Manor Farm Close, Pimperne, Blandford Forum, DT11

A VERY INDIVIDUAL SPLIT LEVEL HOUSE IN A POPULAR VILLAGE SETTING

A unique detached three bedroom house, 4a Manor Farm Close was built in 2006 by local developer Wyatt Homes, who have a reputation for good design and quality. Our clients acquired the property in 2010 and made one or two clever alterations to the specification including conversion of the double garage into a fabulous kitchen/dining room (leaving a carport to one side of the house). An obvious advantage of No.4a is that it has bedrooms, bathrooms and living space upstairs and downstairs. Coming in from the front door the new kitchen/dining room is on the left and on the right, there is a separate utility room and a large double bedroom with ensuite shower room. Off the landing upstairs there are two more bedrooms (a double and a single), a generous bathroom and a large light living room with double doors opening onto a deck and the garden beyond. The whole house is neatly presented and has been beautifully kept, and it has all the modern conveniences including quality double glazing, high levels of insulation and modern gas fired heating. And the location in a quiet cul-de-sac makes it an ideal choice for retirement or anybody looking for a second home that can be safely looked up and left while traveling.

The gardens at No.4a are also on several levels and are equally well kept. At the lower level in front of the house there is a large gravel parking area with access to an open carport. From here steps lead up to the generous split level garden which is currently laid out for easy maintenance with two large lawns surrounded by neatly clipped hedges and interspersed with fruit trees and other specimen plants and shrubs. There are garden stores and potting sheds on both levels, and a lovely view.

About three miles northeast of Blandford Forum, Pimperne is a thriving village with a successful primary school, a busy village hall, its own gym and a pub (The Anvil). For everyday shops and services, it is only a short drive into Blandford with its historic Georgian market square and excellent range of amenities including an M&S food hall, Lidl and Tesco superstores. Communication links around the village are good. It is only a short drive into the Poole, Bournemouth and Ferndown which makes this a convenient location for people who commute to work in those areas. Easy access on to the A31 provides a quick link to the M27 for Southampton and Portsmouth, and it is an easy drive to Salisbury and onto the A303/M3 for London. Most locals catch the train from Salisbury, which has a fast regular service to London (Waterloo). The village is situated at the heart of the Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and a brisk walk will take you up onto Cranborne Chase and into the rolling countryside that this part of Dorset is famed for. There are good opportunities for sport and recreation in the area with numerous golf courses and plenty of sport clubs in and around Blandford, and superb boating and water sports facilities around Poole Harbour and along Dorset renowned Jurassic Coastline.

All mains services are available at the property. Gas fired radiator central heating. Excellent broadband service.
