About this property
Detached three bedroom thatched cottage
One of Colehill's most desirable addresses
Private driveway
Significant advantage of being non-listed
Detached annexe
A charming detached thatched cottage, set within beautifully established gardens in one of Colehill's most desirable addresses, offering a rare combination of timeless character, exceptional versatility and the significant advantage of being non-listed. Occupying a delightful position along the popular Lonnen Road, this period home perfectly balances the charm of a traditional Dorset cottage with the flexibility of modern living. Rich in character throughout, the property presents a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a home of genuine heritage.
The Situation
48 Lonnen Road is situated in the popular residential area of Colehill, on the outskirts of the historic market town of Wimborne Minster. The property enjoys a convenient position combining access to everyday amenities with the attractive countryside and woodland for which this part of East Dorset is well known.
Colehill offers a good range of local facilities, including shops, community amenities and well-regarded schooling. Nearby schools include Colehill First School, Hayeswood First School and St Michael’s Church of England Middle School, while Queen Elizabeth’s School provides secondary education in the wider Wimborne area.
Wimborne Minster is within easy reach and provides a comprehensive selection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday services, together with leisure and cultural facilities including the Tivoli Theatre. The wider area is particularly attractive for walking and outdoor pursuits, with woodland and open countryside readily accessible.
The location is also well placed for travelling throughout East Dorset, with road connections towards Poole, Bournemouth and the surrounding coastal areas, making Colehill a desirable setting for those wishing to enjoy a semi-rural environment whilst remaining convenient for the principal towns of the region. Regular bus services also serve Colehill and the Wimborne area.
The Property
At the heart of the home is a welcoming kitchen/dining room, designed as a natural gathering place for family life and entertaining alike. The beautifully proportioned triple-aspect sitting room is flooded with natural light throughout the day, creating a wonderfully inviting space, with French doors opening directly onto the gardens.
A second reception room provides valuable flexibility and is currently arranged as a cosy lounge, although it could equally serve as a ground floor bedroom, making the accommodation well suited to multi-generational living or those seeking adaptable family space. A practical utility room and stylish ground floor shower room complete the accommodation on the ground floor.
Upstairs, the cottage continues to delight with its wealth of character and individuality. The principal bedroom is complemented by a triple-aspect dressing room, creating a luxurious suite with delightful garden views. The second bedroom enjoys its own distinctive layout, with an elevated area perfectly suited as a study, reading nook or dressing space, while the family bathroom features a classic roll-top bath, perfectly in keeping with the home's period charm.
A particularly valuable addition is the detached annexe, independent and providing versatile accommodation ideal for visiting guests, extended family, a home office or creative studio.
Outside
The gardens are a beautiful feature of the property and provide a wonderful sense of peace and seclusion. Established and thoughtfully landscaped, they are filled with mature trees and colourful borders. A charming pond, sheltered patio and delightful summer house combine to create a series of inviting outdoor spaces, equally suited to quiet relaxation or entertaining family and friends.
