A very attractive charming and spacious individual detached character house with annexe, set in large gardens and well located on the western side of the sought after town of Beaminster.
THE PROPERTY
Barrowdene House is a very attractive, spacious and highly individual detached character house with annexe, set in lovely large and well stocked gardens in the historic town of Beaminster and close to open countryside. It is believed to have been built in circa 1939 with stone and upper timber elevations, featuring attractive stone mullion and leaded light windows. The property has been subject to a whole number of improvements over the years and substantial enlargement with a two-storey extension to provide a self-contained annexe/additional accommodation.
The accommodation is very spacious and versatile either as two homes (ie the annexe is ideal for a dependent relative, long term letting or holiday letting/Airbnb etc.). Alternatively, it is one very large, spacious family home. Under the current ownership since 2016, a whole number of improvements have been carried out including partial window replacement, upgrading of the kitchen and shower room, new gas central heating boiler and extensive redecoration.
The net floor area extends to a very generous 2,300 sqft and there are lovely views to the front over Beaminster to the church and surrounding countryside.

Ground floor Reception hall, living room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, side hall, cloakroom, utility, garden room, study
First floor - Landing, four bedrooms (from the 4th bedroom there is an interconnecting door to the annexe), shower room

Accessed via external covered stairway or via the 4th bedroom within the main house - Hall, living room, kitchen, bedroom with balcony, bathroom.
OUTSIDE

There are well stocked front gardens down to lawn together with raised timber decking (for the morning sunshine), together with a whole range of shrubs and plants. There is a pedestrian side access leading to the rear garden, which enjoys a favoured south-westerly aspect and is fully enclosed with attractively paved patio areas immediately adjoining the rear of the property. Beyond lies areas of lawned gardens with an abundance of shrubs, plants and trees together with a vegetable garden and two timber garden sheds. There is a pedestrian rear gate off Green Cross Drive.
SITUATION
The property is pleasantly located on the western side of the town. It enjoys a great situation and best of both worlds being close to open countryside and within just 10-15 minutes level walking distance of The Square.
