THE GARDENS:

Rushlands stands on a site that extends to just over 1.1 acres. The property is approached by a long private tarmac driveway from Leigh Lane. The driveway is flanked by an established tree line with a wealth of specimen shrubs including rhododendrons, oak, beech, holly, camellias and heathers. At the top of the drive, there is a large tarmac courtyard with space for 8-9 vehicles, boats, caravans etc. Brick and pebble feature in this area.

The main garden area is to the front of the house. There is a large well maintained lawn with a small bank. The garden is enclosed by high established hedgerows and the garden is stocked with a wealth of specimen trees and shrubs. To the front of the house, there is a large split level brick terrace with steps leading to the garden.

Wide stone steps lead to the side of the house, where there are three further delightful terraces and a herb garden. To the west side of the driveway, there is a large pond, enclosed by an azalea bed and a large shrub bed. Beyond here, there is a partly wooded area and the boundary is defined by a belt of established oak trees.

At the bottom of the garden and accessible off the main lane, there is a footpath that leads to Park Homer Drive. This area, which is enclosed by a heavy tree line and rhododendrons, is owned by Rushlands although there is a public footpath across it.

From Wimborne, proceed east along Leigh Road and turn left at Leigh Common into North Leigh Lane. Turn first right into Leigh Lane and continue to the very end of the road where it becomes unmade. Follow the lane into Rushlands.

Rushlands is approached via a long private driveway and has excellent parking facilities for boats, caravans or trailers.

Agents Note: In our opinion, there is great potential to gain a planning permission for a small Lodge house within the grounds and enquiries should be made to the Planning Office, East Dorset District Council on 01202 886201.

Rushlands would appeal to purchasers seeking a large family house that extends to about 3,500 sq ft of living space with delightful gardens of about 1 acre, yet within a few minutes car drive of Wimborne town centre.
