Description
A remarkable and characterful four bedroom semi-detached home set within two acres, believed to date back to the late 1800s and extended in more recent years is situated on the edge of the small Dorset market town of Stalbridge. A footpath through the fields leads directly into the town centre, making for a wonderfully peaceful yet convenient setting. Offered for sale with the benefit of no onward chain.
Having been a much loved home for twenty six years, the property has been lovingly maintained and improved throughout, with the addition of a garden room and a new patio terrace among the improvements made during the current ownership. The ground floor is particularly impressive, offering two semi open plan sitting rooms, one with a brick fireplace and open fire, a generous kitchen diner with island, a brick breakfast bar and Stanley range cooker. A dining area with its own brick fireplace, a utility room, a ground floor shower room and a garden room complete this level. On the first floor there are four double bedrooms, all enjoying lovely countryside outlooks, the principal being double aspect with a basin and fitted wardrobes, together with a family bathroom. A study also offers potential to become an en-suite for bedroom two.
The property sits within approximately two acres of land, completely private and backing onto open fields with wonderful countryside views. There are two stables, a store room, a large studio with annexe or office potential, a garage with an EV charging point and driveway parking for four cars, together with separate access to the fields.
The Property -
Inside - Ground Floor
A useful porch with hanging space leads directly into the sitting room. The two sitting rooms are semi open plan but could easily be separated if preferred, the larger featuring a brick fireplace with an open fire as a focal point. The kitchen diner is a generous and sociable room, fitted with a range of shaker floor and eye-level cupboards with laminate worksurfaces, a built-in electric oven, gas hob and a Stanley range cooker. A central island and a separate brick breakfast bar add both practicality and character to the space. The dining area also has its own brick fireplace, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. A ground floor shower room is also found on this level, with the back entrance to the property accessed via the rear, leading into the utility room. The garden room is a delightful additional space, enjoying views over the garden.
First Floor
The landing gives access to all four bedrooms, a study and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom is a generous double aspect room benefitting from fitted wardrobes and a basin, while the remaining three bedrooms are all well proportioned doubles, each enjoying lovely outlooks over the surrounding countryside. The study offers potential to become an en-suite for bedroom two, and the family bathroom serves all remaining bedrooms.
