A contemporary barn conversion finished in 2023, this end-terrace home combines rural character with modern efficiency. The large first-floor open-plan living space with exposed timbers and two Juliette balconies captures long views across the surrounding countryside, while a fitted kitchen island and integrated appliances deliver practical everyday living. Four double bedrooms are arranged on the ground floor, giving flexible sleeping or home-work options for families.
Comfort and running-cost savings are clear strengths: an air-source heat pump with underfloor heating throughout, double glazing and an Energy Rating B help keep bills lower than a typical rural property. Outside, the property sits on a substantial plot with a landscaped lawn, paved seating area and a car barn plus additional off-street parking — rare for village living and useful for multiple cars or guests.
Buyers should note a small community charge (about £600/year) and shared communal treatment plant for drainage; council tax is reported above average. The house is end-terrace within a small gated mews of converted farm buildings in a conservation area, so external changes may be limited. Ceilings in some bedrooms are partly sloping, which affects head height and furniture placement.
Quiet but not isolated, the house is under two miles from Sturminster Newton with schools, shops and services. It suits a family seeking countryside lifestyle with good energy performance, or buyers wanting a low-maintenance rural base with generous outdoor space and secure parking.
