5 bedroom house

Chestnut House was an early 20th Century farm building, converted some 40 years ago to create in excess of 4,000 sq.ft. of accommodation providing a superb work/home lifestyle set within delightful grounds including plenty of parking, a garage and lovely views across open paddocks with local trailway within easy reach.

Living space within the property includes five double bedrooms, served by a stylishly appointed bathroom on the first floor as well as a shower room on the ground floor. The welcoming entrance hallway gives access to the large sitting/dining room which has an exposed brick fireplace with woodburner and French doors leading out to the good size conservatory overlooking the rear garden. The recently re-fitted kitchen/breakfast room has an excellent range of base, wall and tall units including integrated appliances. There is also a separate utility room and boot room/study.

Generous workspace is arranged over the two floors offering versatility with a workshop on the ground floor and studio with adjoining cloakroom on the first floor accessed via stairs from the garden store room. There is potential to convert this area to further living space or to create a self-contained annexe or Air B&B, subject to the necessary planning consents.

The property is immaculately presented throughout and further benefits include double glazing and gas fired central heating along with a good Broadband service.

Outside, the delightful grounds of 0.4 acre are arranged over two levels with extensive planting and borders as well as a selection of fruit trees.

A sun terrace is located on the south facing side of the house together with a newly designed kitchen garden, whilst a stone water feature creates a particular focal point. Open views across paddocks beyond the garden extend to the trailway and woods with far reaching country walks nearby.

The village of Spetisbury lies a few miles south of the Georgian Market town of Blandford Forum with its Market Square and a good selection of independent retail outlets and cafes, as well as an M&S Food Hall, Tesco, Morrisons and Lidl supermarkets. Well regarded public and state schools and local sports centres are also within easy reach.
The village enjoys a thriving community with local bar and farm shop, primary school, church and village hall all of which are surrounded by beautiful countryside - trailway and river walks are nearby! Other amenities within easy reach include Ashley Wood Golf Course and the National Trust Estate of Kingston Lacy, whilst a few miles north is the Cranborne Chase - an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and to the east, the New Forest National Park. The world renowned Jurassic Coast to the south is just a short drive by car.

Locally there is a regular bus service to Blandford and Poole and it is an easy commute to the Bournemouth/Christchurch/Poole conurbation for those working in the area. The main road network links to the A31 and M27/M3 to London are easily accessible and the express train from Poole to Waterloo ensures the city is within reach in a couple of hours. For wider travel, there are airports at Bournemouth and Southampton and a ferry terminal at Poole.
