Set on an elevated plot, this four-bedroom detached house offers expansive countryside views and a generous 2,394 sq ft of living space. Built in 1976 with charming natural stone exteriors, the property presents a unique opportunity for renovation and personal customization while retaining its character.
The ground floor features a flexible layout with multiple reception rooms that cater to both family living and entertaining. Upon entry through the porch, a cloakroom is conveniently located nearby. The heart of the home is a spacious dining hall adjacent to the kitchen, which boasts rear-facing views and a solid selection of cabinets. A utility/boot room off the kitchen enhances functionality and provides access to a rear porch. The expansive living room is particularly notable for its light-filled atmosphere and an attractive stone hearth housing an open fireplace.
Upstairs, a sizable landing serves as an ideal study or leisure space, leading to four well-sized double bedrooms—each offering appealing views and access to two family bathrooms. Although the property would benefit from thoughtful modernization, it holds substantial potential for buyers seeking to craft their ideal family residence or even considering the possibility of creating an annex within its existing structure (pending necessary approvals).
Externally, the large mature garden not only enhances aesthetic appeal but also offers ample opportunities for landscaping or recreational use. Beautiful natural stone boundary walls give character and privacy, reminiscent of an old walled garden connected to a nearby farmhouse. The front of the property includes a generous driveway suitable for multiple vehicles alongside a lawned area. Of particular interest is the substantial stone-built barn (measuring 45’ x 13’), believed to date back to the early Victorian period; this structure adds intriguing architectural charm along with significant potential for various uses.
Beyond the barn lies an extensive lawn with an orchard that captures stunning views across Blackmore Vale towards Alfred’s Tower. The rear of the house features a large paved terrace ideal for outdoor relaxation and dining, complemented by steps leading down into both the barn area and main garden expanse.
North Cheriton benefits from its location within beautiful countryside near Blackmore Vale while being just south of the A303 corridor.
