A semi-detached Grade II Listed Lady Wimborne cottage, requiring renovation within grounds of about 0.20 acres (0.08 hectares). Option to purchase 44 Knighton Lane if required*

Located just over 6 miles from Bournemouth town centre, this semi-detached Grade II Listed cottage is situated in a rural location, just 0.3 miles from the A341 and enjoys delightful views over adjoining farmland.

In need of improvement throughout, the property provides great potential for extension subject to planning permission (and other required consents).

The existing accommodation comprises entrance hall, two reception rooms, kitchen and bathroom on the ground floor and two bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor. There are character features throughout.

The gardens extend to about 0.20 acres (0.08 hectares) and benefit from a selection of outbuildings including a brick built outhouse.

*The successful buyer of 45 Knighton Lane will have first option on 44 Knighton Lane at the same purchase price. If 44 Knighton Lane is not required, it will be auctioned immediately afterwards.

Services
Mains water and electricity. Private drainage

Agents Note
This property recently suffered subsidence, caused by a collapsed drain. The required remedial works have now been carried out via the insurance. Please refer to the legal pack for further information.

Our client understands that a shared septic tank, servicing both 44 and 45 Knighton Lane, is located within adjoining land. It is presumed that the tank is not fit for purpose and the buyer(s) will therefore be required to install a sewage treatment plant.

The cottages are situated in a rural position, along a no-through lane on the edge of Bournemouth and Poole. With the A341 within easy reach, there is excellent access to both Poole and Bournemouth as well as the Minster town of Wimborne, all offering an extensive range of facilities. There is a mainline station to London Waterloo at Branksome (approx. 5 miles).

There are excellent schools in the area including Dumpton and Castle Court Preparatory schools, Canford, Bryanston, and Poole and Parkstone
Grammar Schools. Queen Elizabeth's School and Corfe Hills are nearby as well as a selection of primary, first and middle schools.<br/><br/>
