Ridge, BH20

A fantastic opportunity to purchase a substantial detached family home in the rural location of Ridge. Ridge is situated on the outskirts of Wareham, close to the Arne RSPB nature reserve and the River Frome. Wareham is a Saxon walled market town on the banks of the River, with a wide range of amenities including shops, public houses, restaurants and cinema, with the train station providing a direct line to London Waterloo. The River also benefits from a marina and yacht club and gives boat access to Poole harbour.

Set within an exclusive private development of luxury homes, this stunning substantial detached residence was built in 2006 by renowned developer Harry J. Palmer and beautifully designed in the timeless 'Arts and Crafts' style. Approached via a private driveway, the property enjoys an impressive position with ample parking, access to a double garage and an attractive storm porch entrance.

The welcoming reception hall immediately creates a sense of grandeur, featuring striking floor-to-ceiling oak double doors with glazed panels opening through to the dining room, alongside a magnificent galleried staircase rising over two floors. The spacious and thoughtfully designed accommodation offers an exceptional blend of elegance and practicality, ideal for modern family living.

At the heart of the home is the superb kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with an extensive range of storage cupboards and integrated appliances including a dishwasher, fridge/freezer and range cooker. A separate utility room provides further storage, sink unit, plumbing for additional appliances and a stable door leading directly to the rear garden. The impressive triple-aspect lounge enjoys delightful views across the gardens through three sets of patio doors, whilst a feature central fireplace with inset log burner creates a warm and inviting focal point. A separate study and ground floor WC complete the accommodation on this level.

To the first floor are four generously sized double bedrooms, two benefitting from luxurious en-suite bathrooms, whilst the principal suite also enjoys a walk-in wardrobe. A beautifully appointed family bath/shower room serves the remaining bedrooms. The second floor offers a versatile fifth bedroom together with access to a substantial boarded loft storage area.

The gardens are a particular highlight of the property, surrounding the home with mature landscaped grounds designed for both relaxation and entertaining. Multiple private seating areas, paved patios, sweeping lawns and a charming timber summer house all combine to create a wonderful outdoor setting. An extended driveway area beyond timber gates provides further secure parking if required.
