This detached family home exudes character and charm and is quietly located in the sought after village of Lytchett Minster, close to the village church, within walking distance of a couple of highly recommended Village Inns and in catchment for the well regarded Lytchett Manor School. By car, main road links to Poole and Bournemouth to the east and Dorchester to the west are just a few minutes away, whilst mainline rail services are accessible at either Dorchester or Poole and there are international airports at either Bournemouth or Southampton.

Constructed in 1994 with brick elevations beneath a tiled roof, the property is on a quiet side road, just a few yards off the main road through the village and is set back in a generously sized plot with high hedging to all boundaries, affording a good degree of privacy. The spacious frontage is gravelled, providing ample off-road parking for a number of vehicles and access to the attached double garage (currently used as a home gym).

In its current ownership for the past 14 years, the property has been beautifully maintained, extended and further enhanced by a single storey extension to the side of the property providing a generous utility/boot room. Further notable features include an extensive porcelain terrace spanning the rear elevation, stylish charcoal grey framed windows and doors externally, CCTV and high specification security system including keypad entry.

The covered entrance porch shelters the main door to the house and gives access to the welcoming entrance reception hallway, with stairs rising to the first floor and a useful understairs storage cupboard. Traditional stair spindles have been replaced with glass, further complementing the light and airy ambience in this family home and stylish oak doors are fitted throughout. A well-appointed cloakroom with tiled floor is discreetly located off the hall.

Underfloor heating is fitted throughout the ground floor – controls for which are housed in a cupboard off the hallway. Mellow engineered wooden flooring is laid in the majority of rooms at this level.

The well-proportioned lounge enjoys a rear aspect and the current owners have maximised the delightful garden view by extending the window to ground level and a further feature in this room is the stunning Designer Italian glass wall fitment incorporating shelving and TV mounting as well as a concealed sound system – certainly a focal point to be enjoyed in this reception room! There is a second reception room overlooking the front of the property which provides versatility as a dining room/hobbies/playroom/snug.

The hub of this superb home is perhaps the open plan kitchen/breakfast/dining/family room with sliding/bi-folding doors opening to the hall as well as doors leading out to the expansive porcelain sun terrace overlooking the south westerly facing grounds. The kitchen has a range of light fronted base and full height and larder storage units with dark granite worktops, an underslung sink as well as a large island/breakfast unit with further storage, seating and inset induction hob and feature decorative globe extractor above. Further appliances include two eye level NEFF ovens, microwave and coffee maker as well as a stylish inset American style fridge/freezer and there is ample floorspace for dining table and chairs.

To the rear of the kitchen, a door leads to a large utility room with velux rooflights – a single storey extension added by the current owners - which has a cupboard housing a water softener and combi-boiler. The room itself has space for washing machine and tumble dryer, ample storage units and sink overlaid with large dark granite worktops and there is a door leading to outside. The double garage has pedestrian access at the rear of the kitchen and is currently utilised as a gym/fitness room.

On the first floor there are four double bedrooms – the master suite comprising a well-proportioned room with floor to ceiling windows to enjoy the delightful garden views, an adjoining dressing room with ample storage as well as a luxuriously appointed, fully tiled ensuite with shower cubicle, “Jack and Jill” basins and WC. A further bedroom with ensuite provides an ideal guest room, whilst the two remaining bedrooms at this level are served by a superb family bathroom which is fitted with a contemporary style suite including free standing bath, separate shower cubicle, WC and vanity wash hand basin.

On the second floor there are two further light, airy and good size double rooms with Velux rooflights offering potential for use as either sleeping accommodation, home office/hobbies room.

Outside, the extensive grounds are a delightful bonus to this stunning home, offering peace, privacy and tranquillity. Primarily laid to lawn, with a variety of mature specimen trees and hedging to all boundaries, there is ample space for garden furniture as well as safe and secure play areas for young families – or simply for relaxation or entertaining in these idyllic surroundings. A useful side extension to the property provides storage for garden equipment and furniture with access at both front and rear elevations.
