Benville Lane, Corscombe, Dorchester, DT2

Detached family home with 2 x one bedroom cottages, a fantasic workshop, and outbuildings, in delightful gardens and grounds of approximately 4.548 acres. THE PROPERTY Approached by its own sweeping private drive and tucked away on the edge of the pretty hamlet of Benville, first glimpses of Rushbrook House are most impressive with its very attractive faade constructed of flint and brick under a pitched tiled roof (the property was built in 1999.) To either side of the driveway are fields and paddocks ideal for ponies and livestock, with a double garage and parking to the front of the house. It is an incredibly idyllic and peaceful setting, a utopia for children and animals. On first entering the property there is a real sense of charm, space and light with a large hallway. To one side of the hall is a superb sitting room with a pretty central fireplace with wooden surround and double doors leading out to the delightful gardens and a paved terrace ideal for 'al fresco dining.' Alongside the sitting room is a beautiful dining room, again with doors opening out to the gardens. The family kitchen is quite simply as good as it gets, with plenty of room for a breakfast/kitchen table and a number of pretty wall and base units incorporating an electric hob and double oven. Like the majority of the rooms in this beautiful house, there are views over the gardens and grounds. Alongside the kitchen is also a large utility/boot room. The accommodation is very well presented throughout, yet totally untainted by inappropriate modernisation. It offers huge flexibility to suit most families' needs, with the possibility (subject to planning) to extend. Also worth noting are a snug/study on the ground floor and a separate cloakroom. The principal bedrooms are situated on the first floor with a lovely light and spacious landing, which would also make another fantastic study area. There are four bedrooms in total including a fabulous master bedroom with an en suite bath/shower room, a second bedroom with en suite shower room, and a separate family bath/shower room. The views from nearly every room are fantastic and it is so nice to be looking over one's own gardens and grounds. The gardens and grounds surround and protect the house and amount to just over four acres, with stabling and bridleway access, a double garage, two single garages, and a large workshop. The gardens are an absolute delight and have been very cleverly and carefully nurtured over the years. Alongside the main property there is also a charming pair of one bedroomed semi-detached annexes, each with their own separate garden area. These would be ideal for guests, an elderly relative or for bringing in a healthy private income. All in all, this really is the most fantastic family home in an idyllic yet very convenient location. LOCATION The small hamlet of Benville comprises a dozen or so houses and cottages and is conveniently situated in the beautiful Dorset countryside. The village of Corscombe is 3.6 miles away, with amenities including the popular Fox Inn public house and thriving village hall. Just 2.1 miles away lies the larger village of Evershot, with an active community which includes a village shop, bakery, the popular Acorn Inn, Summer Lodge country house hotel and a primary school. Beaminster is an attractive and popular town offering many facilities including a good range of shops, churches, post office, library, two schools, health centres, other professional services and social and sporting facilities and is approximately 5.2 miles to the south west of the property. The larger towns of Crewkerne, Dorchester and Yeovil are within easy distance and offer a large range of facilities including mainline rail stations to London Waterloo.
