"A charming family house with a secluded feel, on the edge of this popular village

Description

Thought to date back to c. 1800, Dovehayes is originally one of the village farms and sits of the edge of the Dorset village of Bourton. Constructed of stone under a tiled roof, this charming period house is not listed.

Day to day access is from the driveway directly into the kitchen, with laminate floor, shaker style units, Aga and electric oven with hob. There is ample space for a breakfast dining table and lovely views across the garden. The family room adjoins the kitchen, a cosy space for day to day living. The sitting room is a lovely elegant room, with an inglenook fireplace and log burner. The owners currently use the more formal entrance hall as a music hall, with lovely exposed beams and a stone flagged floor. It provides a quiet space to one end of the house, with the dual aspect study just off. There is a utility room and WC, with gently rising stairs from the spacious light filled hallway, up to the first floor.

There are five bedrooms in total. Two bedrooms have been opened into one, with bi fold doors between them, creating a suite style set up which has been ideal for family needing an adjoining study area. There is a family bathroom and a separate shower room as well.

OUTSIDE
It is hard to look past the stunning Wisteria clad fa ade of the main house, but as well as the house there is a stone barn across the drive that we suspect pre dates the house itself; it is now a double garage and workshop with a superb games room above. There is another stone and brick outbuilding adjacent used as a garden and log store with a useful outside loo.

An older ruined house lies in the large garden, now something of a folly , and has been a charming venue for summer parties. A further outbuilding houses seasoning logs and garden equipment.

The Dovehayes garden was awarded a plaque from the Dorset Wildlife Trust for nature conservation and offers a diverse range of wildlife; recently spotted are Roe deer, Muntjac, Red Kites, Barn and Tawny owls. There is an owl box in one of the old oak trees and well as a myriad of woodland birds. A boardwalk traverses a bog garden with small stream full of flag irises, king cups and orchids.

The garden is diverse with lawns, garden beds, woods, wild areas, paddocks and a young orchard totalling approximately 2.2 acres.
