Detached house for sale in Oakley Hill, Wimborne BH21

An imposing, three/four bedroom, family home situated close to the River Stour as well as the Canford Estate, and boasting a generous and private plot within walking distance of Wimborne Town Centre. Scope to extend (STPP).

Property Description
The home sits at the foot of Oakley Hill adjacent to a public footpath which leads straight to the Canford Estate and sits along side the River Stour. Positioned centrally on its plot the home's accommodation comprises a triple aspect living room, kitchen with breakfast area, study, cloakroom and utility to the ground floor and there are three double bedrooms and two bathrooms to the first floor. The master bedroom suite has been formed by combining two bedrooms, and this could easily be split back to create four formal bedrooms. Furthermore, the home has already been sympathetically extended on the ground floor and there is, in our opinion, scope for the home to be extended further (STPP). The home has also been double glazed, has full cavity insulation and benefits from gas fired heating as well as an electrically operated Aga.

There is a summerhouse, as well as two garden sheds and a greenhouse.
