4 bed detached house for sale

Higher Blandford Road, Broadstone, 9 BH18

Overview

Believed to date from the late 1930s, this attractive detached family home occupies a well-regarded position along Higher Blandford Road, Broadstone, a location particularly favoured for its established plots and individual homes. Displaying classic inter-war Arts & Crafts influences, including a tile-hung upper elevation, steep gabled rooflines and a distinctive circular front window, the property offers excellent kerb appeal and a strong sense of individuality.

The house has been a much-loved family home for over 40 years, clearly cherished and cared for throughout its ownership, and is now ready for a new chapter. The accommodation is generous, well-proportioned and rich in original character, while also offering exciting scope for future enhancement.

The approach immediately sets the tone, with a sweeping natural stone driveway providing ample parking and leading to the detached garage, framed by mature planting that softens the frontage beautifully. A solid front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall, filled with natural light from the front-aspect porthole window.

A staircase rises to the first floor, while beneath the stairs sits a generous and recently upgraded cloakroom, finished to a practical size for everyday family living.

There are three dedicated reception spaces, all linked by the original solid oak strip flooring, which runs through the hallway and living rooms, adding warmth and continuity throughout the ground floor.

Two of the rear reception rooms are connected by original folding solid doors, allowing them to be opened into one generous space or used separately as required.

The main living room enjoys a lovely rear aspect, an open fireplace, and a side door opening onto a south-facing veranda. This space flows naturally into the dining room, which benefits from doors opening directly onto the rear garden, ideal for family life and entertaining.

To the front of the house, a double-aspect secondary lounge provides a more formal sitting room or snug again with a door to that sunny veranda.

The kitchen is a generous and practical space, with front and side aspect windows and fitted with a range of eye- and low-level units. Integrated appliances include a low-level fridge, dishwasher and electric oven with induction hob, complemented by an attractive white aga, which adds character and warmth to the room.

A rear porch leads out to the garden and side of the property.

The first floor opens onto a stunning gallery landing, a real feature of the home, with access to a loft hatch with ladder and a generous airing cupboard.

There are four bedrooms on this level. Three are well-proportioned double bedrooms, all enjoying double-aspect windows, which is a rare and highly desirable feature.

The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, with fitted wardrobes and an elevated position that allows for distant views towards Poole Harbour.

A further single bedroom offers flexibility as a nursery, study or dressing room, being positioned next to the principal bedroom.

The family shower room is generous in size and has previously accommodated a corner bath, indicating ample space for reconfiguration if desired.

The property sits within mature, established gardens, extending to approximately half an acre, offering a wonderful sense of privacy and space.

A single detached original garage, complete with power, sits comfortably within the plot and complements the style of the house.
