A very well presented chalet style house in the heart of the thriving and active community of Stourton Caundle.
The double fronted house offers easy living with well proportioned and flowing rooms alongside an easily maintained side and rear garden, all set back and above the village lane. With uninterrupted views to the west to the rear, this lovely house has much to offer.
The front door porch leads to the entrance hallway, off which to the left is the dual aspect living room with feature fireplace and access to the garden at the rear. To the right is the kitchen / dining room with wall and floor units at the rear with the usual appliances and space for dining table to the front.
A recent addition is the conservatory to the side, giving more informal reception space and side access to the garden and the garage.
Upstairs has a dual aspect main bedroom affording wonderful rear westerly views through the picture window. An airing cupboard is on the landing and a further second bedroom has village views to the front of the house. To the rear is a newly refurbished large shower room with freestanding shower, wc, hot towel rail and wash hand basin and again, those westerly views over the Blackmore Vale.
The garage is adjacent to the side entrance with up and over door and it is semi-detached to the neighbours garage.
Situation
Stourton Caundle is a true Dorset village with a very strong community surrounded by beautiful open farmland. The village itself has an attractive Inn, The Trooper, and Church. Two neighbouring villages benefit from public houses and Bishops Caundle has a village shop. Stalbridge is 2 miles and has various local shopping including an excellent family run supermarket, butcher's shop, Post Office and Dentist surgery. For further shopping facilities Sherborne is a short drive and provides an attractive selection of modern and traditional shops around the historic town centre, the centre of which is the Abbey. Sherborne is also well known for its schools.
Directions
From Sturminster Newton, cross the bridge and turn right to Sherborne. Proceed through Lydlinch on the A357, past the turning to Sherborne, and turn left at Waterloo Lane towards Stourton Caundle. Take the 2nd left going down Drove Road. At the t-Junction, after the Village Hall, turn left and the driveway to Bakery Cottage is first on your right, shared with Melway.
Outside
The shared driveway brings you to the front of the house and the left hand garage. The front garden gives a good distance from the village lane and is mostly laid to lawn with ornamental shrubs. A side gate leads to the side and then rear walled garden with extensive patio seating areas over looking the distant views to the west and beyond to the beautiful Blackmore Vale. The garden is mature and well tended to but also maintenance friendly.
Services
Mains water and drainage connected. Electricity is connected to the property supplying electric heating.
