Summary - THE GATEHOUSE, 16 WITCHAMPTON MILL WITCHAMPTON WIMBORNE BH21 5DE
5 bed 5 bath Detached
Extensive gated grounds, conservatory and en suites — ideal family home in AONB.
Approximately 7,100 sq ft of living space across two floors
Set within about 1.5 acres in the historic village of Witchampton, this exceptionally spacious detached home offers nearly 7,100 sq ft of carefully specified living space. Built c.2003–2006 to a high standard, the house combines traditional external materials with modern, state-of-the-art fixtures: oak joinery, limestone and oak floors, bespoke Kitchen Elegance units and integrated Miele appliances. A spectacular double-height conservatory, a striking oak staircase and a Scandinavian Scan wood-burning stove are standout interior features. All five bedrooms are doubles with en suite bathrooms, providing ready-made family or guest accommodation.
Externally the gated grounds are a major asset: landscaped gardens, terraces, a trout-filled mill stream with fishing rights, paddock, long gravel driveway, and multiple garages including a timber cart-shed workshop. There is clear scope to add leisure facilities such as a pool or tennis court (subject to planning). The property sits in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with attractive village amenities and good independent and state schools within easy reach.
Buyers should note material practical points frankly. Council Tax is Band H and therefore very expensive. Flooding risk is assessed as medium and the property relies on LPG-fired boilers (two condensing units) rather than mains gas. Mobile phone signal is reported as none on site and drainage is via a private estate system. These factors are important for ongoing running costs, insurance and connectivity expectations.
This house will suit families seeking generous entertaining and living space, professionals or active retirees wanting privacy and grounds to enjoy. The adaptable layout and generous plot also appeal to buyers looking for a long-term family home with potential to adapt services and landscaping to personal requirements.
