Summary - Court Gardens, Frampton DT2 9NH
About 4.5 acres of mature gardens, ponds and parkland
Court Gardens is a substantial detached country house set in about 4.5 acres of formal gardens, ponds and parkland, tucked down a private no-through lane on the edge of Southover. Built in 1992 to a traditional brick-and-flint design, the house combines period-style character with modern comforts: tall windows, multiple reception rooms, a Ham stone fireplace, Aga, and a newly fitted ground-floor bedroom and bathroom.
The grounds are a principal selling point: mature specimen trees, three wildlife ponds, a heated outdoor pool with terrace, long lawns and direct frontage to the River Frome. There is a large gravelled drive, double garage with workshop and generous ancillary storage — a rare package for buyers seeking privacy and extensive outdoor space. Planning permission is already approved for a large ground-floor extension to the kitchen and a first-floor master en suite and dressing room, providing clear scope to increase living space.
Practical considerations are straightforward and stated: the property is served by oil-fired central heating, broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average. The plot is large and will require ongoing garden and pool maintenance; some areas may need periodic refurbishment. There is a medium flood risk to note because of nearby ponds and the River Frome, so buyers should obtain specialist advice and insurance quotes.
This house will appeal most to families wanting an estate-like garden, buyers seeking countryside privacy with convenient access to Dorchester, or those looking to implement the approved extensions. The property offers immediate comfortable living with realistic scope to adapt and expand — subject to the usual surveys and specialist checks.
