Tucked away in the tranquil and unspoilt village of Wootton Fitzpaine, this much-loved family home has been in the same ownership for over 30 years. Set within a generous plot and blessed with a truly idyllic south-facing garden, this detached property offers space, warmth, and a rare opportunity to grow roots in one of Dorset’s most picturesque settings.
From the moment you step inside, the house feels welcoming and thoughtfully arranged for everyday family life. The entrance PORCH leads into a light and spacious HALLWAY, with stairs rising to the first floor and a practical cloakroom complete with side window and wash hand basin—ideal for guests and muddy boots after countryside walks.
The SITTING ROOM, with its inviting open fire and views to the front, is perfect for relaxed family evenings. Glazed doors open into the conservatory, which is bathed in natural light and enjoys a glorious triple aspect, offering uninterrupted views over the garden. Whether used as a reading room, play area or sun lounge, it’s a peaceful space that connects beautifully with the outdoors.
At the rear of the home, the KITCHEN/BREAKFAST ROOM enjoys a picture-perfect outlook over the garden and surrounding countryside. There’s ample space for family meals, while practical features include generous work surfaces, fitted units, built-in hob and oven, under-counter fridge, and direct access to the garden—perfect for watching children play while preparing dinner, or stepping out for a summer breakfast on the patio.
A separate UTILITY ROOM offers a designated space for laundry and additional storage—something every family will appreciate—with plumbing for a washing machine and sink plus a handy spot for an extra fridge or freezer. The bright DINING ROOM, with its own door to the garden, provides a flexible area for formal meals, homework, or social gatherings.
For those needing a quiet spot to work or Study, the front-facing STUDY offers valuable versatility—ideal as a home office or even a snug or playroom, depending on your needs.
Upstairs, the LANDING is bright and spacious, with a window to the front, an airing cupboard, and access to the loft (partially boarded for extra storage). The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is a peaceful retreat, with built-in wardrobes and truly beautiful views across the rear garden and undulating hills beyond. Its EN-SUITE includes a bath, W.C., pedestal wash hand basin, and chrome towel rail—everything you’d expect from a comfortable principal suite.
BEDROOM TWO, previously two rooms combined into one, offers excellent space for siblings or teenagers—complete with dual rear-facing windows. BEDROOM THREE, also a double, overlooks the front and makes an ideal nursery or guest room. The FAMILY BATHROOM includes a full-sized bath with shower over, bidet, W.C, and pedestal wash hand basin, all complemented by natural light from a front window.
Outside, the home is approached via a driveway offering ample parking for several vehicles. The FRONT GARDEN is mature and well-tended, with hedging providing privacy. Side access leads to the REAR, where the real magic lies: a stunning, south-facing garden that has clearly been loved and nurtured over the decades. There’s a spacious lawn for children to run freely, a pond, patio for outdoor dining, potting beds, a pergola with climbing plants, and even a timber shed for tools or adventures. With no onward chain, this is a wonderful opportunity for a family to create lasting memories in a home that has already seen a generation grow.
Wootton Fitzpaine itself is a peaceful village surrounded by countryside, yet only moments from the coast at Charmouth that is easily accessible by a scenic walk through the fields. Wootton Fitzpaine is an active village community, with a village hall, social club and honesty shop. The larger village of Charmouth is a short distance away, and has a number of good shops, public houses and restaurants to its centre and beaches with opportunities for fossil hunting, bathing and coastal walks. Charmouth lies midway between Bridport to the East, Lyme Regis and Axminster to the West. There are great road links along the A35 and mainline stations at Axminster, Maiden Newton, Dorchester, and Crewkerne.
