The house is south-facing and has an exceptionally light and airy feeling throughout and looks out over its mature, pretty garden and the rooftops of the village to the South Dorset Ridgeway. It has been the home of the present owners for the past 20 years and has been sympathetically extended and improved with the addition of a large office incorporating a store and cloakroom, and a period-style double garage with a first-floor studio. At the front of the house are two lovely reception rooms on either side of the hall, with a door from the drawing room opening into the south-facing orangery. The attractive kitchen/breakfast room at the rear of the house extends into a cosy sitting room, with a wood burning stove, creating a single large L-shaped room. The kitchen has a lantern roof light, bespoke units and gas-fired AGA with a gas/electric Companion.
On the first floor the principal bedroom and guest bedroom both have ensuite shower rooms. There are two further double bedrooms and the family bathroom, which has separate shower. At the rear of the house on the ground floor is a further ensuite double bedroom.
Preston 1.4 miles, Weymouth town centre 5.4 miles, Dorchester 7.9 miles, Wool station 9 miles (Waterloo 2 hours 28 minutes), Bournemouth International Airport 31.8 miles. (Distances and time approximate).
The White House is situated in the small, scenic village of Osmington, which has a church, dairy shop and tea room and is set against a backdrop of the South Dorset Ridgeway with the Osmington White Horse carved into the hillside. The surroundings provide great walking and riding opportunities and the Dorset Heritage Coastal Path, leading to a little used beach in Osmington Bay, is just a seven minutes' walk away. There is a pub at Osmington Mills plus two convenience stores in nearby Preston. For wider requirements the village is close to the coastal town of Weymouth and the county town of Dorchester, both of which offer an excellent and comprehensive range of shops and local businesses, with Dorchester boasting two Waitrose stores. Direct rail services to London Waterloo are available from nearby Moreton (about 2.5 hours). Bournemouth and Exeter International Airports are both just over an hour's drive away. Dorset is also home to a wide variety of schools from both the state and
independent sectors. Notable independent schools within easy driving distance include Sunninghill, Milton Abbey, Bryanston, Knighton House and Hanford.
