Set in the conservation village of Cerne Abbas, this modernised five-bedroom detached home blends contemporary comfort with village charm. A substantial rear extension creates an open-plan living hub with skylights, underfloor heating and wide sliding windows that lead straight onto a large, fully landscaped garden — an ideal layout for family life and year-round entertaining.
The house is presented in immaculate order after a full modernisation, with a well-equipped shaker-style kitchen, a 22ft living room with log burner, a useful ground-floor shower/WC off the utility room and flexible reception space that could serve as a home office or ground-floor bedroom. Upstairs there are four well-proportioned double bedrooms and a generous family bathroom.
Practical positives include a gated driveway, detached garage with power and light, very low flood risk, and good mobile reception with superfast broadband (approx. 80 Mbps) available. The property sits on about 0.21 acres of private grounds with a level lawn, mature borders, patio and a summerhouse — plenty of safe outdoor space for children or pets.
Considerations: the home is heated by a modern oil-fired boiler, which has higher running costs and future fuel-supply considerations compared with mains gas; Council Tax is Band F (relatively expensive); and being in a Conservation Area may restrict external alterations. There are two bathrooms serving five bedrooms, which some growing families may want to reconfigure in future.
