Full Details for 3 Bedroom Semi-Detached for sale in Wimborne, BH21 :
A superb and unique opportunity to purchase a property within the quiet and sought after village of Horton. The property itself offers huge potential to improve & extend and is well presented throughout - internal viewing essential.
Accommodation includes kitchen, utility room, dining room, sitting room with feature fireplace, two/three bedrooms and bathroom. One of the main features to this delightful property is the mature and sizeable grounds which Abbey House occupies.
Vendor comments - Abbey House was believed to have been used as a Royalist Hospital in the Civil War, a skeleton was once discovered under the library floor in the North End from this period.
The Uvedales sold the Manor of Horton to Sir Anthony Stuart in 1697 who built a \"handsome house\" around the original building. His son (Humphrey) enlarged the house and Abbey House South includes the old coach house, now its dinning room; he also built the Horton Tower. His son built a lake out the front of the house, which is no longer there, in 1765. Humphrey moved to More Crichel and Abbey house fell into decay.
The Earl of Shaftesbury brought it in 1793 and it was remodeled. It was also a farmhouse and in 1920 was a vicarage until 1961 when the lounge of Abbey House was used as a parish hall which was the original kitchen of the monastery.
Now almost derelict it was sold in 1963 where the buyers made the house what it is today.
