Description

Nestled in the picturesque hamlet of Alton Pancras within the idyllic Piddle Valley, this detached home from the early 1960s has undergone extensive renovation and expansion by its current owners. Characterised by its stone elevations and tile-hung roof adorned with composite-clad dormer windows, the property exudes charm and modern comfort.

Upon entry, you're welcomed by a convenient entrance porch perfect for storing outdoor gear. Stepping into the bright and spacious hallway, featuring a vaulted ceiling and oak-effect flooring, you're led seamlessly into the open-plan sitting room and kitchen/diner. The heart of the home, this area is divided by a dual-facing multi-fuel burner, providing warmth and a focal point for both rooms. The kitchen/diner boasts a range of modern amenities including oak-effect worktops, a ceramic butler sink, and ample space for dining and entertaining, with double doors opening onto the rear garden and terrace.

Adjacent to the kitchen, a utility room offers additional storage and access to the garage and garden. A versatile reception room at the front of the house can serve as an office, snug, or extra accommodation, offering views of the surrounding landscape.

Additionally, the ground floor features an integrated annexe with a sitting room, double bedroom, and shower room, providing flexible living arrangements for multi-generational use, or space for guests.

Ascending the stairs, you'll find the principal accommodation comprising three/four bedrooms and a family bathroom. The master bedroom boasts a double aspect overlooking the garden and fields, while the remaining bedrooms offer comfortable living space and ample natural light. A modern family shower room completes the first-floor layout.

Outside, the property sits on approximately 0.3 acres of land, with a sloping driveway leading to a generous gravel parking area and tandem-length garage. The expansive rear garden features a large lawn bordered by hedging and post-and-rail fencing, with a paved terrace and rockery providing the perfect spot for outdoor dining and enjoying the scenic views.

Located in the charming village of Alton Pancras, surrounded by Dorset's stunning countryside, the property offers easy access to local amenities including shops, schools, and public houses in nearby Buckland Newton and Piddletrenthide.
