A wonderful chance to purchase a bright and roomy modern thatched cottage style home with three double bedrooms, which forms part of a small exclusive courtyard development where town and country merge. The property lies within easy reach of some wonderful country and riverside walks as well as the town centre. Sturminster Newton caters well for everyday needs with a selection of independent shops and chain stores, doctor and dentist surgeries, schooling for all ages and a variety of entertainment venues. The property is about twenty three years old and has been a loved and enjoyed home to our seller for the last three years. During this time it has be well looked after and benefits from new flooring throughout (with the exception of the kitchen), a re-decoration throughout and the ridge thatch was replaced last year (2023). In addition, the property boasts sustainable wood framed double glazing with paned glass windows giving the property that cottage appearance and gas fired central heating from a combination boiler. This lovely home has well proportioned rooms with an easy to use layout that will certainly satisfy many potential buyers' needs. It would make a great lock up and leave UK base or retreat from a hectic working week with the easy maintenance garden or even as a downsize in one's leisure years. However, it would also meet many other requirements and must be viewed to truly appreciate what it has to offer as well as its environment.
