Exceptionally spacious modern country house enjoying a delightful setting in gardens and grounds of over three acres.
Description
Noctuas is a spacious modern country house, occupying a delightfully private and secluded location at the head of a long driveway, and yet in the heart of the village. The house which was constructed in the early 1990’s, has brick elevations under a tiled roof, with wood grain effect UPVC double glazed windows and LPG-fired central heating. In addition, there are solar PV panels to offset energy costs and provide income. It offers excellent family accommodation with generous room sizes and good ceiling heights. The house has been well maintained by the current owner since new, and now offers scope for the purchasers to personalise to their own taste and specification. The current floorplan offers huge potential, if desired, to provide a more open plan layout, add further en suite facilities and possibly extend, all subject of course to the necessary permissions being obtained.
The property offers bright and spacious accommodation with far reaching views from many rooms, and must be viewed internally to be fully appreciated.
A panelled front door with glazed side screens opens into the good size reception hall with cloaks and understairs storage and a guest cloakroom. The sitting room has triple aspect windows enjoying far reaching views, sliding patio doors to the terrace and garden, and a brick fireplace with log burner. The study has a bay window with door to the garden. Approached via glazed double doors from the hall, the dining room has sliding patio doors to the garden, and is adjacent to the generous kitchen/ breakfast room, fitted with an extensive range of oak fronted modern units including a Neff built double oven, Neff ceramic hob with extractor hood over, plumbing for a dishwasher, and there is space for a table and chairs. A door leads to a good size utility/ boot room with a range of fitted units, plumbing and space for washer and dryer, and the LPG fired boiler. A rear door leads out to the carport also giving undercover access to the garage.
A staircase with hardwood turned spindles leads up to the first floor galleried landing which overlooks the reception hall, with a sitting/ study area, and a double door airing cupboard. The main suite includes a generous bedroom with double aspect windows and lovely countryside views, a range of built in wardrobes, chests of drawers and dressing table, and a spacious en suite bathroom with corner bath, separate shower, basin with storage below and WC. Also on this floor are three further double bedrooms, all with built in wardrobes, and the spacious family bathroom with bath, separate shower and WC.
Outside
The house is approached along a private shingle driveway, affording a high level of seclusion. The driveway opens out into a courtyard turning area at the front of the house providing extensive parking. There is a Double Carport, which links the house to the large Garage, currently used as a workshop, with integral bike storeroom, side personal door, power and light and access to a useful loft storage area above the carport.
The delightful gardens lie on three sides of the house with the main aspect being south facing. They include a paved terrace running across the rear of the house, accessed from the three reception rooms and perfect for outdoor entertaining. There is a small pond set into the terrace, but the undoubted feature of the garden is the large kidney shaped pond which has been designed with shallow margins to be a haven for wildlife. The gardens are mainly lawned with a variety of specimen trees and shrubs, and include a summerhouse. Wrapping around the garden is an L shaped paddock with post and rail fencing, and beyond this a further large paddock where there was previously a field shelter. The gardens and grounds extend to about 3.19 acres in total.
Location
Winterborne Zelston is a popular Dorset village on the banks of the picturesque Winterborne stream, with a pretty church, village hall and local pub, the Botany Bay Inne.
The village is conveniently situated just off the A31 about eight miles west of Wimborne Minster and about nine miles south of Blandford Forum, both having excellent amenities, Wimborne having a Waitrose and Blandford an M&S Food store.
Poole town centre with shopping, entertainment and recreational facilities is about 11 miles, and Poole Harbour and its renowned beaches at Sandbanks, about 14 miles.
Trains run from Poole to London Waterloo and the A31 leads directly onto the M27/M3 to London.
The area is well served by excellent independent schools including Castle Court, Canford, Dumpton, Clayesmore and Bryanston.
Great riding, walking and cycling can be enjoyed in The New Forest National Park, which can be joined at Ringwood, and on the Purbeck Hills and along the UNESCO World Heritage Jurassic Coast which starts at Studland Beach.
Square Footage: 2,353 sq ft
Acreage: 3.19 Acres
Directions
From Wimborne, follow the A31 west towards Dorchester for about seven miles, and after passing the Worlds End pub, turn right into the village immediately opposite the Botany Bay Inne. At the bottom of the hill turn right, follow the road over the small bridge, past the church on the right, and proceed up the hill to the top. The driveway to Noctuas is the last on the right, just after Hilltop Barn.
