Rare Opportunity to Acquire a Handsome, Detached Property in Central Wimborne.
Stoneleigh House which is believed to date from the 1860s is a handsome property which provided a fine private dwelling up to the 1970s.
At that time our clients acquired and converted the property to provide a well-regarded care home which has remained in the same family's ownership ever since prior to closing in 2023.
In addition to offering 10 letting rooms (most having ensuite facilities) the property also features owner's accommodation.
The property falls within a generous and regular shaped plot extending to approximately 0.26 acres (0.11 hectares) featuring mature gardens and good parking provision.
