Set on the edge of Sturminster Newton, Hunters Moon is a large mid-1970s detached chalet-style bungalow offering versatile accommodation across about 2,270 sq ft. The sitting room, dining room and conservatory form a central hub with direct access to a raised patio and extensive, mature gardens that slope down to open countryside and long-reaching views over the River Stour and Blackmore Vale. The property is chain-free and benefits from a double garage, generous driveway and a standby electricity generator.
The current layout has been adapted by the vendors — two ground-floor bedrooms have been combined into one principal bedroom with an en suite shower, while a third bedroom sits up a short flight of stairs and has a separate en suite WC. These alterations demonstrate the home’s flexibility, but also mean the current configuration may not suit every buyer without reconfiguration back to three separate ground-floor bedrooms. The sizable eat-in kitchen, utility, pantry and reception rooms offer clear scope for modernization to suit contemporary tastes.
Outside is a major asset: a very large, well-planned garden of about 65 metres from the house with lawns, flower and shrub beds, productive vegetable area, greenhouse and sheds. There is gated side access to parking and the adjoining countryside with footpath links (Stour Valley Way, the Hardy Way). Practical points: a private septic tank (serviced April 2025) is in use, and the property is a probate sale with certain rights of way and potential re-application requirements for access over the Pitt-Rivers Estate.
This house will suit buyers seeking space, privacy and strong rural views who are prepared to accept a 1970s-built dwelling that may benefit from updating. It represents a rare, ready-to-move-into but adaptable home on the town fringe, ideal for families who want generous living and garden space or buyers looking for a substantial single-storey residence with countryside access.
