Every so often an owner of a special house asks for a marketing appraisal and it creates such an excellent first impression, that when they ask for it to be marketed, a second visit is required to fully appreciate all it has to offer. This is one of those properties and it is highly likely that to be as informed as possible when showing prospective interested parties the accommodation and grounds, there will still be a further list of features left to impress them further.

If you are familiar with where the house is, within some of Dorset’s finest rural scenery, then if viewed from above on the internet, you note that when it was built a century ago, the design ensured that the house sat almost in the centre of a large plot, angled towards the far reaching picturesque views to the south-west. A wonderful location that is appreciated from both windows in the house and a large, elevated terrace, one of a variety of social areas the current owners use for entertaining.

The questions even an experienced agent is left with, is what to include and what to leave to discuss during the viewings, to ensure the people who will think of this property as their dream home, see all they have been looking for when it appears during their search on a property portal. The setting has been discussed, then there is the size and excellent presentation of the well planned layout, the long driveway and extensive parking, leading to the 3 bay garage, workshop and something only experienced during a viewing; the welcoming feeling that you get when walking through the front door, of what has been a happy family home for the past 30 years.
