Owners say, "We love the character in the house, it's got such a great feel, and we will miss our lovely garden.''
The Old House is a detached former farmhouse that sits in a delightfully elevated spot in the highly sought after village of Gussage All Saints, a beautiful rural Dorset village in the heart of the Cranbourne Chase.
This lovely family home is one of the oldest homes in the village, believed to have been built in either the 17th or 18th Century. This cob cottage has been sympathetically modernised by its current owners to provide a comfortable, yet characterful home. This is Dorset living at its best, the surrounding countryside is stunning, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with a myriad of walks and bridle paths on the doorstep. An idyllic lifestyle for families with children or dogs, or both!
A driveway provides PARKING for three vehicles and there is also a spacious modern DETACHED DOUBLE GARAGE, providing further parking or amazing storage. Steps amble up through the pretty cottage gardens up to the Accoya™ timber front door. Before you go into the house, turn around to appreciate the beautiful views across the village to the fields beyond, one of the many features our owners love about this house. The ENTRANCE HALL with its quarry tiled floor, leads to the modern KITCHEN/BREAKFAST ROOM, well fitted with a range of base, wall and draw units, a fitted larder unit, integrated oven and grill, space for a fridge/freezer, washing machine and dishwasher. There is plenty of space for dining table and chairs, and lovely views across the fields to the front, where our owners have created a perfect seating area to enjoy the view. Across the hallway is the SITTING ROOM which has a stunning inglenook fireplace with quarry tiled hearth and a cosy, contemporary style wood burner. When they refurbished the house, our owners unearthed a beautiful and unusual cherrywood timber floor. This room could also easily be used as a dining room as next door is a second RECEPTION ROOM which was a kitchen and dairy in the farmhouse, illustrated by part of the original creamer. Beside this is another large inglenook fireplace and wood burning stove. The room is ideal as an additional sitting or dining room and has double glazed French doors out to the garden. To the rear of the kitchen is a lobby area which leads out to the garden, and has brick steps leading down to a wonderful CELLAR. The cellar has good head height and offers excellent storage with a range of built-in brick shelves, an ideal wine cellar! Back off the hallway is a downstairs W.C., and stairs lead up to the first floor where there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. BEDROOM 1 is a bright and spacious double bedroom with lovely countryside views to the front, a range of built-in storage, and an ensuite shower room. BEDROOMS 2 and 3 are both good size double rooms and bedroom 3 has built-in storage. Both have lovely countryside and village views. The bright FAMILY BATHROOM has a bath with shower over, hand basin, separate shower cubicle and W.C.
The Old House has an electric heating system with 12 solar panels, 2 x 5.12 kwh batteries and modern electric radiators.
The Old House in set in grounds of approximately a third of an acre. The pretty FRONT GARDEN is terraced and has a variety of cottage plants, a lawn area and a pretty PATIO seating area from which to enjoy views to the front. A wonderfully private space for relaxing. The REAR GARDEN is an absolute delight, teeming with interest everywhere you look and approximately 200 feet long, backing onto fields. What an idyllic playground for children! Directly outside the house is a large PATIO AREA, perfect for entertaining, with a built-in brick and tiled top outdoor kitchen island, perfect for your pizza oven or to serve food and drinks from. Steps lead up to a lawned area where there is a FURTHER PATIO entertaining space and a high spec GARDEN OFFICE, which has LED lighting, ample power points and broadband. The lawn continues to meander up through a variety of fruit trees, shrubs and planting, past a greenhouse and a very useful stone-built OUTHOUSE, and towards the end is a dedicated VEGETABLE PATCH. These sumptuous gardens have something for everyone.
