6 bed detached house for sale

Belchalwell, Blandford Forum DT11

Set within approximately three-quarters of an acre in an enviable rural position, Hunters View is a substantial detached residence extending to approximately 4,333 sq ft. Enjoying far-reaching countryside views from every room, the property offers exceptionally versatile accommodation including a self-contained annexe, detached studio and extensive parking, making it ideally suited to modern family living, multi-generational occupation or those seeking additional income potential.

The main house is entered via a welcoming and generously proportioned entrance hall, which provides access to all principal ground floor accommodation. Attractive Purbeck stone flooring flows throughout the principal living areas, enhancing both the character and practicality of the accommodation.

The heart of the home is undoubtedly the impressive kitchen/breakfast room, a wonderfully sociable space featuring a traditional Aga, central island and ample room for informal dining. Double doors open directly onto the garden, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living while perfectly framing panoramic views across the surrounding rolling Dorset hills. The ever-changing countryside backdrop provides a stunning focal point throughout the seasons and creates a true sense of connection with the landscape beyond. A useful utility room adjoins the kitchen, providing practical everyday convenience.

The spacious living room is equally impressive, offering a warm and inviting atmosphere centred around a characterful wood-burning stove. Generous proportions and large windows ensure the room is flooded with natural light whilst taking full advantage of the spectacular countryside views, creating the perfect setting for both relaxing evenings and entertaining guests.

The separate dining room provides an elegant setting for formal occasions and family gatherings, enjoying its own delightful outlook across the surrounding countryside. Positioned between the principal reception rooms, it offers a natural flow for entertaining whilst maintaining a distinct and intimate feel.

A particular highlight of the property is the self-contained annexe, which can be separated from the main residence via a lockable connecting door. Offering excellent flexibility for dependent relatives, guests, holiday letting or supplementary income, the annexe comprises its own kitchen/living room, conservatory, double bedroom and bathroom. Like the main house, the annexe enjoys attractive countryside views, creating a peaceful and private environment whilst remaining connected to the main accommodation when desired.

A striking galleried oak staircase rises from the entrance hall to the first-floor landing, creating an impressive focal point and setting the tone for the space and quality found throughout the home. The first floor provides extensive family accommodation with five bedrooms arranged around the central landing. The impressive principal suite benefits from a dedicated dressing room and en-suite facilities, whilst Bedroom Two also enjoys the convenience of its own en-suite shower room. The remaining three bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom, fitted with a four-piece suite including both a separate bath and shower. Each bedroom enjoys stunning views across the surrounding Dorset countryside, further enhancing the sense of space and tranquillity throughout the home.

Outside, the property occupies grounds of approximately 0.75 acres, offering a wonderful balance of space, privacy and uninterrupted countryside views. The gardens wrap around the entire property, creating a picturesque setting from which to enjoy the surrounding landscape. Expansive areas of lawn provide substantial green space for families, entertaining and recreation, whilst a dedicated greenhouse area will appeal to keen gardeners and those looking to embrace a more self-sufficient lifestyle.

A gated driveway provides parking for four to five vehicles and leads to a detached double garage with adjoining log store. Further enhancing the property's versatility is a detached studio building, complete with its own WC, making it ideal as a home office, gym, creative workspace or potential ancillary accommodation, subject to any necessary consents. The gardens and grounds are perfectly positioned to take advantage of the property's elevated setting, enjoying breathtaking panoramic views across the rolling Dorset countryside in every direction.

Combining substantial accommodation, ancillary income potential and an outstanding rural setting, Hunters View presents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly adaptable village home in one of Dorset's most picturesque locations.
