Summary - House 1, Lilac Cottage, Hunger Hill, East Stour SP8 5JR
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious country home with garden backing onto open fields and garage.
Modern detached four-bedroom family house in local Marnhull stone
Set in a quiet East Stour hamlet, this modern detached family home blends stone character with contemporary living. The open-plan kitchen/dining/living space and separate sitting room with a wood-burning stove create flexible family hubs with far-reaching Blackmore Vale views from both floors.
Four double bedrooms sit on the first floor, the principal bedroom benefiting from built-in wardrobes, an en-suite shower room and a Juliette balcony overlooking open fields. Engineered oak flooring and underfloor heating to the ground floor add comfort, while double glazing and an air-source heat pump help deliver an Energy Performance Rating of C.
Outside, the large garden backs directly onto pasture, offering a private, sunny lawn and paved terrace for family play and al fresco dining. Practical benefits include a sizable garage with power and water, ample driveway parking and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal—useful in this peaceful, rural location.
Considerations: the property is in Council Tax Band F so ongoing local tax costs are higher than average. Heating is electric via an air-source heat pump on an unspecified tariff, so buyers should confirm running-cost expectations. Overall, this is a well-appointed family home in a desirable Dorset village, ideal for buyers seeking space, countryside views and modern efficiency.
