"This very special property is one of the finest in Beaminster, only a 'stones throw' from the square. Once inside the front door there is total privacy, and the well planned, level, walled garden is a delight in all seasons.

SITUATION AND AMENITIES This landmark property sits at the centre of the historic town of Beaminster, Hardy's 'Emminster'. Beaminster is at the heart of Dorset's Area of Outstanding Beauty, and Magnolia House is in the town's Conservation Area.

On the first floor there is a large landing with ample built in linen cupboards and a door to the staircase leading up to the attics. The principal bedroom is to the rear of the property enjoying the garden views, with a generous ensuite bathroom, and walk in wardrobe. The other three double bedrooms are at the front of the house, and a dressing room next to one of them could easily be turned into another ensuite if required (STRC). The family bathroom has both a bath and shower. There are extensive attics, lit by natural light from the windows in the gable ends, and roof lights.
