A stylish three-bedroom detached home set within an award-winning, small development in the sought-after village of Marnhull. Constructed in local Marnhull stone and finished to a high standard, the house offers modern comforts including ground-floor underfloor heating, a gas-fired boiler and an NHBC-backed build. The layout is practical: a central hall leads to a generous dual-aspect living room with a wood-burning stove, a fitted kitchen/diner with French doors to the rear garden, utility and cloakroom. Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms, the principal with an en-suite, plus a modern family bathroom.
Outside, the property benefits from an enclosed front garden, private rear lawned garden and driveway leading to a detached single garage. The development is small and characterful (13 homes), set in a rural village with very low crime, fast broadband and a range of local shops, two pubs and community amenities. Commuting and larger shopping are served by nearby Sturminster Newton (3.5 miles) and several market towns within 6–11 miles.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the house is freehold, newly built/renovated (2020) with an NHBC warranty, average overall size at about 1,146 sq ft, and council tax is above average. Mobile signal is average and the locality is classified as remoter farming communities — ideal for buyers prioritising village life over urban convenience. Some nearby primary schools have mixed Ofsted reports; good secondary school options exist in surrounding towns.
