Wimborne Street, Cranborne, Wimborne, Dorset, BH21

A double-fronted character home in the heart of Cranborne, enjoying immediate access to many of this popular village’s amenities.

The front door opens into a bright hallway off of which is the downstairs cloakroom.

To the right is a spacious living room which features a high ceiling, a wall-hung electric fire, and double doors to a rear snug overlooking the garden. To the left of the hall is a dining room with a brick fireplace, and 2 windows to the front.

The kitchen/breakfast has a lovely outlook over the rear garden, and features modern Shaker style units, 2 Neff electric ovens, extractor and Bosch dishwasher. A door leads to a utility room with floor-mounted boiler, space for washing machine, tumble dryer, fridge and freezer, and door to outside.

The light and spacious first floor landing has a loft access, and windows to both front and rear. There are 3 generously sized double bedrooms and a bathroom comprising bath (with shower over), wash basin, WC and airing cupboard.

The garden is a particular feature of this delightful character home, being enclosed by a red brick wall. Close to the house is a spacious patio ideal for al fresco dining, with steps and a slope leading up to a paved and gravel area. There are raised beds, borders and mature shrubs providing privacy. The oil tank for the central heating is near the house.

The property has an interesting range of outbuildings including a wooden workshop/store and a red brick building. Formerly host to a local dairy supplier, the property has a large hardstanding and a container which previously housed refrigerated milk. At the bottom of the garden is a red brick double garage with a pitched roof.

While the garden would benefit from some refurbishment, its potential for transformation is clear. Subject to the necessary planning consents, there is also scope to convert the outbuildings into home offices or even accommodation.
