Melplash, Bridport, Dorset

Upon entering the property, you are greeted by an expansive and light-filled entrance HALLWAY, where engineered oak flooring immediately adds warmth and quality. This welcoming space benefits from multiple built-in storage cupboards, ideal for busy family life, along with two front-aspect windows and double doors opening to the rear of the house, drawing the eye through to the garden and swimming pool beyond. A door leads down to the cellar, which also houses a sauna, offering a wonderful retreat at the end of a long day spent outdoors.

To the left of the hallway sits a generous STUDY or home office, perfectly positioned for those working from home or in need of a quiet reading or hobby room. Finished again with engineered oak flooring and downlighters, the room enjoys a front-aspect window and double doors opening to the rear, creating a calm and productive space. An inner door leads through to the pool room, further enhancing its versatility.

The INNER HALL forms the hub of the home, with stairs rising to the first floor, an understairs storage cupboard and three side-aspect windows overlooking the gardens. From here, the accommodation flows seamlessly into both the SITTING ROOM and the KITCHEN/DINING ROOM, creating a layout that works beautifully for family life and entertaining. A DOWNSTAIRS CLOAKROOM is also located here, fitted with a W.C, wash hand basin, chrome heated towel rail, rear-aspect window and a discreet boiler cupboard.

The sitting room is a wonderfully inviting space, perfect for relaxing together in the evenings. Dual-aspect windows allow light to pour in throughout the day, while patio doors open to the side, offering easy access to the garden. A log burner set on a granite hearth provides a cosy focal point, and engineered oak flooring completes the room’s warm and comfortable feel.

At the heart of the home lies the kitchen/dining room, a truly special space designed for gathering, cooking and sharing meals. An oil-fired Rayburn™ takes centre stage, adding both character and practicality, and is complemented by granite worktops, a breakfast bar, built-in NEFF™ appliances and high-level pyrolytic slide-and-hide ovens. There is a dual-bowl sink and drainer, downlighters and a combination of tiled and engineered oak flooring underfoot. Patio doors lead out to the side, while front-aspect windows provide lovely views and natural light, a space that works just as well for everyday family meals as it does for hosting family and friends.
The UTILITY ROOM is a practical addition, fitted with a stainless steel sink, space and plumbing for a washing machine, tiled flooring and a front-aspect window. From here, a door leads into the BOOT ROOM, a must-have for country living.

With tiled flooring, dual-aspect windows, space for a tumble dryer and its own front door, this room is ideal for kicking off muddy boots, managing garden wear, or drying off damp dogs and children after outdoor adventures.

Upstairs, the sense of space continues with an expansive galleried landing, featuring side-aspect windows, downlighters, an airing cupboard and a loft hatch with ladder access to a boarded loft space.

The PRINCIPAL SUITE is a real highlight of the home and feels like a private retreat. The bedroom enjoys a side-aspect window and a Juliet balcony overlooking the swimming pool and surrounding countryside, a wonderful spot to enjoy morning views. The EN-SUITE is well appointed with a double walk-in shower, vanity wash hand basin, W.C, downlighters, wood-effect flooring, a front-aspect window and part tiling. Completing the suite is a DRESSING ROOM or additional home office, featuring a rear-aspect window, a characterful feature fireplace, downlighters and a further loft hatch, offering excellent flexibility.

BEDROOM TWO is another generous double room, with dual-aspect windows capturing far-reaching countryside views and its own EN-SUITE, fitted with a double shower, chrome heated towel rail, W.C, wash hand basin, rear-aspect window, downlighters and part tiling.

BEDROOM THREE benefits from dual-aspect windows and a built-in double wardrobe, while BEDROOM FOUR has a front-aspect window and built-in wardrobe, making it ideal for children, guests or hobbies.

The FAMILY BATHROOM is fitted with a bath and shower over, chrome heated towel rail, W.C, vanity wash hand basin and a light-up Bluetooth™ mirror. A front-aspect window and Velux™ skylight ensure the room is bright and airy.

Outside
Outside, the property truly comes into its own. To THE FRONT is a generous gated gravel driveway, bordered by mature trees, lawned areas and established hedging, providing privacy and a sense of arrival. The DOUBLE GARAGE is a superb asset, offering an up-and-over manual door, dual-aspect windows, overhead storage, light, power and a pedestrian door to the rear.
Also positioned at the front of the property is a separate three-bay STABLE BLOCK, complete with light and power, along with a wooden shed. This connects with the front field of approximately 1.5 acres, which also includes a single stable — an ideal setup for those wishing to keep a horse, small livestock or simply enjoy open space and gardening opportunities.

The gardens wrap around the house and are predominantly laid to lawn, interspersed with mature trees and hedging, offering plenty of scope for keen gardeners to create different areas, planting schemes or vegetable plots. Tucked away to the rear is the SWIMMING POOL, complete with its own pool house, changing rooms, pump room and W.C, forming a private leisure area that feels well separated from the main garden.

Altogether, this is a substantial and thoughtfully designed home that offers space, flexibility and a wonderful outdoor lifestyle, perfectly suited to families or couples seeking a peaceful Dorset setting with room to grow, garden and enjoy the countryside.
