Description Continued
The interesting Old Market Town of Sturminster Newton is the most centrally sited of North Dorset's five principal towns, standing halfway between Blandford Forum and Sherborne in a delightful setting on the banks of the River Stour, where you will find one of Britain's oldest working water mills and an historic five arch bridge, which to this day carries the threat of deportation to Australia! There is a wide range of Shops, a Primary School and a Secondary School, a Church, a Medical Centre and Health Clinic, nhs Dentist, a Private Dentist, and a modern Leisure Centre. The Exchange is an award-winning multi-purpose building offering a community/arts centre. Coarse fishing in the River Stour. Blandford 9 miles, Sherborne 12, Yeovil 17, Dorchester 20, Bournemouth and the South Coast 27 miles. Gillingham 10 miles has a mainline railway station. The A30 is 8 miles, and the A303 is approximately15 miles.
Ground Floor Accommodation
The house is entered from the brick paved driveway via a solid wood door with an obscured glass panel into a large welcoming hallway with doors to all of the principal reception rooms and stairs to the first floor.
The generous Lounge has a feature open fire with a stone surround and hearth, there are double glazed windows to the side and rear and a double-glazed French door leading into the five-sided Conservatory which has double glazed windows over a brick base with a French door leading out to the garden, from here you can gaze at uninterrupted views over the Blackmore Vale. Across from the lounge is a large snug which has two double glazed windows to the front, one of which is in the style of a porthole. The main focus of the room is the original brick fireplace with a large aperture and housing a wood burning stove. There is a third reception room which is perfect as an office or study with built in shelves and cupboards, one of which houses the utility board and there is a double-glazed window to the front. To the rear is the large Kitchen-Diner which has two double glazed windows affording stunning views, there is a range of wall and bas units in a shaker style and a stone effect work top which houses a 1 1⁄2 bowl sink and drainer with a mixer tap over. There is an integrated fridge freezer, an electric oven and hob, space and plumbing for a dishwasher, a larder cupboard, a tiled splashback and the floor mounted boiler. To one end of the room there is more than enough room for a family dining table and chairs and here you will find the door into the Utility Room where you will find cupboards and a work top and space and plumbing for a washing machine, there is a double glazed window to the rear and a double glazed door into the garden. There is also a small Bathroom with a shower cubicle, a ceramic wash hand basin, a heated towel rail and a low level W/C.
First Floor Accommodation
The stairs lead up to the large landing which has a double glazed window to the side, two large built in double cupboards, one housing the hot water tank, as well as access to the loft space and doors to all the bedrooms. The Master Bedroom has two built in wardrobes and bedside cabinets as well as a built in dressing table with drawers, the room has wall lights and a double glazed window to the rear offering spectacular views and a door to the En-Suite Bathroom where there is an extra large walk in shower cubicle, a ceramic wash hand basin with a vanity cupboard below and a vanity unit over, a bidet and a low level W/C, the room is fully tiled and has an obscured double glazed window to the side. The Guest Bedroom has a built in wardrobe and dressing table and a window to the front. Bedroom Three also has a built in Wardrobe and has two double glazed windows to the rear as does Bedroom Four. The Family Bathroom is fully tiled and has a window to the front, there is a panel bath, a ceramic wash hand basin, a vanity cupboard and a mirror, a bidet and a low level W/C as well as a heated towel rail.
Loft Space
The loft space is fully carpeted and has three windows with side aspects, whilst the space cannot be considered a room as an adult could not stand and it is accessed via a fitted, fall down loft ladder, this could make a great play space for small children, or simply, luxurious space to store the Christmas Decs!
Outside
The large south facing mature and tranquil garden is ideal for outside entertaining, creating memories with guests or for simply kicking back and taking in the breath-taking views that are constantly changing with the seasons.
A haven for avid gardeners, with multiple areas for sunrise and sunset vistas, or to simply relax and observe the abundant wildlife.
