, double oven, fridge/ freezer, dishwasher and wine cooler, with space incorporated for further appliances. There is ample room for a full-size dining table and an additional seating area.

A separate utility room and ground-floor cloakroom add further everyday practicality.

BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS: The spacious principal bedroom enjoys views across the gardens and surrounding countryside, together with an extensive range of fitted wardrobes. Its contemporary en suite is finished with clean modern styling and includes a large walk-in shower with rainfall showerhead, fitted vanity storage and WC.
Bedroom two is another excellent double room with fitted wardrobes and an outlook over the garden. The third bedroom is also generously proportioned and offers excellent flexibility as a guest room, child’s bedroom or home office.
The remaining bedrooms are served by the family bathroom, which includes a bath with shower over, wash basin and WC.

OUTSIDE & GARDENS: The beautifully maintained garden is undoubtedly one of the defining features of Orchard House. Extending to approximately 0.44 acres, it offers an exceptional amount of outdoor space and a wonderfully open outlook towards neighbouring paddocks.

A patio adjoining the house provides an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, leading onto an extensive lawn interspersed with established trees, mature planting and an orchard area. A timber pergola creates further interest, while the generous proportions provide plenty of scope for family recreation, growing produce or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

The garden also includes a summerhouse and substantial timber shed, together with an outside water supply positioned to the rear of the property.

GARAGE & PARKING: The property is approached over a generous driveway providing additional off-road parking and access to the extended brick-built garage.
Measuring approximately 22 feet in length, the garage has an electrically operated door, tiled roof, light and power, a Butler sink and excellent storage space. A personnel door provides convenient access from the rear.

LOCATION: Orchard House occupies a delightful position within the conservation area of Sturminster Marshall, a thriving Dorset village surrounded by beautiful countryside and positioned between Wimborne and Blandford Forum.
The village offers a strong sense of community together with a useful range of amenities, including a convenience store, post office, pharmacy, popular primary school, church, golf course and public houses. Scenic walks can be enjoyed beside the River Stour and through the surrounding countryside.

Historic Wimborne Minster is within easy reach, offering an excellent selection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday facilities. The area is also well placed for access to Poole, the harbour and Dorset’s renowned coastline.
Offered with no onward chain, viewing is essential to fully appreciate the substantial accommodation, exceptional garden and special village setting.
