Welcome to Number 98.
This is a substantial, surprising house, set on a no-through road in the Dorset village of Bere Regis.
From the street, you step through the traditional wooden front door and into a house full of character, with sash windows, high ceilings, wooden beams, traditional wooden doors and generous room sizes. However, the house isn't listed, which makes updating and modernising only subject to the usual rules and regulations.
Through the HALLWAY and you can access the UTILITY ROOM and W.C., then into the tile floored KITCHEN, with a large range cooker, workspaces and cupboards for storage. Then step through into the GARDEN ROOM, which is light and bright, and has doors that open out onto the patio at the rear of the house which leads you into the garden.
The DINING ROOM has windows opening to the garden, and natural light streams into the room. Go through a wooden door to the SITTING ROOM. Wooden sash windows look out to the thatch roofs of the village beyond. A red brick open fireplace is central to the room and has been used extensively, you really can imagine cosy evenings by the fire here.
The stairs from the kitchen lead up to a DOUBLE BEDROOM with views to the garden, there is a further DOUBLE BEDROOM, which is light and airy and with views out to the village.
A FAMILY BATHROOM serves these bedrooms, with a bathtub, wash basin and W.C.
The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is generous and characterful with a doorway to a JACK & JILL SHOWER ROOM. To the other side of the shower room, there is a very useful DRESSING ROOM, with a Velux™ window and mezzanine storage.
Outside
Drive through the archway, which is shared with the neighbours, and there is a DRIVEWAY and TURNING SPACE. The property has a dedicated
PARKING SPACE.
At the rear of the house is a PATIO directly from the garden room, and with shingle to the fore, this could be utilised for extra parking for a boat or trailer, should you need to create additional space.
The GARDEN is tiered and once uncovered, will reveal some clever planting of shrubs and established borders. There is a SHED, hidden at the moment but waiting to be revealed and re-loved. A winding path, with a rich purple haze of lavender, scents your pathway up to the top of the garden, which opens out to a final tier. This could be a perfect location for your home office or outdoor kitchen. The far-reaching views encompass the village church and hills beyond.
