This recently renovated five-bedroom detached house sits on a very large plot at the edge of Lytchett Matravers, offering a rare combination of modern specification and semi-rural privacy. The heart of the home is a semi open-plan kitchen/dining/living space fitted with premium Miele, Siemens and Neff appliances, a quartz-effect breakfast island and bi-fold doors that open to a low-maintenance south-facing garden and new porcelain terrace — ideal for family entertaining and relaxed outdoor living.
Practical family living is well catered for with two reception rooms (one currently used as a snug/bedroom 5), a separate utility/boot room, downstairs cloakroom and off-street parking for two vehicles. Upstairs there are four generous double bedrooms, including a principal suite with built-in wardrobes and a modern en-suite, plus a contemporary family bathroom. Fast broadband and a smart Nest heating control add useful everyday convenience.
Buyers should note a few factual points: the property is freehold and was constructed in the late 1960s–1970s, with cavity brickwork that appears to lack added insulation. The loft is partly boarded and accessed by a ladder; further conversion would require survey and upgrades. There are only two bathrooms for five bedrooms, which may be a consideration for larger families or those planning to host frequently. Council tax is above average for the area.
Overall, this home will suit families seeking a move-in ready, modernised house in a village setting close to well-regarded primary and secondary schools. It presents immediate comfortable living with scope for further energy improvements and potential loft development for buyers wanting to increase living space in the future.
