A spacious 5 bedroom detached family home situated on a superb, elevated site extending to about 1 acre, with some magnificent country views over the surrounding countryside towards Win Green and Shaftesbury. In addition to the main house, there is a detached coach house incorporating double garaging and a large, first floor studio which could be used as offices, Airbnb or an annexe.
The original cottage was built in the 18th century, and in more recent years, the property has been substantially extended and now extends to over 2,500 square feet of living space, arranged over 2 floors. There are many outstanding features. In particular, there is a superb kitchen/family/dining area which leads to a large Amdega conservatory overlooking the immediate gardens.
Traditionally built, with red brick elevations, 3 feature dormers and a roof of small plain tiles, the property is connected to mains electricity and water and has double glazed windows and oil fired central heating.
Accessible via a long gravel drive, the property has many outstanding features including the original living room (with a good ceiling height and a floor-to-ceiling open fireplace,) a hand-built framed kitchen, a magnificent conservatory, and a large detached coach house comprising double garaging with rooms above, and a further garage, logstore and workshop.
Horton enjoys easy road access to Wimborne, Ringwood, Poole and Bournemouth.
A wide tiled canopy entrance leads to a large vestibule/study with oak flooring and a door to the garden. A glazed door leads to a long entrance hall with oak flooring and an under stairs storage cupboard. There is a cloakroom with WC, wash basin, quarry tiled floor and built-in cupboards.
The living room, part of the original cottage, has a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace with tiled hearth and adjacent bookshelves, good ceiling height, and double doors to outside. There is also a dual aspect sitting room/library with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and double cupboards.
The superb kitchen/breakfast room has an excellent range of painted, hand-built Smallbone units, 20mm granite work surfaces, stainless steel sink, walk-in larder, Neff stainless steel fan oven, combi microwave, touch-control ceramic hob, extractor, integrated dishwasher, plumbed Bosch American style fridge-freezer, and oak flooring. A walkway leads to a large, western red cedar conservatory built in 1998 by Amdega with a high gabled glass roof, sun blinds, oak flooring, large double glazed window panels, and doors to outside.
There is a utility room with worktop, ceramic sink, units, space for white goods, coat hanging area, and door to outside.
From the hall, stairs with a half landing lead to the split level first floor landing. Bedroom 1 has a dual aspect and superb views over the gardens towards Win Green and Shaftesbury, and an en suite bathroom with bath, wash basin, WC, half tiled walls, and an excellent range of cupboards.
Bedroom 2 is a double room overlooking the front garden, with fitted shelves and cupboards. Bedroom 3 has loft access and a dual aspect over the gardens. Bedroom 4 is L-shaped and has views onto the gardens, and bedroom 5 has a triple aspect over the gardens. Bedrooms 4 and 5 are both currently used as offices.
The family bath/shower room comprises bath, shower unit, vanity unit, wash basin, WC, bidet and half tiled walls.
A long, winding gravel driveway leads into a small paved courtyard. The detached coach house comprises a double garage with up-and-over door, personal door, store and sink unit. A self-contained staircase leads up to a triple aspect bed/sitting room with gabled roof and exposed timbers, and superb views over the gardens and farmland towards Shaftesbury. There is a kitchenette with oak work surfaces, stainless steel Franke sink, cupboards, baskets, open shelves, fan oven, 4-plate electric hob, integrated dishwasher and space for fridge.
