4 bedroom character property for sale

A superb example of a late Victorian semi-detached former Estate Workers Cottage that has been thoughtfully EXTENDED and IMPROVED over the recent years to offer over 1600 sq ft of family living accommodation. Set in an idyllic spot within the Village of Bryanston, situated less than a mile from the centre of Blandford Forum, this truly wonderful home enjoys COUNTRYSIDE VIEWS in abundance to the rear and the recent extension has been expertly designed and executed by the current owners.

The front elevation of the property is both attractive and FULL OF CHARACTER, with a front garden largely laid to lawn with mature borders and off-road parking for two cars. The well proportioned entrance hall gives way to the family snug/living room with its central fireplace with LOG BURNER creating a lovely focal point, double glazed windows and ample room for cosy winter evenings. A door from the entrance hall also leads you to the most magnificent OPEN PLAN KITCHEN/DINING/FAMILY ROOM with a South West trajectory and open countryside beyond. Bi-fold doors give access to the raised patio for Alfresco Dining, the rear garden and this whole space is an absolute delight.

The kitchen is modern yet country in style with a central island/breakfast bar, Belfast sink, integral dishwasher, bin drawer, Stove gas cooker and plenty of work surfaces and storage cupboards. The space is generous allowing for a family seating area over-looking the garden and a separate dining area with attractive lighting above and a second set of bi-fold doors. A new utility room has been created and houses your white goods and the newly replaced Gas Combi boiler. The extension has also created a new double bedroom with ENSUITE to the ground floor. This bedroom is currently used as a music room and has sound proofed panels to the walls which will be removed by the vendor prior to sale. The VAULTED CEILINGS found in this part of the property only add to the sense of character. The ENSUITE is an attractive white suite with walk-in shower and this room represents a superb option for guests and/or future proofing for the new owners; it also has it's own external door to the garden allowing opportunities for Air B&B or similar if desired.

Upstairs there are 3 more generous bedrooms with the current master facing the front of the house, and the two further smaller doubles, facing the rear. The outlook from the first floor is quite magnificent and enjoys the views of open countryside beyond. The family bathroom services these bedrooms and has a shower over bath and is well presented.

The rear garden is South, South West facing and offers the most extraordinary sunsets into the evening. Backing onto agricultural land with a public footpath running across it, you can easily walk from your garden to the Old Powerhouse (formally Bryanston Club) with it's Portman Room, pool tables, skittle alley, well stocked bar and vibrant social calendar. The OP as it is affectionately known is truly the hub of this Village and is well used and regarded by both Villagers and visitors alike. The rear garden is split into two parts with an additional portion of land being rented which houses a polytunnel, storage sheds and would be ideal if you wish to keep chickens or grow your own produce; the annual rent for this piece of land is currently £52 pa and can be easily renewed for the new owners.
