Semi-detached house for sale in Oakley Lane, Wimborne BH21

A charming, two bedroom, Lady Wimborne Cottage, boasting a generous south facing rear garden, off road parking and scope to extend (STPP).

Property Description
Lady Wimborne cottages were primarily built in the late 1800’s as part of Lord Wimborne’s Estate with many now being Grade II listed, including this example, which carries the number 82 which signifies it’s position within the original Estate Plan. The accommodation currently offers a living room, with open fire, and open plan kitchen/dining room to the ground floor with two double bedrooms and a family bathroom to the first floor. In our opinion, the home lends itself to being extended (STPP) and currently benefits from gas fired heating as well as a southerly orientation to the rear.

Gardens and Grounds
The front garden is primarily laid to a dressed gravel driveway suited to several vehicles with maintained hedge borders and there is a wood-built garden gate to the left hand side of the home which denotes access to the rear garden. The rear garden is primarily laid to a kept lawn with mature shrub beds and is private in nature with a southerly orientation. There is a wood-built shed and space for the erection of a garage (STPP).
