Set within the restored Stapehill Abbey estate, this three-bedroom freehold home blends Victorian character with modern finishes. High ceilings, arched windows and period brickwork give strong curb appeal, while a bright living room with a feature log burner opens directly to a secluded rear garden. The kitchen-diner includes a large pantry and good built-in storage, and there is the convenience of a downstairs cloakroom. The property benefits from a five-year NHBC warranty remaining and secure gated access with off-road parking plus a double garage.
The house sits on a private road with direct access to 70 acres of landscaped communal grounds, a fountain and a lake — attractive for those wanting low-maintenance, lock-up-and-leave living close to Wimborne and local amenities. Commuters have straightforward road links via the A31; award-winning beaches and local golf clubs are within easy driving distance. Broadband speeds are slow in the area, but mobile signal is excellent.
Practical costs and site details are important: there is an annual maintenance fee of £3,700 and an insurance contribution of £1,200. The development is in an ageing rural neighbourhood classification and the wider area is classed as detached rural retirement — this home will particularly suit downsizers or buyers seeking a characterful, secure community rather than someone needing fast internet or very large private grounds.
Overall, this well-presented property offers high-spec internal finishes, generous storage and secure parking in a distinctive historic setting. Prospective buyers should note the communal service charges and check broadband options if high-speed home working is required.
