Summary - 4, Kings Street, Sturminster Marshall BH21 4BN
3 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Remodelled three-bedroom village cottage with open-plan kitchen and private garden.
Thatched cottage recently re-thatched and sympathetically remodelled
Set in the attractive village of Sturminster Marshall, this beautifully remodelled three-bedroom thatched cottage combines period charm with contemporary living. Recent re-thatching and a sympathetic extension have created a light, airy home featuring exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace and a large open-plan kitchen/dining room with full-width sliding doors and garden views. The principal bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and a dressing area with views across open fields towards the River Stour.
The kitchen is a clear highlight, finished with quartz worktops, an island breakfast bar, high-quality appliances and a lantern skylight that floods the space with natural light. A separate utility area, stylish ground-floor bathroom and a modern family shower room upstairs add practical convenience for family life. Off-street parking for two vehicles and a private, enclosed rear garden with a decked entertaining area complete the package.
Buyers should note a few important facts: the property is thatched, which brings character but also ongoing specialist maintenance and potentially higher insurance costs. The house was constructed before 1900 and walls are assumed to be sandstone or limestone with no insulation, which may influence heating costs and prompt further insulation work. The plot is small, limiting expansion potential, and local school ratings are mixed — nearby primary and secondary options include some schools that currently require improvement.
Overall, this freehold cottage will suit a family or professional couple seeking a village lifestyle with countryside views, character features and a high-standard internal finish, while being mindful of the ownership responsibilities that come with an older thatched home.
