A substantial four to five bedroom semi detached home with a fully self contained three bedroom annexe, set within the peaceful Dorset village of Manston in the heart of the Blackmore Vale, just two miles east of the market town of Sturminster Newton. Sitting within a quiet and private rural setting of approximately 0.5 acres, the property backs directly onto open fields with far reaching views towards Hambledon Hill, enjoying a wonderful sense of space and tranquillity throughout.

The main house offers a wonderfully flexible and characterful family home with an impressive entrance hall, a sitting room with woodburner and double doors to the garden, a well appointed modern kitchen with woodburner, utility room and a study which, given the presence of a ground floor WC, could equally serve as a fifth bedroom if required. Upstairs four generous double bedrooms are found, the main bedroom benefiting from an en suite and fitted wardrobe space, with a family bathroom serving the remaining rooms.

The self contained three bedroom annexe sits alongside, offering enormous potential as a holiday let or multi-generational living, complete with its own well appointed kitchen lounge diner, bathrooms and a large boarded loft space.

Outside, the main house enjoys a large lawned garden with a generous stone paved terrace and a wonderful open sided canopy summer house, backing onto open fields with beautiful countryside views beyond. The annexe benefits from its own private south westerly facing garden. A large timber framed garage and carport complete the plot.

The Property

Inside

Ground Floor
Entering through the front door into the entrance hall, this is a truly impressive space that sets the tone for the whole property. Well proportioned and full of character, it has the feel of a grand reception hall and could equally serve as a formal dining room, making it a wonderfully versatile introduction to the home.

The sitting room is a generous and characterful reception space with a woodburner creating a wonderful focal point, with double doors opening directly out to the patio and garden beyond. A study is also found on the ground floor, a well proportioned and versatile space equally suited as a home office, additional reception room or, given the presence of a ground floor WC, a fifth bedroom if required.

The kitchen is a well appointed space, fitted with shaker style units and a generous amount of worksurface with a good range of built in appliances throughout and room for a dining table. A woodburner adds warmth and character to the room and a window looks out to the front of the property. A utility room leads directly off the kitchen, providing useful additional storage and laundry space. A ground floor WC completes the accommodation at this level.

First Floor
Stairs rise to the first floor landing where four well proportioned double bedrooms are found. The main bedroom is a particularly generous room, benefiting from an en suite shower room and a good amount of fitted wardrobe and storage space. Three further double bedrooms are found, all enjoying wonderful countryside views, served by a well appointed family bathroom.

Annexe

The annexe is a fully self contained three bedroom home in its own right, offering an exceptional amount of flexibility and potential. Entering directly into a generous open plan kitchen lounge diner, it is a bright and versatile everyday living space with good proportions throughout. Three double bedrooms are found, served by a bathroom and a separate WC. A large boarded loft space offers further useful storage. With its own completely self contained layout, the annexe lends itself beautifully to multi generational living or presents excellent potential for holiday letting, making it a truly versatile addition to the property.

Outside

Garden
The main garden is laid mainly to lawn, enjoying a good level of privacy and backing directly onto open fields with wonderful countryside views beyond the boundary directly towards Hambledon Hill. A large stone paved terrace creates an excellent entertaining space and a wonderful open sided canopy summer house adds a charming and characterful feature to the plot. A garden shed is also included within the plot.

Parking
A large garage and carport sit within the plot, both with boarded ceiling storage above, providing an excellent amount of covered parking and storage space alongside driveway parking for multiple vehicles.
