Description
THE PROPERTY
Tucked away in an incredible elevated position on the fringe of the most pretty hamlet of Waddon, first glimpses of Rocket are most impressive with its very pretty rendered and brick façade under a pitched slate roof.
On first entering the property there is a real sense of charm, space and light with a large entrance hall leading perfectly into a most fabulous open plan kitchen incorporating a number of bespoke wall and base units and plenty of room for a large breakfast/dining table. Like nearly all the rooms in this terrific house, it is almost impossible not to smile, especially when looking out of the windows! The views are quite possibly some of the very finest in one of the very best counties! It is so rare to have an unspoilt view of the countryside and the coast at Lyme Bay, Weymouth and Portland.
The incredible sitting room is also worth a special mention, with large windows taking full advantage of the house's position.
The principal bedrooms are situated on the first floor, with three beautiful bedrooms including a fantastic master bedroom suite with dressing room and shower. There is a further bedroom and an office/ bedroom with a store room on the second floor.
OUTSIDE
The wonderful gardens are a particular feature of this property and surround the house perfectly. In all about 3 acres. There are many places to sit and take in this breathtaking location, but not many locations where you can watch a tractor chugging by and a speedboat at the same time!
To the far end of the grounds is a fantastic holiday cottage deriving an established income stream. There is also a separate one bedroomed studio which would also make a superb holiday rental. Both have full planning permission for residential use for full time independent living, both with central heating, and would therefore also be ideal for multigenerational living.
All in all, this is a truly incredible family home in an idyllic yet convenient location.
LOCATION
