Tucked away in one of Corfe Mullen’s most tranquil settings, this three-bedroom detached house offers a rare chance to acquire almost half an acre of formal gardens plus approximately five acres of private woodland and heathland. Built in the 1990s, the home is solidly constructed and generous in scale, with large reception rooms, a conservatory, and a principal suite enjoying wide rural views. The layout suits family living, entertaining and those seeking an established country retreat close to local amenities.
The property presents a clear opportunity for modernisation: interiors retain classic 1990s fittings and will reward cosmetic and systems upgrades. The detached double garage with adjoining shed provides excellent storage and conversion potential (subject to planning), while the greenhouse and extensive grounds offer scope for rewilding, leisure or small-scale productive planting. Excellent mobile signal and very low local crime add practical appeal for year-round occupancy.
Buyers should note material considerations honestly: the house is described as needing renovation and will require updating to contemporary standards in places. Broadband speeds are slow, which may affect remote working without alternative connectivity solutions. Council tax is noted as expensive. Prospective purchasers should verify heating and electrical service histories despite the presence of a ground-source heat pump and double glazing installed after 2002.
This is a rare package for a family, downsizer or investor who values privacy, outdoor space and long-term potential. With its large plot, private woodland and peaceful setting yet good road links to Wimborne, Poole and Bournemouth, the property suits buyers who want a countryside base with excellent future scope to personalise and enhance value.
