On the edge of Iwerne Minster, surrounded by the stunning Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Whispering Chimneys is one of those homes that instantly feels welcoming.
Originally two charming 19th-century cottages, it has been thoughtfully transformed into a beautifully modern family home that balances character and contemporary living. From the cosy woodburners to the fabulous open-plan kitchen with black granite worktops, a range oven and bi-fold doors opening onto the terrace, every room has been designed to make the most of the glorious south-facing aspect and fill the home with natural light. ☀️
Upstairs are four generous double bedrooms, including a wonderful principal suite with a dressing area and luxurious en-suite, while the connected annexe offers fantastic flexibility—ideal for guests, extended family, working from home or even a creative studio.
And then there's the outside... 🌿 there's plenty of parking, an integrated double car port, a garage with a substantial workshop, and even a charming timber greenhouse.
The gardens are lovely, with sweeping lawns, mature trees and colourful borders creating a wonderfully private setting. Keen gardeners will love the productive kitchen garden with raised beds and fruit-growing areas, while the beautiful flagstone terrace and oak-framed loggia provide the perfect spot for long summer lunches, evening drinks or simply relaxing with family and friends. With French doors opening from both reception rooms and the kitchen, the house and garden flow effortlessly together.
The village itself boasts a friendly community with a village shop, pub, church and primary school, while Shaftesbury and Blandford Forum are both just a short drive away, with excellent transport links to London and the South West.
Whispering Chimneys is so much more than a beautiful house—it's a home full of warmth, character and lifestyle. We absolutely adore it, and we'd love to show you around. 🏡✨
