Cranfield Avenue, Wimborne, BH21 1TH

A PERFECT SIX BEDROOM END OF TERRACE TOWNHOUSE THAT THE OWNERS HAVE CREATED INTO A PERFECT FAMILY HOME, FEATURING A LOVELY SITTING ROOM AND KITCHEN/DINING AREA/SNUG WITH THE FOCUS ON LIGHT. NO CHAIN.

This six bedroom end of terrace townhouse within walking distance of Wimborne town centre has been made into a wonderful family home in which the owners have brought up four children and various dogs, including a guide dog for the blind.

Extended in 2014, the property is 2,138 sq ft and sits on a large plot of 0.11 acres.

In their ownership for the last 17 years, their children have now left and they are downsizing with no forward chain.

They have created a great flow and lots of light with the emphasis on big windows and doors.

There is a superb living room of over 350 sq ft with double doors looking out to the side garden and common land beyond, and two front aspect windows. It creates options for seating areas.

The focal point is the kitchen/dining area/ family room with two sets of double doors leading out onto the rear garden. With log burner (with brick built chimney) this is the family snug area.

Upstairs there are six bedrooms (five doubles) although with the children gone, the owners have one as an office and another as an exercise room.

On the particulars you will see that we have included the Ordnance Survey plan. It shows the common land beyond the boundaries that provides privacy for the property.

Sitting in the back garden you ‘could almost be in the forest’.

It faces south west so there is sun for the majority of the day and you can enjoy the mature shrubs including acers and a climbing wisteria.

The property has an electric car charging point and in 2023 they installed solar panels and a 5kWh battery.

As a result, the owners haven’t paid electricity/gas bills between March and November every year.
