Sturminster Marshall, BH21 4DH

A deceptively spacious detached home in a quiet residential close in Sturminster Marshall, extended by the current owners to create characterful and versatile family accommodation. The property's most compelling feature is its direct rear access onto open farmland, providing a rural outlook and privacy that is increasingly difficult to find within an established village setting. Entrance is via a reception hall with cloakroom, from which the ground floor opens naturally. The lounge is a generous reception room and connects through to the open-plan kitchen and dining area, fitted with high-gloss dark cabinetry, quartz worktops, and space for a Rangemaster style range cooker. Recessed downlighting and wood-effect flooring run throughout, with a feature wood-burning stove adding warmth and character at the end of the space. A well-fitted utility area off the kitchen provides a washing machine, sink, and external door. The conservatory across the rear of the house is a particular feature of the property. Glazed on three sides with a fully glazed roof, it provides both a dining space and a relaxed sitting area, with French doors opening to the stone-paved terrace and views across the garden to open countryside beyond. Upstairs, the principal bedroom features plantation shutters to the front-facing windows. The second bedroom is a comfortable double with a rear countryside outlook, while the third room is currently used as a dressing room with open shelving and hanging rail. The family bathroom is a genuine feature: a freestanding bath sits beneath an overhead rainfall shower on a curved chrome rail, with a feature wall of green mosaic tiles adding character against the white-tiled surround. OUTSIDE To the rear, a sandstone terrace leads onto a lawn framed by established trees including a Japanese maple. A timber gate at the far boundary opens directly onto open farmland, a rare characteristic at this price level. To the front, a block-paved driveway provides parking for two to three vehicles alongside the single garage.
