Hinton ParvaWimborne, Dorset, BH21 4JG

Formerly three smaller estate cottages, Hinton Retreat was sympathetically converted into a spacious family house with most appealing elevations of red brick and render under a tiled and slated roof. Cleverly combining period character with contemporary style, this much-loved home offers a wealth of character features, excellent room sizes, and a versatile layout which could be arranged to suit a purchaser’s needs. Planning permission was granted in 2011 for the garage block, yet there is still an opportunity to create a two-storey extension yet to be built which would provide a large ground floor room with doors onto the garden and a new main bedroom suite above. The house has the benefit of LPG fired central heating and double glazing.

The front door with beamed porch over opens into the hall, and then into the large open plan kitchen/ dining room. The kitchen area is fitted with a range of modern units incorporating a dishwasher and space for a fridge/ freezer. A four oven Aga is set into the original brick inglenook with beam over, and there are French doors to the garden. Adjacent is the utility room/ prep kitchen which also has a modern range of units and includes a sink, electric oven and ceramic hob. There is a separate boiler room. The triple aspect sitting room has a handsome brick inglenook fireplace with stone surround, feature beams and French doors to the garden.

The rear hallway has a guest cloakroom, and stairs leading up to the first floor landing. The main bedroom has double aspect windows and a sleek modern tiled shower room with glazed shower, basin with storage beneath, and WC. There are three further characterful bedrooms, and a modern family bathroom which features a bath and separate shower.

Outside
A shingle driveway leads to an extensive parking and turning area at the front of the detached Garage Block. This has three sets of timber doors but is currently arranged as a workshop and garden room on the ground floor, and a pottery studio with sink on the first floor.

The delightful gardens and grounds are a particular feature, extending to around 1.6 acres and providing a secluded wooded setting for the house. They are mainly lawned and include a large wildlife pond with a decked terrace perfect for birdwatching. There is a large terrace for summer entertaining, areas of wildflower meadow, and a wide variety of mature shrubs and trees forming an attractive green backdrop.

Agents Note
The owners are not able to confirm that the existing septic tank is compliant with current legislation. Prospective purchasers are advised to make their own investigations and reflect this in any offers made.
