5 bedroom detached house for sale

OVERVIEW: This detached chalet-style home occupies a generous overall plot in the heart of Sturminster Marshall and has been comprehensively redesigned and rebuilt by the current owners in the early 2000s, transforming its original form into a spacious, flexible and thoughtfully arranged family home. From the moment you step inside, the sense of space is clear. A wide and welcoming entrance hallway runs through the centre of the house, drawing you naturally toward the main living areas at the rear, while stairs rise neatly to the first floor.

The layout has been carefully planned to suit a wide range of lifestyles, offering excellent flexibility between bedrooms and reception rooms, ideal for families, multi-generational living or those working from home. Generous room proportions, a practical flow and strong connections to the garden combine to create a home that feels both comfortable and adaptable, with plenty of scope to evolve alongside changing needs over time

ACCOMMODATION
The ground floor is particularly versatile. To the front of the property are two well-proportioned rooms, both capable of being used as bedrooms or additional reception spaces depending on individual requirements. A family bathroom serves this level, ideal for guests or ground-floor living. To the rear, the home opens up into a lovely kitchen/dining room, a true hub of the house, with doors opening directly onto the garden. A separate utility room sits behind, providing excellent practicality with its own side access. Completing the ground floor is a comfortable and well-sized living room, positioned to enjoy views over and access to the rear garden.

Upstairs, the accommodation continues to impress. The principal bedroom sits to the rear, enjoying a pleasant outlook over the garden and benefitting from its own en-suite shower room. To the front are two further bedrooms, both well sized and served by a family bathroom, making this level ideal for children or guests.

OUTSIDE AND GARDENS
The property sits back from the road behind a generous frontage, providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles. To the side, double gates lead through to the rear garden, an area where the current owners have previously considered gaining access to create the addition of garaging in the rear garden, offering potential for future buyers if desired (subject to any necessary consents).

The rear garden is a real highlight — designed for ease of maintenance while still offering excellent space and privacy. Immediately beyond the living room and kitchen/dining room is a patio area, perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining. Beyond this, the garden opens into a level lawn, bordered by established hedgerows that provides a strong sense of seclusion. The garden enjoys a sunny aspect, making it an inviting space throughout the warmer months and ideal for families or those who enjoy spending time outdoors.
