Set just 1.5 miles from Winterbourne Abbas, this four-bedroom semi-detached house sits on roughly half an acre and delivers far-reaching Dorset countryside views. The generous internal space includes a self-contained one-bedroom annexe at the bottom of the garden, ideal for relatives, long-term rental or short-let income. Large lawned gardens, a rear patio and substantial off-street parking suit active family life and entertaining.
The main house offers a large kitchen-diner with double doors to the side plot, a separate lounge with an electric wood burner, a study, and versatile utility/boot-room with W.C. Three double bedrooms sit on the first floor (the master accessed from a separate stair), with an additional fourth bedroom reached via another staircase and a roomy landing. The accommodation layout gives flexibility for home working and multi-generational living.
Practical details to note: heating is by LPG boiler and radiators (not connected to a community gas supply), glazing is double but install date is unknown, broadband speeds in the area are very slow, and there is a single family shower room for four bedrooms. The house dates from circa 1930–1949 and shows pockets of refurbishment potential — great if you want to personalise finishes but meaning some updating may be required.
For families, the property falls within the Thomas Hardye School catchment area and sits in a low-crime, affluent village setting. Mobile signal is excellent and flood risk is low. Overall this is a spacious rural home with strong income and extension potential, balanced against practical considerations such as LPG heating, limited broadband and the need for some modernisation.
