Summary - GOLDEN HILL HOUSE STOURTON CAUNDLE STURMINSTER NEWTON DT10 2JW
5 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Spacious village home with huge garden and development potential for families.
Five double bedrooms across three floors with countryside views
Golden Hill House is a substantial double-fronted period cottage offering five double bedrooms across three floors and about 2,640 sq ft of flexible living space. Set in an exceptionally large, level plot of approximately 0.32 acres, the gardens extend to around 250ft with mature fruit trees, a summer house, greenhouse and off-street parking for five cars. The village-centre position places countryside walks and the pub moments away while Sherborne and its mainline rail link are a short drive.
The well-proportioned interior includes a large kitchen/breakfast room, sitting room with log burner, separate dining room and a long conservatory/garden room. The home has oil-fired central heating, a mix of double and secondary glazing and good natural light from dual and triple aspects. There is scope for reconfiguration or extension (subject to necessary planning permission) — the house previously had consent for a rear second-storey extension.
Buyers should note the property’s period stone elevations likely lack modern cavity insulation and some upgrading may be required to improve thermal efficiency and heating costs. Heating is oil-fuelled (not community) and some windows are secondary glazed rather than full modern installations. Council tax is above average. The cottage lies within a conservation area but is not Grade II listed, which affects potential works and permissions.
This house will suit buyers seeking a roomy family home with garden amenity and village life, or those wanting renovation/refurbishment potential in a sought-after Dorset setting. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the plot scale, room proportions and countryside outlooks from the upper bedrooms.
