A delightful 4 bedroom semi-detached late Victorian Lady Wimborne cottage in an idyllic rural location, accessible off a gravelled bridleway which runs between Pine Road and Lambs Green Lane at Corfe Mullen, and just over 1 mile from Wimborne town centre. There are numerous country walks from the house leading to the river and nature reserves. THE PROPERTY IS SET ON A MAGNIFICENT ELEVATED SITE, EXTENDING IN TOTAL TO JUST OVER 1.2 ACRES, WITH STUNNING VIEWS ACROSS THE STOUR VALLEY.
The cottage, which is tucked away and has stunning views from both the front and rear, dates back to circa 1885 and was originally part of Lord Wimborne's estate. Extended in 2001 and 2012, the house still offers potential for enlargement, subject to the necessary planning consents. Services include mains electricity, water and drainage, and there is an oil fired heating system. There is a superb slate floor throughout the ground floor (with the exception of the dining/garden room.)
The property will appeal to purchasers seeking a spacious character home in an idyllic location, and yet enjoying good access to Wimborne town centre, schools for all ages, and the major coastal towns of Poole and Bournemouth, both of which have mainline rail links to London Waterloo.
Agents' Note: There is an uplift covenant on the land dating from 2000. The details of which are to be confirmed by the vendors.
The entrance hall has a useful understairs storage cupboard and shelves, and wall light points. The sitting room has a fireplace with an inset wood burning stove, an arched recess to one side, and wall light points. There is a shower/utility room with corner shower cubicle, fully tiled walls, chrome shower, wash basin, WC, worktop and space for white goods.
Bedroom 4 is a spacious double bedroom with an open outlook.
A particular feature is the superb kitchen/dining/garden room area. The kitchen has an excellent range of Wilsonart Earthstone work surfaces, an inset ceramic sink, a comprehensive range of framed units and a matching island unit. Appliances include a range cooker (with 2 ovens, grill, warming drawer, ceramic top and stainless steel splashplate behind), extractor unit and integrated dishwasher, and there is space for an American style fridge-freezer. There is also a built-in storage cupboard with a slate door.
The family area has a multi-fuel burner with a tiled backdrop, a stable door to the front garden, and double casement doors to the rear garden.
From the kitchen, an arch and walkway lead to the dining/garden room which has a high vaulted ceiling with exposed oak timbers, 3 Velux rooflights and a magnificent full height A-frame window overlooking the garden and field beyond. There is a ceramic tiled floor and a pair of double glazed oak casement doors to the terrace and garden.
From the hallway, a staircase with dado panelling leads to the first floor landing which has loft access. The 3 principal bedrooms have exposed pine floorboards throughout. Bedroom 1 is a spacious room with a fitted wardrobe and a superb westerly view over the surrounding farmland and the Stour Valley. A door and step up lead to an occasional bedroom/study/dressing room with 2 rooflights, laminate flooring and close boarded walls. Bedroom 2 is a spacious double room with a superb view over the adjacent farmland. Bedroom 3 is also spacious and has views over the garden and orchard.
The family bathroom has a modern steel bath with mixer, separate chrome shower and hand spray, wash basin, low level WC, dado panelled walls and blanket cupboard.
Outside, from the bridleway there is a stone driveway leading to a large detached double garage with a high pitched roof, brick and render elevations and a timber wavy board gable. There is parking for at least 6 vehicles.
The small front garden area is laid to shingle for ease of maintenance, and has a large pond and a number of established shrubs. Approaching the house, there is an arbour with climbing roses, golden hops and clematis, with an adjacent paved sun terrace with an established pear tree.
Steps lead up to the lawned rear garden. Adjacent to this area there is a brick outhouse and a second entertaining terrace with pergola and climbing roses. There is a brick garden store. From the lawned area, a gate leads to an area of rough pasture with bee hives, fruit trees and spring flowers, which has a lovely aspect over the adjacent farmland. Between the house and garage there is another large area of lawn with raised beds, grasses, many established shrubs and a timber shed.
A walkway leads to the elevated main paddock which is a gently sloping area of grassland with oak trees and mixed hedges on the boundary with the bridleway. At the top of the paddock there are trees including poplar and holly, and a a superb view over Wimborne town centre.
DIRECTIONS: Leave Wimborne via Julians Road and proceed to the Lake Gates roundabout. Take the second exit, towards Corfe Mullen and, on reaching the Lambs Green pub, turn left into Lambs Green Lane. After 150 yards turn right onto an unmade bridleway, and the property can be found on the right hand side.
