Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
  • Spectacular views from expansive garden
  • Scope for renovation (STPP)
  • Original mid century design
  • Tucked away in quiet location
  • Close to popular village amenities
This mid-twentieth century gem, set within approx. 1/3-acre garden is a wonderful opportunity to renovate and create a place anyone would be proud to call home. Built in the 1950’s a time of modernism and excitement for the future, with Sputnik and the Space Race just around the corner. The property reflects the futurism of the time and retains many of the features of that era.

The frontage to Knollsea is charming, but the wow moment is at the back of the property where the extensive gardens roll into the Purbeck countryside and hills beyond.

Walking up the sunny front garden to the double front doors, you step into the spacious ENTRANCE HALL, from which all rooms lead. To your right is the SITTING ROOM, a particularly generously sized room with a large bay window, which floods the room with sunlight. An open fireplace makes this the perfect spot to curl up on a winters evening.

To the left of the hall are the bedrooms. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM, a light and airy room with a large bay window, and masses of space making maximum use of the spectacular views across open countryside. The second DOUBLE BEDROOM looks out to the sunny front garden, and again is of exceptionally large proportions.
At the end of the hallway is the BATHROOM, with a traditional bathroom suite with the original tiling.

The KITCHEN again focusses on the spectacular rural views. All of the original features are retained, along with a separate pantry and room for a dining table. From here, you can access the rear garden through a side door and through a sheltered passage enter the garage, which in turn has its own spectacular rural views.

Outside
After parking in the private DRIVEWAY walk down the path across to the FRONT GARDEN. This space provides great scope for garden lovers to build and create something rather special, presently, laid to lawn and beds with some established trees.

Walking through a secure passageway to the REAR GARDEN where the spectacular location is laid out in front of you, a surrounding of trees, hills and expansive skies. You will find a wide terrace, vegetable beds, rolling lawns surrounded by further established trees, a shed and plenty of space for a greenhouse.

The terrace here, at the back of the Knollsea, gets sun all day through to early evening. A perfect spot for a BBQ, lunch or drinks and nibbles with friends.

At the end of the garden, you can easily create access through to the field beyond, which has a footpath running across it, either towards Swanage, or up to Nine Barrow Down.

Location
This well-loved bungalow, is set back from Harmans Cross on the quiet lane known as North Instow. Travelling out of North Instow and turning right, just past the garage is the crossroads. On the right is Tabbits Hill lane, which leads to the footpaths up onto Nine Barrow Down, with its spectacular views and routes to Swanage or Corfe along the top.

To the left at the crossroads is Haycrafts Lane, which runs up to the top road and has footpaths leading off it to Langton Matravers on the left through the fields, or towards Corfe on the right again through fields. Both sides have glorious views over Purbeck.

The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
