Superb modern country house in a glorious rural setting close to the RSPB reserve and Poole Harbour.
Location
Birchgrove House is situated on the Arne peninsular on the edge of Poole Harbour and about four miles from the ancient Saxon town of Wareham and the historic village of Corfe Castle.
Arne, often known as Dorset’s secret village, nestles in a stunning heathland peninsular that projects northwards from the Isle of Purbeck into Poole Harbour, the second largest natural harbour in the world.
Within this tiny village is the delightful early 13th century church of St Nicholas and a handful of residential properties that stretch down to the shoreline at Shipstal Point.
Arne is in the designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is the centre of the RSPB reserve with some 1000 acres with a unique array of fauna and flora as well as being home to a large herd of Sika deer.
From the property there are spectacular walks and access through a protected woodland and along the harbour shoreline to Shipstal Point and Russel Quay, about ¾ mile from the property.
There are an excellent range of local amenities in the historic town of Wareham approximately four miles including a regular train service to London Waterloo (taking just over two hours).
The larger towns of Poole, Swanage, Bournemouth and Dorchester are within easy driving distance.
Sporting facilities include nearby golf at the Isle of Purbeck Golf Club and the Dorset Golf and Country Club. Horse racing is available at Salisbury and Wincanton and sailing clubs at Ridge and Poole.
There are an excellent range of schools in the area including Canford, Bryanston, Clayesmore, Milton Abbey and the Sherborne Schools together with state schools at Wareham and Poole and Parkstone Grammar School.
Description
Birchgrove House was completed in 2019 and is set within a delightful mature plot extending to just over one acre, in close proximity to the RSPB Nature Reserve and Shipstal Beach, justifiably within a designated area of outstanding natural beauty. The property has most attractive Purbeck stone elevations under a slate roof and was built to a high standard with spacious accommodation arranged over two floors. The property has a traditional country house look from the outside, with contemporary style internally, flooded with light and well insulated. On the ground floor is an excellent high specification kitchen, ideal for a family, with Neff appliances, wine cooler, sink with Quooker boiling water tap, fireplace with wood burning stove, seating area with double doors to a terrace and the garden, sitting room, with fireplace and wood burning stove also with double doors to the terrace and a study. On the first floor is a generous main bedroom suite, guest bedroom suite, two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Outside
The property is approached from a quiet no-through lane which leads to a shared driveway from which a Purbeck stone wall and pillars with electric iron gates gives access to the house. To the front there is ample parking and access to a double garage with electric doors. The gardens surround the house and this glorious sylvan plot is enclosed with a combination of post and rail fencing and impressive new Purbeck stone walls. The garden is attractively landscaped, incorporating a large southerly facing terrace at the rear of the property leading onto a level area of lawn, beyond which is a fishpond enclosed by a further stone wall. There are views from the property towards the protected Nature Reserve land beyond which is a haven for wildlife and there are walks to the coast directly from the property.
Square Footage: 3202 sq ft
