Three bedroom barn conversion with enormous potential set in 0.44 acres.
The Dwelling - This property is genuinely all about what it could be and not what it is today. Subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents it could be substantially reconfigured and extended to create an outstanding contemporary house with a traditional exterior. Add a rural and peaceful village deep in the Dorset countryside with a pub to its centre and this sale constitutes a rare and unusual opportunity.
Accommodation - The accommodation on the ground floor has a fully fitted kitchen to one end, a sitting room complete with a woodburning stove to the centre, with a galleried hallway and bathroom to the other end. The bathroom is equipped with both a shower and a ball and claw bath while the whole of the ground floor is tiled. On the first floor there are three bedrooms with the galleried landing overlooking the sitting room below, served by a shower room. The property has oil fired central heating and is double glazed.
Outside - On the south side of the barn there is a large area of courtyard laid to a hardstand with another barn opposite, that is in need of refurbishment, framing the space. On the west side of the property there is a parking area and an area of hardstand that was formerly the floor for a covered barn that could make further garden or indeed additional parking. Behind, the ground rises and has in the past been laid to grass and would make an ideal blank canvas for a keen gardener and is punctuated by a number of mature trees including a high yielding Apple.
Services - Private water with a shared bore hole. Mains drainage and electricity. Oil fired central heating.
Broadband - Superfast broadband is available.
Mobile phone coverage - Network coverage is mostly good indoors and good outdoors.
