Holtwood, Wimborne, Dorset, BH21

A first floor penthouse apartment in a special rural development comprising 3 brand new bungalows and 3 converted apartments, set in a private gated community in the popular rural hamlet of Holtwood, about 5 miles north of Wimborne Minster.

Accessible off a private tarmac road through electric gates, the site, formerly a builders’ yard, backs onto open farmland and has stunning views over the adjoining countryside. It is tucked away from the village road in a quiet rural location, close to Holt Forest and Queen’s Copse, areas of woodland managed by English Nature. Holtwood nestles between the villages of Holt which has The Old Inn pub/restaurant, and Gaunts Common which has a First School, and a post office/shop is available about 2.5 miles away in the village of Furzehill.

Converted to a high standard from former offices, the apartment is highly insulated and has elevations of Michelmersh red bricks and quality cement boarding, and a gabled steel roof. There are high quality Velfac windows (aluminium outside and timber inside), an efficient airsource heating system, high speed broadband, building control completion certificate, and an Advantage 10-year structural warranty. The property is connected to mains water and electricity, shares a private drainage system and has its own treatment plant. There are quality floor coverings including ceramic tiles, carpeting, engineered oak flooring, own front entrance door, and 2 allocated parking spaces.

A long, tarmac private driveway, flanked by a hedge on one side, leads through electric wrought iron double gates into the courtyard.
