Inside

Welcome to Foxhills, set in the most glorious of settings enjoying breathtaking and far- reaching views of its own paddock and gardens right across the valley from its elevated, yet sheltered position. This single-story residence was originally constructed in the 1950s and has been sympathetically extended in the 1990s and its array of outbuildings re-purposed and restored. The plot extends to approx. 3.5 acres, the current owners, resident for nigh on 30 years historically kept sheep.

The RECEPTION HALL is flooded with natural light from a Velux™ roof window, this inviting hallway readily accommodates hall furniture. On a practical note, access is here to the large predominately boarded roof void with both loft ladder and light. Upon entering the SITTING ROOM, the eye is immediately drawn to the simply spectacular views down to the paddock and the breathtaking countryside. The bay window has a casement door providing access to the garden and the viewing platform. The SITTING ROOM is centred round the cosy brick fireplace with fitted wood burner for those cooler months. The DINING ROOM is a well-proportioned reception room and readily accommodates a sizeable dining table, chairs, and additional furniture, and once again the glorious views are framed by windows. The KITCHEN / BREAKFAST ROOM has a range of both cupboards and drawers with food preparation work surfaces, and ample room for a breakfast table. The twin bowl and a quarter sink unit is ideally positioned under the window to fully appreciate the outstanding and far reaching vista. Pride of place is the floor standing Alpha Range™: a combined cooker and central heating boiler with twin hot plates and twin ovens and provides independent operation of domestic hot water, and cooking. Additional appliance includes the integrated fridge. The separate UTILITY / BOOT ROOM is of good size, with sink unit, water softener, together with plumbing and space for a dishwasher as well as a washing machine and ample room for additional appliances. There is a built-in airing cupboard with immersion and a Velux™ window for natural light and door to outside. Discreetly positioned off the utility is a W.C.

The PRINCPAL BEDROOM lies to the rear of the bungalow and once again has a wonderous view over the arresting scenery, whilst fitted wardrobes provide storage. This comfortable bedroom has an ENSUITE BATHROOM with bathtub, vanity unit, W.C and shower. BEDROOM TWO is a large guest bedroom having a twin view of the garden and drive and has an ENSUITE W.C. BEDROOM THREE is currently utilised as a study and lies to the front of the residence. Concluding the accommodation, situated off the hall is the SHOWER ROOM, suite comprising wash basin, W.C, and shower cubicle.

Outside

Discreetly position off Alton Lane behind high hedging a five-bar gate leads to the private drive. The gardens are an absolute delight with areas of lawn, natural woodland, fruit cage that has proven most productive over the years. Two of the many highlights in the rear garden are the timber ‘viewing platform’ and a further seating area, truly delightful spots from which to soak in the mesmerising panorama.

The drive continues beyond the bungalow to the array of outbuildings: including the former milking parlour - ‘Daisy Cottage’ utilised as a ‘games’ room, hayloft, nursery barn, former tack room, stable, workshops, plant room and potting shed/ studio. In addition, there is a DOUBLE GARAGE with pitched roof and mechanics’ pit. Past the outbuildings and the ‘yard’, a five-bar gate opens to the paddock, which can also be assessed via the separate neighbouring landowners track, with further five-bar gate.

Location

Enjoying an enviable position in an elevated yet sheltered location, Foxhills lies within one mile of Cerne Abbas – one of England’s loveliest villages, famous for the Cerne Abbas Giant carved into a hillside – this house is surrounded by natural beauty, with enchanting walks from the door and panoramic views of the gently undulating neighbouring countryside; this Conservation Area village sits in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Cerne Abbas is, however, very much a working village, with a vibrant community feel. Three pubs, a village store, surgery, well-regarded first school, church, and tearoom are all within easy walking distance. Moreover, Cerne Abbas is magnificently situated in the centre of the county. From golf at Dorchester or Sherborne, to swimming and sailing off the Jurassic coast, the best that Dorset has to offer is all but on your doorstep.
