Description

Situated in the scenic Dorset National Landscape, this sizeable character home presents a remarkable opportunity for renovation and investment. With its versatile layout across two floors, the property offers expansive accommodation that can be tailored to meet modern living standards while retaining its original charm. The highlight is undoubtedly the indoor swimming pool complex, which, although functional, may benefit from updates to enhance enjoyment year-round. Upon arrival, the spacious entrance hall welcomes you, leading to a kitchen equipped with a comprehensive range of units that could be reimagined into a more contemporary culinary space. Adjacent is the dining room featuring a log burner and views of the garden, ideal for entertaining guests or family gatherings. The sunroom provides an entry point to the pool area; however, some refurbishment would elevate its appeal. The ground floor includes generous living spaces with a sitting room boasting an open fireplace and large windows that fill the area with natural light. A second sitting room overlooking the garden offers further potential as a snug or study. The utility room could easily transform back into a fully functional kitchen if required and leads to a unique study space with characterful Poundbury mud walls—a perfect setting for creative endeavors or remote work. The first floor accommodates three spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms that would benefit from modernisation but provide ample accommodation for families or guests. Outside, the property sits on a generous plot featuring expansive gardens with southern exposure and countryside views—a blank canvas for gardening enthusiasts or outdoor activities. A detached sauna and barn lend themselves to various uses; with appropriate planning permissions, these could be converted into rental units or additional living spaces. With its location near Martinstown village amenities and scenic surroundings you have not only a residence but also an investment opportunity waiting to be realised.
