Description

Tucked away in the village of Bourton, this property is a spacious and versatile two-bedroom detached home set within beautifully landscaped gardens. Approached by a private driveway with ample parking and a double garage, this home offers seclusion and a peaceful setting while remaining within easy reach of village amenities.

Ground Floor
The property is entered via an enclosed glazed porch with Karndean flooring before stepping into an impressive double-height hallway. Flooded with natural light from a skylight, the hall features a split-level staircase, giving access to a cloakroom and airing cupboard at the half-landing before continuing up to the first floor. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with Karndean flooring, cream cabinetry, integrated appliances including oven, dishwasher, four-ring induction hob with extractor and space for a fridge/freezer. A breakfast bar and patterned grey tiled splashback add both style and practicality, whilst the dual aspect design, with natural light entering from the side and above the sink, ensures the space is bright and welcoming. An adjoining utility room provides further cabinet and worktop space and direct access to the rear. The dining room is a generous space with a front-facing window, seamlessly connected to the sitting room through a wide archway. Both rooms enjoy oak flooring, with the sitting room also benefitting from dual aspect windows and a focal-point electric fire set on a stone hearth with brick surround.

First Floor
The spacious landing provides room for additional storage, with access to a linen cupboard and the loft which has lighting and is fully boarded. The principal bedroom is a large double room with dual aspect windows and two built-in double wardrobes with hanging and shelf space. The second bedroom is another well-proportioned double room, also fitted with twin wardrobes and a front-facing window. Serving the first floor is a stylish family shower room with a large corner shower with rainfall and hand attachments, vanity storage, WC, basin, heated towel rail and full grey stone tiling.

Outside
The garden wraps around the property, designed with low maintenance and year-round enjoyment in mind. Approached through a wooden gate, the driveway leads to a double garage with an automatic remote-controlled door, fitted cabinetry and additional loft storage. At the front of the home lies a landscaped garden laid with artificial lawn, a rockery with pond and feature wooden footbridge over. A pebbled area, outside tap and a pergola with established Wisteria further enhances this space. Sitting at the rear of the property the garden continues with more artificial lawn and plantings including a towering Indian Bean Tree, a summer house and a secluded seating area, all linked by a pebbled pathway. An additional paved path loops around the house giving access to the rear garage door and the backdoor leading into the utility room. Multiple power points, exterior lighting and a feature fountain complete this tranquil outdoor space.

Location
The sought-after village of Bourton marks the northern most point of Dorset, and has an active community with a church, a village store including a Post Office/Petrol station and a public house. Bourton is within easy driving distance of several small market towns including Wincanton, Gillingham, and Bruton. The village lies on the river Stour, bordering Somerset and Wiltshire with an 'outstanding' Ofsted report for the local primary school.
