RedcottsWimborne, Dorset, BH21 1EU

A spacious detached chalet style house, built for the current owner in the early 1960’s, having rendered elevations above a Purbeck stone plinth under a tiled roof. The house has gas fired central heating and mostly UPVC double glazed windows. Whilst well maintained, the property would now benefit from modernisation yet offers huge scope for a buyer to improve, extend or possibly even replace the existing dwelling, subject of course to any necessary permissions being obtained.

The hardwood front door opens into an entrance vestibule and then into the spacious reception hall with cloaks cupboard and glazed French doors leading onto the garden. There is a cloakroom with basin and WC. The good size sitting room has a Purbeck stone fireplace and a large south-facing picture window overlooking the garden. Patio doors open into the sun room with full height glazing, a tiled floor and pine ceiling. An archway from the sitting room leads through to the dining room, also with a garden aspect and a return door to the kitchen/ breakfast room. This looks onto the driveway and front garden and is fitted with a range of units, double oven and hob, walk in larder, and a door to the rear lobby and back door. Also on the ground floor are a study or fourth bedroom with picture window onto the garden, and a useful utility room.

From the hall a staircase with hardwood handrail and wrought iron balustrade leads up to the first floor landing, with deep walk in linen cupboard and further store cupboards. The main bedroom has built in wardrobes and a basis set into a recess, plus a door to the third bedroom, currently used as a dressing room with mirror fronted wardrobes, dressing table and drawers, and a shower cubicle. The second bedroom has double aspect windows, built in wardrobes and chests of drawers, and a wash basin. The family bathroom has a bath with shower over, basin, WC and storage.

Outside
Long Orchard occupies a generous and completely secluded plot of about 0.52 acres, approached along a private shingle driveway, part of which is owned by the house. The driveway provides parking and turning areas and leads to the detached Double Garage. The gardens are a particular feature, and are mostly laid to lawn with a wide variety of mature specimen shrubs and trees providing a delightful leafy setting. There is a sunny south facing paved terrace at the rear which then extends around a pond, perfect for outdoor entertaining.
