4 bedroom detached house for sale

Individually architect designed by John Pardey in 2014, this standout four-bedroom home is set high on a south-facing slope in the village of Colehill, Dorset. Its sleek, rectangular form makes the most of the woodland views, while tiered gardens at the rear create a peaceful, multi-level retreat. Just 10 minutes from Wimborne Minster and 25 minutes from Bournemouth, it offers both tranquillity and excellent access.

Inside, the house is cleverly arranged to follow the slope, with living spaces on the upper floor to take in the views. A dramatic, double-height living area opens onto a wide balcony through full-height sliding doors, while clerestory windows bring in extra light and privacy. The open-plan kitchen is anchored by a large quartz island and fitted with high-spec Neff appliances. Engineered wood floors, a wood burner, and underfloor heating create a warm, contemporary feel.

Downstairs are three spacious en suite bedrooms, including the master suite which opens directly onto the garden. A fourth bedroom upstairs doubles as a bright home office. At the top of the drive sits a separate studio and workshop.

Outside, the front garden rises gently with mature planting and a raised seating area. The rear garden steps down in three levels – from a private lawn off the main bedroom to a paved terrace surrounded by lush beds. The first-floor balcony is perfect for morning coffee or evening drinks overlooking the greenery.

Colehill is a highly sought-after village with easy access to countryside walks, the Cranborne Chase AONB, and the Jurassic Coast. Wimborne offers independent shops, riverside trails, a theatre, and excellent schools. Bournemouth is under 30 minutes away, with direct trains to London and an international airport close by.
