Grounds and Gardens
South Park stands within beautifully landscaped and exceptionally private grounds extending to almost half an acre. Wrought-iron electric gates, set between brick piers, open onto a substantial pavioured courtyard providing parking for numerous vehicles. The detached four-car garage complex has been finished to a high standard and features a tiled floor, a large storage room and a cloakroom with WC and butler’s sink. A separate entrance provides access to the self-contained annexe. On the ground floor is a fitted kitchen with a stainless-steel sink, work surface, Miele oven, touch-control hob, washing machine, fridge and freezer. A staircase rises to the first floor, where a spacious living area is illuminated by two Velux rooflights. The bedroom area includes a separate dressing room, fitted cupboards and drawers, and an en suite shower room. This excellent ancillary accommodation is ideally suited to guests, extended family, dependent relatives or use as a private home office. The gardens surround the house on all sides and have been thoughtfully landscaped to create a series of attractive and varied spaces. Gently sloping lawns are interspersed with paved terraces, ornamental ponds, mature planting and well-stocked borders, while a woodland area provides a particularly peaceful backdrop. To the rear of the house, a secluded decked terrace incorporates a barbecue area and a built-in hot tub, creating a superb setting for outdoor entertaining and relaxation.

The Situation
Colehill is a highly regarded residential area on the outskirts of Wimborne, offering a strong sense of community together with a good range of local amenities. The village provides first and middle schools, a church, library and local shops, including a Co-op and post office. Cannon Hill Plantation offers a network of scenic woodland walks and provides an excellent setting for outdoor recreation. Regular bus services connect Colehill with the historic market town of Wimborne Minster, approximately two miles away, and with Bournemouth on the coast. Wimborne offers a broad selection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities, while Bournemouth provides further shopping, cultural and recreational amenities, together with a mainline railway station offering direct services to London Waterloo. The area is particularly well served for schooling. Queen Elizabeth’s School at Pamphill is readily accessible, as are Poole and Parkstone Grammar Schools, Dumpton School at Furzehill, Canford School at Canford Magna and Bryanston School near Blandford.
