Description

This charming rural property derives its name from its location, with Lovelaces Copse still showing on OS maps today. The house is understood to have been built in the 1970s and provides spacious, light and extremely well presented accommodation over two floors. The house has part rendered, part timber clad elevations under a tiled roof and from nearly every room there is a view over the garden, open country and the surrounding hills. On the ground floor a spacious entrance hallway in the centre of the house leads to a good size, well fitted family kitchen with AGA and seating area, beyond that is a utility room, and a splendid dining area with a long view over one of the paddocks and the Blackmore Vale beyond. The south east elevation provides a particularly spacious triple aspect sitting room with contemporary style wood burning stove. In the west wing is a cloakroom, a study and a ground floor guest suite. On the first floor is a nice, large landing and a good size principal bedroom suite with a cathedral style window framing the southerly view down the valley. There are three further bedrooms (one en suite, one in use as an additional dressing room), a family bathroom and access to a southerly facing terrace.

Outside
Lovelaces Copse is situated in a glorious rural location where the South Dorset Chalk Downs give way to the Blackmore Vale under the dramatic Dorset Gap. From the lane electrically operated gates open onto a private drive that runs past the stabling and culminates in a turning circle around an oak tree to the front of the house. On the south side is a large terrace with seating area and fire pit, a BBQ hut, sauna, hot tub and pond. To the rear of the house is an area of lawn, terrace and a charming goat pen. Beyond that is one of three paddocks which rises gently to the rear of the plot and has access to water. To the west is a smaller paddock with a field shelter. Adjacent to that are the buildings, consisting of a stable block with 6 loose boxes and additional block with tack room, feed store and storage, a tractor shed and a superb barn. The barn provides garaging for two cars and a WC on the ground floor and steps lead up to an outstanding studio space above with a shower room and picture window framing a view over the all weather arena and lower paddock with mature oak trees providing a parkland feel.
