Features and description
- Characterful Home
- Seperate Holiday Cottage
- Rural Views
A characterful 1850s home with modern comforts, far-reaching rural views and generous gardens approaching half an acre. In addition, a charming holiday cottage provides an attractive income stream and additional lifestyle flexibility.
Set along a peaceful no-through lane and surrounded by wonderful Dorset countryside, this charming semi-detached home dates back to the 1850s and was sympathetically extended in 2010 to blend period character with modern comfort. The main house enjoys far-reaching rural views, creating a sense of calm and connection with the landscape from the moment you step inside.
At the heart of the ground floor is a generous kitchen, fitted with an electric AGA and offering space for a separate oven and four-ring LPG gas hob. Underfloor heating adds warmth underfoot, and the room flows naturally into the dining area, making it ideal for relaxed family living and entertaining. Two reception rooms provide inviting spaces to unwind, with the principal room centred around an attractive open fireplace. A dedicated study offers a quiet corner for home working, and a practical utility room—housing the boiler—completes the ground floor.
Upstairs, the first floor offers two comfortable double bedrooms and a third single bedroom, equally suited as a study, dressing room or nursery. The bathroom has been superbly styled with a distinctive submarine theme, featuring a walk-in shower, panelled bath and pedestal sink unit, creating a playful yet elegant space.
Beyond the main house lies an appealing collection of outbuildings including: a substantial workshop with adjoining store, two further stores providing generous storage, and a charming summer house. Fibre broadband to the main house ensures modern connectivity for work and leisure. In addition, there is a stone cottage known as Owls Nest, which was converted in 2014 and is a beautifully presented, self-contained holiday-let unit. It includes a conservatory, a welcoming kitchen/living area complete with woodburner, and its own master bedroom with en suite shower. With planning permission restricted to holiday?let use, Owls Nest offers excellent income potential, with earnings in the region of £20,000 per annum.

The property is located within the picturesque hamlet of Stalbridge Weston, positioned in the Blackmore Vale within rural North Dorset. There is an abundance of country lanes, footpaths and bridleways on the doorstep. It is approximately 1 mile from both the popular village of Stourton Caundle and the small town of Stalbridge. Stourton Caundle has the Trooper Inn pub, a village hall and church. Stalbridge boasts the award winning Dikes family supermarket, primary school and everyday shops.
Stalbridge Weston is 6 miles from the Abbey town of Sherborne with its offering of boutique shops and cafes, private schools and a mainline railway station (Waterloo 2 hours approx) and the former market town of Sturminster Newton.
The gardens extend to just under half an acre or thereabouts and are thoughtfully arranged to complement the rural setting. A well-kept lawn is framed by a variety of fruit and ornamental trees—including copper beech, oak, silver birch, fig, plum and apple—while a gravelled driveway provides ample parking and turning space. Owls Nest enjoys its own patio, whilst opposite there is an ornamental pond with large gardens surrounding.
