Hooke

Nestled in the picturesque village of Hooke and offered to the market with no onward chain, Burnside & Chalet is a charming detached period cottage complemented by a separate two-bedroom annex. Set within just over a quarter of an acre of beautifully established gardens, this versatile home offers an abundance of character, generous living space and excellent income potential.

Stepping through the entrance porch, you are welcomed into a spacious hallway that provides access to the principal accommodation. The dual-aspect sitting room is filled with natural light and enjoys delightful views over the gardens, while a feature wood-burning stove creates a warm and inviting focal point. Across the hallway, the well-appointed kitchen/dining room is fitted with a range of wall and base units and features an Aga, making it the heart of the home and an ideal space for family life and entertaining.

The ground floor also benefits from two generously sized double bedrooms, along with a separate shower room, offering flexible accommodation for guests or multi-generational living.

On the first floor are two further double bedrooms, both enjoying attractive views across the surrounding gardens and countryside. These are served by a well-proportioned family bathroom.

The detached annex provides excellent additional accommodation and is currently operated as a successful holiday let. It comprises two double bedrooms, a comfortable sitting room, a fitted kitchen and a family bathroom, together with its own private garden, offering guests privacy and independence. Equally, it would make an ideal home for extended family members or those seeking an income-generating opportunity.

Outside, the property enjoys a peaceful setting with mature gardens extending to just over a quarter of an acre. A variety of established trees, shrubs and flowering borders create a wonderfully private and tranquil environment. There is ample off-road parking for several vehicles, an attached large single garage and a useful detached outbuilding currently being used as a utility/ storage room. The property also borders a gently flowing river, enhancing the idyllic setting and creating a truly relaxing countryside atmosphere.

Burnside & Chalet represents a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful village home with flexible accommodation, beautiful gardens and an established holiday letting business, all within one of Dorset's most desirable rural locations. The property also has the potential to extend with lapsed planning permission for a two storey extension and a garage proposed in the garden. Dorset planning reference number: WD/D/17/002454.
