Blakewood House Merley Park Road, Ashington, Wimborne, BH21 3DB
This beautiful equestrian country home is set in exceptional grounds of 10 acres with formal gardens, paddocks stabling and a tennis court. The existing accommodation extends to 4,203 square feet including garaging and is in good decorative order. There are 5 bedrooms and three bathrooms as well as ample reception space including a conservatory overlooking the formal gardens. It is approached via a long sweeping driveway giving quite a sense of arrival. The grounds extend predominantly to the west and south of the property giving a particularly sunny aspect which coupled with the picture perfect setting makes it a rare find.
The owners have however acquired planning permission for an important and sizeable new home. Application APP/24/00935/F was granted by BCP in 2025 and the decision notice is available upon request.
The proposed dwelling is a late style Georgian mansion which will extend to circa 7,800 square feet (our floor layout is based upon planning permission drawings as opposed to working plans which could differ) and the highly luxurious accommodation will include: six bedrooms, six bathrooms, a 38' kitchen family room, a further three receptions plus a sauna / changing complex connecting to the proposed outdoor swimming pool area.
This semi-rural location offers the best of all worlds as it is convenient for amenities at the popular Minster town of Wimborne with many cafés, bars and restaurants and several supermarkets including Waitrose, all of which are approximately 2.5 miles distant.
The centre of Poole offering excellent shopping, entertainment and recreational facilities is approx. six miles away, with the renowned Poole Harbour and Sandbanks for sandy beaches, yachting and water sports, approx. eight miles away. Trains run from Poole to London Waterloo and the A31 leading onto the M27/M3 to London can be joined about a mile away. The area is well served by state and independent schools including Corfe Hills, Poole and Parkstone Grammar Schools, Castle Court, Canford, Dumpton and Bryanston. Excellent walking, riding and cycling can be enjoyed in The New Forest National Park, east of Ringwood and along the UNESCO World Heritage Jurassic Coast, beyond Wareham.
