Seller Insight

Badbury View is a detached family home overlooking the River Allen. It lies nestled in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the thriving village of Witchampton, East Dorset. The property has offered the owners and their growing family a happy home; “The setting is truly beautiful and provides year-round tranquillity. The village is vibrant with a great sense of community and there is plenty to explore nearby”

Within walking distance there are fantastic village attractions and facilities, such as a community shop, local pub, cricket ground, Witchampton C of E First School, Little Owls Preschool, a Church and unlimited country walks. “There’s always something going on in the village, from regular social events to the annual ‘Open Gardens’ weekend,” say the current owners.

A 10-minute drive away is the pretty market town of Wimborne Minster, where, amongst many other amenities, you’ll find excellent high street shopping, supermarkets, a leisure centre and a theatre and cinema. For larger towns, there’s Salisbury to the north and Bournemouth and Poole to the south, both around a 30-minute drive away. In well under an hours travel there are world class attractions to explore. “There’s so much to do in the area, nothing is far away - the World Heritage Jurassic Coastline, Poole Harbour and the New Forest National Park are all within easy reach”.

The space the house has given us has been terrific and its orientation means that it is often flooded with sunlight. Sitting outside in the morning or on a summer’s evening and seeing swans, ducks, deer and the occasional kingfisher is a great pleasure.

The sympathetic way in which a disused Paper Mill has been transformed into an idyllic, gated Riverside Community of sixteen houses is fantastic. The area gives us the best of living in the Dorset countryside whilst having plenty of modern conveniences on our doorstep.

We have many memories including parties and barbecues in the summer, but our greatest memory is of introducing our day-old second child to his new home.

The house is unique and idyllic in its location and we will miss every aspect, from watching the cygnets grow over the months, to the changing colours of the landscape throughout the seasons. We are purchasing a house, within the local area, which has larger grounds and stables. It is our ambition to keep horses and have a smallholding.*

We each have a favourite room - the dining room for its river and open field views and all day sunshine (when it shines!). The other, the master bedroom - a beautiful haven of peace and quiet with stunning views and a roll-top bath to relax in.” On the first floor, there are four double bedrooms, mostly with views over the river or open fields and all accessed from a large landing space. The guest bedroom has a generous range of fitted wardrobes and an adjoining, stylishly fitted ensuite shower room. The family bathroom serves the three remaining bedrooms on this floor.

The second floor accommodates a master suite with outstanding views of the surrounding countryside. This comprises of a generous dual aspect bedroom with a good range of fitted wardrobes and a well-proportioned ensuite bathroom which includes a roll top bath and separate shower enclosure.

Outside the garden is laid mainly to lawn and fenced along the river frontage, thus creating a safe and secure environment, yet maximising the delightful views of the pretty surroundings and open views to the rear. The plot extends to include the river bank and has the benefit of fishing rights.
