The property is an impressive and well-built Edwardian house dated from 1904. The house was commissioned by Alfred Pope, from the local brewing family who still own the Wrackleford Estate. The house has retained some of the period features from its original construction with well-proportioned reception rooms, high ceilings and open fireplaces. The large entrance hall has the original Edwardian floor tiles and accesses the principal reception rooms, large conservatory, kitchen and downstairs WC.
On the first floor there are four double bedrooms, a family bath/shower room and separate WC. The second floor provides the fifth bedroom and a large attic storeroom.
There is excellent potential to create a further bathroom on the first floor (from bedroom 4), or ‘ensuite’ bathrooms in either the master bedroom (first floor) and / or the attic bedroom.

The property is approached up a sloping gravelled driveway from the main road which leads onto the large gravelled parking area at the front of the house. This provides parking for a number of vehicles. There are several mature trees to the front of the house providing privacy and protection from the road which lies below. The garden prodominently lies to the rear and to the east of the house and is south east facing with extensive areas of lawn and a narrow patio area directly outside the conservatory. Steps lead up from this area to the main upper lawn. There are rural views towards the River Frome from many parts of the garden and house providing a rural feel to the location.
In addition to the well kept garden/grounds there is adequate space / potential (if required) to extend/build subject to obtaining the appropriate planning permission.

The Property is situated in an elevated position off the A37, in the linear hamlet of Grimstone, which is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty . It has direct access to the County town of Dorchester which provides extensive shopping, business and lesuire facilities including cinemas, museums and the Brewery Square with excellent restraunts and bars. There is a railway station in Dorchester with regular direct services to London Waterloo, Bristol Temple Meads and Weymouth. Dorset has a wide choice of popular schools from both the state and independent sectors including the well-regarded Thomas Hardye School (State secondary) in Dorchester plus Bryanston, Milton Abbey, Clayesmore and the Sherborne schools from the independent sector. The World Heritage designated Jurassic Coast is a short drive away with a number of excellent beaches. The airports at Bournemouth, Exeter and Southampton are all relatively close by offering UK and international connections.
