Description

Athelleaze is a spacious detached home situated in the sought-after hamlet of Athelhampton, boasting a generous south-facing garden, adjoining paddock, outdoor swimming pool, double garage, and ample parking, all set within 1.68 acres. The property, believed to date back to the 1800s, has been lovingly restored to retain its period character and rustic charm, featuring fireplaces, solid herringbone parquet flooring, and exposed beams. The property has been configured as a single large family home, but still offers excellent potential for adaptation into two independent properties, subject to necessary consents. The property benefits from a range of amenities, including a village hall, pre-schools, first and middle schools, a general store, and a well-regarded modern doctor's surgery. The nearby village of Puddletown is also close to the magnificent Athelhampton House and gardens, which include a restaurant and café open to the public.
