About this listing

“A remarkable modernist house on the edge of the sweeping Dorset Heaths” This expansive home was renovated by the previous architect-owner and recently reimagined under current ownership to a Scandinavian-inspired design. It sits in a quiet residential enclave at equal distance from Corfe Mullen and Broadstone, in Dorset, and spans some 2,168 sq ft. The house unfolds over two streamlined storeys, with five well-apportioned bedrooms and versatile living woven around a central staircase, lending a sense of continuity throughout. Insley Crescent is just a short walk from renowned Upton Heath Viewpoint, with extensive views across the heath, Poole Harbour, and the stunning Purbeck Hills. The Tour Set back from the street behind a generous driveway, the house has a composed, understated frontage; an original pale-brick bungalow is reimagined with a weathering timber-clad upper storey and dark uPVC-framed windows, emulating a contemporary vernacular. The entrance is at the front, framed by established planting and a mature silver birch. The house was recently redecorated, with oak elements and improved flow throughout, and is fitted with air conditioning and solar power. Inside, a bright entrance hall is lined with engineered-oak chevron flooring, and solid-oak doors lead to the rest of the house. An open staircase with a matching oak handrail rises to a first-floor landing, while a convenient shower room discretely occupies one corner. Glazed internal partitions maintain uninterrupted lines of sight to a free-flowing kitchen-living-dining area at the heart of the plan, and to the garden beyond. A central island anchors the expansive kitchen, where simple white cabinetry is set against oak surfaces, and large grey tiles run underfoot. A dark, uPVC-framed wall of glazing allows light to flood into the sitting/ dining area, opening the space to the rear garden. Steps descends to the sitting room either side of a contemporary wood-burning stove which fronts a textured slate wall, forming a natural focal point. Honey-hued oak chevron flooring runs underfoot, and crisp white walls amplify light drawn in by rooflights above. Three of the five bedrooms sit on the ground floor and are similarly finished with bespoke joinery and a welcoming palette of muted tones. On the first floor, the principal bedroom follows the geometry of the roofline, with an en suite bathroom and a designated dressing area, and a generous picture window looking over the rear garden to the treetops beyond. The en suite is bright and understated, with a walk-in shower and an angled rooflight that floods the space with natural light, complementing its clean, pale tiling. A second bedroom and a joyful green bathroom with a cork bath splashback complete this floor, epitomising the home’s tactile material palette. Elsewhere, a well-appointed utility room and designated storage space lie just off the living area. Externally, a wonderful annexe building houses a studio and independent home office. Outdoor Space The rear garden has been carefully composed around the home's glazed elevation, which mirrors the surrounding trees while dissolving the boundary between inside and out. A timber deck runs directly from the living space, while a covered terrace provides an inviting setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. A central lawned area is framed by raised sleeper beds and mature planting, culminating in a detached garden studio at the end of the plot. Side access from the front of the house and generous off-street parking complete the practical arrangement. The Area Insley Crescent is quietly positioned on the edge of the Dorset village of Corfe Mullen, surrounded by woodland, heathland and open countryside, yet within easy reach of the coast. The village has a strong community feel, with independent cafés, everyday amenities and a selection of pubs, while nearby Broadstone provides a wider choice of restaurants and shops. The Dorset heaths are close at hand with walking and cycling routes that weave through Upton Heath and Corfe Barrows Nature Park, while the beaches at Sandbanks, the waters of Poole Harbour and the historic streets of Wimborne Minster are all within a short drive. Well-regarded schools in the area include Rushcombe First School and Springdale First School, while an independent option includes Castle Court School. There are excellent transport connections to the wider region. The A31 provides direct access towards Southampton and London, while rail services from Poole railway station and Bournemouth railway station offer regular connections to London Waterloo.
