This stunning barn conversion nestles quietly in the heart of the Dorset countryside along a private access road close to the popular village of Sturminster Marshall - an idyllic setting and a wildlife haven for nature lovers! Set in beautifully landscaped grounds with gated access, the property offers well proportioned, spacious and versatile accommodation and has been immaculately maintained, extended and refurbished by the current owners.

On the ground floor the hub of this uniquely styled home is perhaps the kitchen/breakfast room with its bespoke, high quality kitchen units and adjoining dining room overlooking the grounds as well as a garden/television room (originally a wood store). At the opposite end of the house, the well proportioned, dual aspect sitting room offers additional entertaining space or simply a space to relax and unwind, with a vaulted ceiling and stunning exposed brick fireplace with fitted woodburner and feature brickwork as well as timber ceiling beams. Stairs rise to a mezzanine study area.

Off the glazed entrance porch there is a utility room and there is also a ground floor bedroom with fitted wardrobes with adjoining ensuite shower room as well as a stylishly appointed family bathroom.

On the first floor there are three further bedrooms - the master and bedroom two both with luxuriously appointed ensuites and fitted wardrobes and the third bedroom also has good storage.

Outside there is a double garage with room above which offers potential as a gym or excellent storage space, as well as a further outbuilding which has power and heating - ideal for use as a studio or home office.

The delightful grounds have extensive and discreetly placed external lighting and a naturally fed pond with pondside decking platform is a particularly notable feature, as well as an extensive patio sheltered by a timber pergola and established planted borders. The gravelled driveway provides off road parking and access to the double garage.
