Fosters Meadows, Winterborne Whitechurch, Blandford Forum, DT11

A TRADITIONALLY STYLED AND IMMACULATELY PRESENTED MODERN HOUSE AND POTENTIAL ANNEXE BACKING ONTO WOODS AND OPEN FIELDS

5 Fosters Meadows is a handsome traditionally styled modern house that is extremely well situated in the corner of a quiet development on the edge of the village. The house was built by a local developer in 2000 and has been home to our clients since 2018, and since then it has been carefully refurbished, a potential annexe has been created, and it has been immaculately well presented. The well organised accommodation extends to over 2,200 sq/ft and comprises an interlinked dining and sitting room with a wood burning stove and double doors out to the garden, a separate study, a fourth reception room or ensuite 5th bedroom (the potential annexe) and a smartly refitted kitchen. A separate utility room and a cloak room complete the ground floor and upstairs there are four generous bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms (one ensuite). New double glazed windows and doors were installed just over 10 years ago, the boiler was replaced in 2018 and a new kitchen and new bathrooms were installed as part of our client’s refurbishment. All of which go to make this an impressive and very efficient property with the huge advantage of a potential annexe.

Turning in from the cul-de-sac there is a wide gravel drive in front of the house with mature borders, plenty of parking and well built carport. The large private garden behind the house backs onto woodlands and open fields and is an important feature of the property. Imaginatively designed and landscaped by the original owner, it once featured in the National Garden Scheme, and it continues to be well managed and cared for by our clients. The traditional boarders a beautifully stocked and from the terrace at the back of the house a series of paved and gravel paths edged with pergolas and trellising work there way down to a level lawn. As well a potting shed and several other garden stores, on the end of the house there is a substantial secure workshop and store.

Winterborne Whitechurch is a popular village located just to the west of Blandford. It has a thriving community with a popular primary school (Dunford Academy), a busy village hall and recreation ground and a farm shop. There are pubs nearby in Winterborne Kingston and Winterborne Stickland, and over the hill in Milborne St Andrew there is another pub, a shop and post office. For a wider range of shops and services it is only a short drive to Blandford Forum where there is an historic Georgian market square, M&S food hall, Tesco and Lidl superstores. Beyond Blandford, it is only ½ an hours’ drive to Dorchester or Poole and the location of the village on the crossroads of the valley and the main road make it a popular choice for commuters. Easy access onto the A31 brings Bournemouth, Poole and Ferndown within easy reach, and a quick link onto the M27 takes you further afield to Southampton and Portsmouth, and on up to London via the M3. The lovely countryside around the village is part of the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and provides lots of great opportunities for sport and recreation. There is lovely walking, riding and cycling around Milton Abbas and Bulbarrow to the north, there are golf, tennis and rugby clubs nearby and in about ½ hr by car you can be sailing and enjoying water sports in and around Poole Harbour and Studland Bay or walking on the beaches at Sandbanks and Weymouth, or along Dorset’s renowned Jurassic coastline.
