This converted Edwardian stables offers spacious, family-focused accommodation across 3,584 sq ft. The heart of the home is a large kitchen/dining room with island and glazed doors onto a generous patio and garden, ideal for everyday family life and entertaining. Ground-floor comfort is enhanced by underfloor heating and a cosy sitting room with a stone fireplace and wood burner.
Five well-proportioned bedrooms occupy the first floor, with two bedrooms served by ensuite bathrooms and three further bedrooms sharing a contemporary family bathroom. Practical spaces include a large utility room, a dedicated office with a wood-burning stove, plentiful built-in storage and a collection of outbuildings: triple-bay garage, workshop, timber shed and car port. Solar panels (16 panels) reduce energy draws and the site is set well back from the road on a very large plot with mature trees.
Buyers should note material constraints: the property and its ice house are listed, which may restrict alterations and cause additional costs or delays for repair or refurbishment. Some fabric and services date from earlier eras — double glazing was installed before 2002 and broadband speeds in the area are slow — and council tax is described as expensive. Flood risk is very low and the village location gives good local amenities and schools while remaining close to Dorchester and the Jurassic Coast.
