4 bedroom detached house

A STUNNING RIVERSIDE HOUSE WITH STYLISH ACCOMMODATION AND FABULOUS VIEWS OVER THE WATER MEADOWS

With a fabulous open plan living space and one of the best views in Wimborne, 129 Merley Ways had already been re-designed and extended when our clients purchased it in 2014. Since then, they have upgraded the kitchen and the utility room, replaced all three bath/shower rooms and re-landscaped the gardens to make the most of the wonderful riverside setting. Presented in a fresh contemporary style the accommodation extends to about 1,800 sq ft. From the entrance hall, the dining area flows into an open plan sitting area with a wonderful outlook, an arch to the kitchen/breakfast room and large sliding doors out to the garden. The cleverly designed kitchen features a breakfast area with a view of the river and a separate utility room. Upstairs there are three good bedrooms and two smart modern bath/shower rooms. Off the dining area an inner hall leads to a ground floor shower room and a staircase up to a guest (4th) bedroom which would make an excellent office for anyone working from home. The whole house is immaculately kept and stylishly presented throughout with upgraded double glazing and gas fired heating.

Located on the lower part of Merley Ways in an elevated spot above the river the outside of 129 Merley Ways is as well presented and immaculately kept as it is inside. To the front a block paved drive provides parking for two or three cars in front of the useful secure store (or motor bike garage) and the small lawn and borders are neatly kept. To one side and a paved path leads to the back garden where a series of new garden walls retain lawns, beautifully stocked borders and paved sitting areas where you can sit and enjoy the view in the afternoon sun. Steps lead down to the bottom of the garden where you have direct access to the river and fishing rights.

A popular residential area on the edge of Wimborne provides the perfect location for 129 Merley Ways. The bustling town square with its cafes, restaurants, cinema and shops (including Waitrose) is close by and in contrast a brisk walk will take you down to the riverside and the lovely countryside around the town. Wimborne lies on the southern tip of the Cranborne Chase and Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) which provides lots of opportunity for walking, riding, cycling and in less than half an hour you can be enjoying water sports in Poole Harbour, Studland Bay and along Dorset’s renowned Jurassic coastline.

Communication links from Wimborne are excellent, Poole, Bournemouth and Ferndown are easily commutable and quick links onto the A31/M27 makes the drive to Southampton and Portsmouth, and onto London quite straight forward. Poole is the nearest station and has regular trains to London Waterloo in 1½ to 2 hours. This area has also become popular because of its wide selection of schools at all levels. As well as primary and state secondary schools in Wimborne, Poole and Parkstone offer grammar schools, and independent schools nearby include Canford, Bryanston, Clayesmore and Milton Abbey; and prep schools include Castle Court, Dumpton, Hanford and Sandroyd.

All mains services are available at the property. Gas fired radiator central heating (new boiler 2020). Good Broadband.
