A beautifully restored former Dower House offering magnificent accommodation

DESCRIPTIONVines Close House is believed to have been re-modelled around 1886 as the Dower House for the Henbury Estate. It has most attractive brick elevations under a tiled roof. The property remained a private house right up until 1984, when it was used to operate a residential care home. The present owner bought the house in 2001 and embarked upon a major two year restoration project to bring it back to private use. It now offers spacious, beautifully presented accommodation of great style. Original architectural features have been retained including some fine period fireplaces, a wealth of exposed beams and many shuttered sash windows. The house was extensively replastered, a large proportion was rewired and replumbed and the roof had a new central section added. A Crestron home control system was installed and there is gas fired central heating. In 2006 a three car garage block with games room above was added, built in keeping with the original house. Subsequently, a magnificent conservatory was built on the western side. An attractive high brick wall was constructed right along the northern boundary screening the property from the nearby road. The gardens lying to the south of the house enjoy some fine views over the additional 10 acres and surrounding farmland.

SITUATIONThis fine house is located about 4 miles west of the historic town of Wimborne Minster and less than a mile south of the local village of Sturminster Marshall. Wimborne has a wide range of facilities including a Waitrose supermarket, many independent shops, numerous cafes, bars and restaurants. The centres of both Poole and Bournemouth, renowned for their shopping, entertainment and recreational amenities, excellent beaches and yacht clubs are 8 and 12 miles away respectively. Access to the M27 and M3 to London is via the A31. London Waterloo is reached from Poole main line station in just over 2 hours. There are excellent independent and state schools nearby. Public Schools, Canford, Bryanston, Clayesmore, Milton Abbey and Sherborne. Prep Schools, Dumpton, Castle Court, Sandroyd

and Port Regis. State schools include the recently rebuilt Queen Elizabeth School and the St John’s CE First School. Sporting facilities in the area include fine golf courses at Broadstone, Ferndown, Parkstone and Remedy Oak and excellent sailing and water sports available at Poole Harbour and along the Dorset coast.

OUTSIDEA pair of substantial, electrically operated timber gates set within a high brick wall open onto the shingle entrance drive. This is flanked by trees and shrubs and leads past a parking and turning area in front of the house to an adjoining triple garage with a covered log store to the side and a further parking area.

En-Tout-Cas Tennis Court with sand filled synthetic grass surface.

The front garden is laid to lawn with an assortment of trees and shrubs. To the south of the house is a landscaped garden that has been carefully laid out with lawns, areas of herbaceous borders and flowering shrubs, together with a small orchard. There is an attractive timber pergola with a mature vine which lines a pleasant secluded walkway with flower beds and an arbour. Adjoining the south side of the house is an attractive paved terrace which enjoys fine views across the garden to the adjoining 10 acres of farmland which are included. Beyond the conservatory is a greenhouse and further lawned area. The property extends in total to about 11.7 acres.
