4 Description Westwood House was originally constructed in the early 1950 s and has been in the ownership of the current occupants for around 30 years, during which time the property has undergone alteration, extension and improvement. This most attractive period style thatched house has painted rendered elevations under a thatched roof with spacious accommodation arranged over two floors and is situated in a glorious rural location within a beautiful mature plot. There is a large office which could be converted to two further bedrooms if desired. The house would now benefit from some modernisation, however the layout and space warrant the exercise and the house would make an ideal retreat for a family or those seeking a lifestyle move to a rural idyll. Situation Westwood House, whilst in a rural location, is just 4 miles from the centre of the County town of Dorchester. Dorchester is a thriving conurbation known for its Roman origins as well as its literary connections to Thomas Hardy who lived and worked in the town. In Dorchester, there are an excellent range of facilities including many independent and national shops, a number of restaurants, public houses and supermarkets including Waitrose. The recently developed brewery, known as Brewery Square provides a popular Plaza, Odeon Cinema and restaurants including Cote Brasserie and Waggamamas. On Wednesdays there is a weekly market and railway connections to London Waterloo are 2 hours 40 minutes. Going West is the pretty Georgian town of Bridport, also with an excellent range of amenities and the coastal resort of Weymouth lies just eleven miles to the South with its charming harbour, award winning sandy beach and at Portland, the National Sailing academy. The Dorset Jurassic coast with its glorious path, is a UNESCO world heritage site. Outside The gardens at Westwood House are a major feature and surround the property, beyond which there is mostly open farmland. The house is approached from a long farm track via private gravelled drive sweeping around to the front of the house where there is ample parking and access to generous double garage. The main lawns are situated to the front and rear of the house and have been planted with a wonderful diverse range of specimen trees including Judas tree, Blue Atlantic Cedar, Ginko and Tulip Tree creating a parkland feel with many more splendid mature trees in the woodland. To the rear of the house is a gravelled seating area stretching along the length of the house with a pretty thatched porch providing shelter and taking in the view of the lawn and open country beyond.
