Property description

A well loved and cared for family home within a peaceful setting, set back from the road. Set in a private, yet convenient position with the local shop and pub a short walk across RSPB heath land. A country club and Coastal Walks at Lulworth and Kimmeride are also close by. The current owners have enjoyed this 4 bedroom detached house since 1979. Originally the garage and stable block to Icen House, \"Old Stables\" has been extended three times (1986, 1993 and 2003) to create a practical, friendly family home with both sociable and private spaces. The main focus of the property is the later rear extension which is well finished with tiled flooring, underfloor heating and high vaulted ceilings. Opening out to the garden this creates a light open space echoed throughout the property. A balance of the more traditional is provided by the AGA in the Kitchen and oil-fired stove in the Sitting Room. The ideal property for those looking for a space to entertain and enjoy within a relaxing atmosphere as well as those looking for the flexibility of separable accommodation.
