Blandford Forum, DT11 9JE

A SUPERB, DETACHED FAMILY HOUSE WITH EXCELLENT ACCOMMODATION AND A LOVELY GARDEN OVERLOOKING OPEN FIELDS. Nicely situated in the convenient and sought after village of Tarrant Keyneston, Bramleys is a well-built detached house with adaptable and well organised accommodation of about 2,200 sq/ft (incl. garage). At the centre of the house the generous entrance hall opens in to three reception rooms including a full length triple aspect sitting room with a stone fireplace, woodburning stove and patio doors to the garden, plus a dining room or study, and at the back of the house a breakfast/family room which opens directly into the kitchen. A downstairs shower room and utility area complete the ground floor and upstairs there are four double bedrooms and a family bathroom with a separate shower. Home to our clients for over 25 years, Bramleys was originally built in the 1970’s and has been generally well maintained. The main reception areas still have their original parquet flooring, double glazing has been installed and the oil fired heating system updated. However, there is now scope for some further refurbishment, perhaps installation of a new kitchen and bathroom, and after that Bramleys will continue to be a fabulous family home for another 25 years. The house is set nicely back from the lane behind a hedge and well kept front garden and a large tarmac drive providing plenty of parking and turning space in front of two attached single garages. A gate on one side of the house leads through to the lovely south facing rear garden. Immediately behind the house there is a paved terrace and beyond that a level lawn with beautifully stocked mature borders and a pond. Situated towards the bottom of the garden is a greenhouse and garden shed. All in all, a lovely space to sit in the sun and enjoy the view over the neighbouring fields. Tarrant Keyneston is a quiet and attractive village which owes a lot of its popularity to its convenient location at the bottom of the Tarrant valley, a rural location that is only 10 minutes from all the services and amenities of both Blandford Forum with its bustling Georgian market square, M&S Food Hall, Tesco and Lidle superstores, and Wimborne with its theatre, restaurants and Waitrose. There are several pubs nearby including the True Lovers Knot in the village and The Anchor at Shapwick and the village is surrounded by lovely countryside, much of which is designated as a National Landscape (formerly AONB). Badbury Rings and Kingston Lacy (NT) are on the doorstep, and Poole Harbour, Studland Bay and Dorset’s renowned Jurassic Coastline are within ½ hrs drive to the south. Communication links from the village are good, it is within easy commuting distance of Dorchester, Poole, Bournemouth and Ferndown. Easy access on to the A31 provides a quick link to the M27 for Southampton and Portsmouth, and on to the M3 up to London. Poole is the nearest station (London (Waterloo about 2 hrs), and Bournemouth and Southampton airports are nearby. This part of Dorset has also become popular because of the wide selection of schools at all levels. There are primary schools and secondary schools in Blandford, grammar schools in Poole and Parkstone, and an excellent choice of independent public schools including; Bryanston, Canford, Milton Abbey and Clayesmore, and Handford, Castle Court and Dumpton prep’ schools.
