About
COMING TO THE MARKET FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE IT WAS BUILT IN 1959 set within a plot approximately 1/3rd of an acre and offered with no onward chain Little Orchard is a truly special and increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a home that has remained within the same ownership since it was first built in 1959.
Coming to the market for the very first time, this much loved property offers not only a sense of history and character, but also exceptional scope for enhancement, making it an exciting prospect for buyers looking to create a bespoke home in a sought after and peaceful setting.
Occupying a generous plot of approximately one-third of an acre, Little Orchard is nestled within a delightful semi rural position in Wimborne, surrounded by open fields and enjoying an abundance of greenery in every direction.
The property benefits from a high degree of privacy, with mature gardens enveloping the house and providing a tranquil environment that feels both secluded and connected to nature.
From every window, there are attractive views over green space, reinforcing the property's idyllic setting.
Adding further appeal, Bytheway Park is located just on the doorstep, offering immediate access to open recreational space and enhancing the sense of openness that defines this location.
The property is currently arranged as a chalet bungalow, offering flexible and well balanced accommodation that could suit a variety of lifestyles.
The ground floor comprises two bedrooms, ideal for those seeking single level living or for use as guest accommodation, study space, or hobbies rooms.
The principal living areas include a bright and comfortable sitting room, which enjoys pleasant garden views, and a separate dining room that lends itself well to both everyday family use and entertaining.
The kitchen provides a functional base for future updating or reconfiguration. A conveniently located shower room completes the ground floor layout.
The first floor accommodates two further bedrooms, both of which enjoy elevated views across the surrounding countryside and gardens.
In addition, there are loft rooms which offer particularly exciting potential.
Subject to the necessary consents, these spaces could be transformed into en-suite bathrooms or dressing areas, significantly enhancing the upstairs accommodation and creating a more luxurious and contemporary layout.
While Little Orchard would now benefit from a comprehensive programme of modernisation, it is precisely this aspect that makes the property so appealing.
It presents a blank canvas for a new owner to design and create a home tailored to their own tastes and requirements.
Whether through extending the existing footprint, reconfiguring the internal layout, or undertaking a full refurbishment, the possibilities here are considerable.
The sizeable plot offers ample space for enlargement, subject to planning permission, and could easily accommodate substantial additions without compromising the outdoor space.
Externally, the gardens are a key feature of the property, wrapping around the house and offering a mixture of lawned areas, mature planting, and open aspects.
The sense of space both within the plot and beyond its boundaries is a defining characteristic, making this an ideal setting for families, gardeners, or anyone seeking a more peaceful lifestyle.
In summary, Little Orchard represents a unique chance to acquire a property with genuine heritage, set within a generous plot in a highly desirable location.
With its combination of privacy, views, and outstanding potential, it offers the perfect opportunity to create a truly exceptional home in the heart of the Wimborne countryside.
