Features and description
A stunning and most stylish property which has recently been upgraded and extended on the fringe of this very picturesque Dorset village.
THE PROPERTY
Tucked away on the fringe of this most picturesque village, East Barn is a stunning property constructed in 2001. The property over the years has undergone a fastidious programme of works, and has been very cleverly updated and extended to create an incredible bespoke property with wonderfully light and well-proportioned rooms.
On first entering this magnificent home there is a real sense of charm, space and light, with a large hallway opening out to a truly stunning open plan family kitchen with beautiful oak flooring. The fantastic kitchen is quite simply 'as good as it gets,' with plenty of room for a large breakfast/dining table and incorporating a number of pretty wall and base units including an Aga (cream). There are two double doors giving direct access to the garden and terrace, ideal for al fresco dining. Alongside the kitchen there is also a large laundry room.
On the ground floor is a fantastic study and also a large sitting room with an open fireplace and woodburning stove. The real surprise however is the incredible garden/sunroom which has underfloor heating and sliding doors opening out to the terrace. This is a truly wonderful room constructed of solid oak and can happily be enjoyed all year round.
The first floor is equally as spacious with a mezzanine/gallery landing, currently used as a TV/cinema room overlooking the kitchen. There are five bedrooms in total, including a large master bedroom suite with a newly fitted adjoining shower room, and with four of the bedrooms having the benefit of built-in wardrobes.
The garden, which is situated to the rear of the property, is ideal and safe for children with a paved terrace and large lawned area. There is also a garage and plenty of parking.
All in all, this would make a wonderful primary or secondary home in a truly stunning location.
LOCATION
The property is situated in the lovely village of Alton Pancras, just beyond the head of the sought after Piddle Valley, and is surrounded by lovely Dorset countryside - much of which is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There are very good local services in the larger village of Buckland Newton with lies just 2 miles to the north, including a thriving village store, primary school, church, village hall & playing fields, and The Gaggle of Geese public house. There is a doctors' surgery in Cerne Abbas, less that 10 minutes' drive. Piddletrenthide, less than 2 miles south, also has a first school and village shop. Beyond this is an easy drive south down the valley to the county town of Dorchester where there is an excellent range of facilities. Of particular note is the Conran-designed development at Brewery Square with its cinema, bars, restaurants and leading shops. There is a Waitrose and Tesco in Dorchester for everyday shopping. Up the valley in the other direction is the busy abbey town of Sherborne. Both towns have mainline railway stations with a fast regular service to London Waterloo.
