5 bedroom detached house for sale

A golden opportunity to purchase and upgrade a fabulous property in one of West Dorset's most picturesque villages with the most stunning countryside views and delightful garden.

THE PROPERTY
Tucked away near the heart of the most popular and picturesque village of Corscombe, this wonderful property offers a purchaser the rare opportunity to create a fantastic home in one of the most enviable positions in the village. Dating back to the 1970s, the property is approached via a single country lane with ample parking to the front of the house. This is rare for the village with many properties having no parking at all.

On first entering there is a real sense of charm and space, with a large hall immediately greeting you. This leads perfectly into a fabulous sitting room with floor to ceiling windows, with some of the most stunning views that this part of West Dorset has to offer. This room is perfectly proportioned, with sliding doors opening out to the balcony, ideal for al fresco dining and for entertaining on a nice summer's day. The property offers huge flexibility and scope for improvement, with an integral double garage which could easily be incorporated into the main property (subject to planning,) and perhaps create an open plan sitting and kitchen area taking full advantage of the spectacular views. Also on the ground floor is a study, a kitchen and utility room, and a lean-to conservatory, a perfect place to have a morning cup of coffee. Like many rooms in the house, it is difficult not to smile when looking out of the window. There is also a large dining room on this floor which again could be used for other purposes, including a TV/snug room.

The principal bedrooms are situated on the lower ground floor, ideal for keeping them cool in the summer. There are four in total on this floor, including a master bedroom with an en suite shower room, and a separate family bath and shower room, and a separate small shower room. Although well presented, there is a huge opportunity to upgrade to anyone's taste and wishes.

At the end of the hall are lovely wooden stairs leading up to a spectacular top floor room which would make a fantastic sitting room, or study, or master bedroom, such is the huge flexibility of this special property.

OUTSIDE
The main garden lies to the rear of the property, with a small garden to the front, and a wooden shed. Steps lead down to a large lawned area with a number of specimen trees at the bottom. The garden is incredibly private and very safe for children and animals.

All in all, this is a truly fantastic property in an idyllic yet very convenient location.
