Wimborne Minster, Dorset

Description:

A magnificent detached Grade II Listed 6 bedroom period family home standing on a site which extends to over a third of an acre, in a prime town location, within a few hundred yards' walk of Wimborne Square.

Lewens is steeped in history. Originally constructed in 1654, the house was extended later in that century, again in 1744, and later, in 1875. A beam in the roof bears the date 1654. There are many other character features including a wealth of exposed beams and timbers, ornate open fireplaces, and a superb staircase.

The spacious family accommodation is arranged on 3 floors and includes 4 reception rooms, a magnificent conservatory and a very well presented ash kitchen (with granite surfaces). There is a substantial ground floor wine cellar, a laundry room, a master bedroom suite (with en suite dressing room and bath/shower room), a second en suite bathroom and a family shower room. There is also a double garage, an outbuilding and a self-contained 1 bedroom annexe.

Our clients purchased the property privately in 1978, and it is now on the open market for the first time since 1944.
