Tower Close, Chalbury, Wimborne, BH21

Tucked away in a peaceful cul-de-sac in the sought-after village of Chalbury, this attractive four-bedroom detached home offers a wonderful combination of space, style and countryside living. With a south-facing rear garden, views towards the iconic Horton Tower and around five miles from Wimborne, it is a property that feels removed from the everyday, whilst remaining conveniently placed for local amenities and connections.

The house has been thoughtfully refurbished by the current owners and is presented in excellent order throughout. The accommodation is particularly well suited to family life, with four genuine double bedrooms, generous reception space, a modern kitchen/breakfast room and useful additional accommodation created from part of the former double garage.

The Situation

Wimborne is a thriving market town in East Dorset, renowned for its welcoming atmosphere, attractive historic centre and excellent range of amenities. The town offers a varied selection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday services, making it an appealing place to live for all ages. Well connected by road via the A31, A35 and B3081, Wimborne is within easy reach of Bournemouth, Poole and the surrounding Dorset countryside. A comprehensive local bus network also provides convenient public transport links throughout the area. Steeped in history, the town is centred around the magnificent Minster Church of St Cuthburga, believed to date from around 705 AD. Its celebrated chained library is one of only four of its kind in the world, while the Minster’s distinctive twin towers form an impressive backdrop to the town’s characterful streets and period architecture. Residents are well served by a broad range of local facilities, including doctors’ surgeries, a community hospital, highly regarded schools and established health and social care services. Leisure opportunities are equally plentiful, with the town ideally placed for exploring Dorset’s beautiful countryside, bridleways, footpaths and dramatic coastal routes.

The Property

The spacious reception hall sets the tone for the property with a good sense of light and space throughout. The utility room and modern cloakroom are conveniently positioned off the hall, making the arrangement both practical and easy to live with.

The dual-aspect sitting room is a particularly inviting space, featuring engineered oak flooring, a brick fireplace with wood-burning stove, a bay window overlooking the front and French doors opening directly onto the rear garden.

At the heart of the house is the impressive kitchen/breakfast room, again with French doors opening onto the garden. The kitchen has a good range of Shaker-style cabinetry, complemented by solid oak worktops and a Rangemaster oven with gas hob, together with integrated fridge, freezer and dishwasher. There is ample room for a dining table, making this a natural hub for everyday family life.

Upstairs, the galleried landing leads to four well-proportioned double bedrooms.

The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, whilst bedroom two is a lovely dual-aspect room with views towards Horton Tower.

Bedrooms three and four overlook the rear garden and are both comfortably sized doubles.

A well-appointed family bathroom provides a bath, separate corner shower, wash basin and WC.

Outside

The property is approached via two gravel driveways, providing excellent off-road parking and access to the former double garage. One garage remains as a useful traditional garage with power, lighting and an up-and-over door. The other has been cleverly converted to provide a versatile home office and playroom/store, with power, lighting and French doors leading out to the garden.

The south-facing rear garden is private, enclosed and attractively maintained. A combination of lawn, patio and established flower and shrub borders creates a pleasant outdoor space.

With its peaceful setting, attractive outlook, flexible accommodation and beautifully maintained south-facing garden, this is a home that offers the best of village and country living. The views towards Horton Tower are an especially appealing feature and help give the property a real sense of place.
