The very well proportioned entrance reception with large built-in cloaks/ storage cupboard is laid with quality engineered oak flooring that continues through to the kitchen/family room which is undoubtedly the hub of this stunning family home. Created and finished to an exacting standard, features include:

This dual aspect room has a window overlooking the front of the property and a large picture window and bi-folding doors to the rear, opening to an expansive non-slip porcelain patio measuring 72m2 - a perfect south facing outdoor space for relaxation or entertaining. A door to the rear gives access to a separate utility room where there is plumbing for a washing machine and access to cupboards housing a pressurized water tank and gas boiler. There is also pedestrian access to the integral double garage which has a remote controlled door.

Returning to the main house, a ground floor cloakroom is located within the turret to the front elevation and includes a useful storage cupboard.

Further social space is provided by the triple aspect lounge which has a classically styled “Minster Stone” fireplace and sliding glazed doors opening to the rear terrace, whilst just next door is a separate dining room which could equally serve as a snug or play/hobbies room.

SELLER INSIGHT

The house has enormous kerb appeal and is very distinctive with its turret design. It stood out for me and my daughter as we were driving past and I particularly liked the overwhelming sense of space and quality,” says the owner.

“I’ve lived here for nearly 3 years and have renovated from top to bottom, inside and out. Everything has been done with ease of maintenance in mind and it’s been put back to how it should be; it’s effectively a new house in a traditional design with neutral décor, so the new owners can move in to a clean, blank canvas and put their own mark on it.”

“Moving to Dorset is a lifestyle change and Ferndown easily facilitates that as it’s so well placed to access the Jurassic Coast where you can explore the beaches and little villages or go for tremendous coastal walks. There is a classy respect and consideration between neighbours which adds to the charm and it’s super easy to access European destinations, including the Algarve and Venice from the brilliant little airport nearby, as well as a good range of amenities in the local area.”

“The garden is private and so quiet that you could literally hear a pin drop. It’s not overlooked at all, so it’s ideal for relaxing and entertaining on the large patio that’s just made for alfresco dining. Having a wraparound south facing garden is a godsend and, as it’s very much a pine-orientated area, there’s always a shady spot to enjoy respite from the sun. It’s easy maintenance, so apart from mowing stripes into the lawn, it pretty much takes care of itself leaving plenty of time to sunbathe and look out for the wildlife and butterflies.”

“The kitchen is the heart of the home where we gather for conversation, cooking, and entertaining. We celebrated a joint birthday party with a private chef experience where all 12 of us easily sat around the granite island. Bifold doors open out to the patio to create a fantastic inside / out space that can be as quiet or as busy as you like. I do enjoy spending time in the triple aspect lounge which is gizmo-free, so it’s perfect to relax with a good book and take in the views, and if I’m not in there, I will most probably be found tinkering on my motorbike or cars in the garage.”*

On the first floor there are five generously sized double bedrooms - the master and guest bedrooms both benefit from luxuriously appointed ensuite facilities, with bedrooms three, four and five served by a superb, spacious family bathroom with free standing roll top bath and separate shower. In addition, there is a further room providing excellent storage space or with potential to create a further ensuite/ dressing room to bedroom three.

Outside, the wrap around grounds extend to almost 0.3 acre and are beautifully landscaped with extensive low maintenance planting and an in-out driveway providing ample off road parking for a number of vehicles. Bounded by feather-edge fencing and laurel hedging to the front/side of the property and stunning pleached espalier trees along the rear and side boundaries, the gardens enjoy a high degree of privacy and are laid mainly to lawn with stepping stone paves and mature specimen trees. There is also a useful garden store within the footprint of the house and accessed from outside.

The property further benefits from cavity wall insulation, loft insulation, and sealed double glazing windows and doors throughout.
