Elmcroft is a substantial contemporary five/six-bedroom house, presented in excellent condition, with rendered elevations, timber cladding and a slate roof. Extending to approximately 3,450 sq ft, it has been thoughtfully designed to maximise natural light and take full advantage of the views across the surrounding countryside.

The house is also highly energy efficient, with underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, a 7 kW solar PV system paired with 15 kWh of battery storage, and an EV charging point. In addition, there is a self-contained one-bedroom annexe and a garage.

The property is approached from Bay Road through a five bar gate onto a gravel driveway, providing parking for several cars and access to the garage. The house is set back behind established planting, with mature trees, shrubs and areas of lawn giving privacy from the road.

The front door opens into an impressive double-height entrance hall with a tiled floor and an open-tread staircase rising to the first floor. Full-height glazing draws natural light through the centre of the house, while double doors lead directly into the principal reception room. Immediately to the left is a fitted wine cooler with an adjoining display cabinet.
The sitting and dining room is a wonderfully generous open plan space, extending to more than 32 feet. It is naturally arranged into separate sitting and dining areas, with a fireplace at one end and wide bi-fold doors opening from the dining area onto the rear terrace and garden.

The kitchen and breakfast room is fitted with an extensive range of wall and floor cupboards with granite work surfaces, together with a central island incorporating a timber top, breakfast bar and sink. Appliances include a Rangemaster cooker with gas hob and electric ovens, an under-counter wine cooler and an integrated dishwasher, with space for a large fridge-freezer.

There is also plenty of room for informal dining, with windows overlooking the garden and surrounding countryside.

The first floor landing is arranged around the double height entrance hall, with a gallery overlooking the hall below. A striking full height glazed gable creates a light filled seating area and frames views across the garden and countryside.

The principal bedroom is a substantial with wood flooring, fitted wardrobes and glazed doors opening onto a private terrace. The en suite bathroom includes a bath, hand basin and WC.

There are four further bedrooms on the first floor. Bedroom two and four are served by a Jack and Jill suite shower room with basin and WC, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a well appointed family bathroom with a freestanding bath, separate shower, hand basin and WC.

The garage provides useful parking and storage.

There is also a stylish, self-contained one-bedroom annexe, comprising a generous king-size bedroom, a snug, a beautifully appointed Neptune kitchen and a bathroom with a bath, hand basin and WC. It has its own private entrance and enclosed courtyard, while an internal connecting door allows it to be incorporated into the main house when required. It is ideally suited to guests, multigenerational living or use as a premium Airbnb, having historically generated approximately £15,000 per annum in rental income.

Outside, the gardens are principally laid to lawn and enclosed 4 by mature hedging, established borders and a variety of trees. A paved and gravelled seating area lies to one side of the house, while a broad timber terrace extends from the kitchen and dining areas, creating an excellent space for outdoor dining and entertaining. This includes a fitted counter with a sink and space for a pizza oven and barbecue.

Beyond, the rear garden enjoys a particularly open outlook across the adjoining fields and the wider North Dorset countryside. Mature trees provide shade and character, while
the generous lawns offer plenty of space for children, games and informal recreation.
