Kingston, Sturminster Newton
£675,000

Description:
Nestled in the heart of the semi-rural Dorset landscape, this sympathetically modernised cottage offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Kingston’s history without sacrificing contemporary comfort. Following an extensive programme of renovations and a substantial extension, the home seamlessly bridges the gap between historic character and 21st-century practicality.

The Living Spaces:
The ground floor is designed for both intimate family life and grand-scale entertaining. The heart of the home is the stunning open-plan kitchen and dining area, a bright and airy space that serves as the social hub of the property. For more formal or cozy occasions, the cottage boasts three distinct reception rooms, each retaining unique architectural charm. Modern efficiency is at the forefront of the renovation, with underfloor heating installed throughout the entire home, ensuring a consistent and comfortable climate year-round. Beyond the main kitchen, a separate and highly practical utility room adds to the ease of daily living. The accommodation is remarkably flexible, featuring three to four double bedrooms that can be easily adapted to suit your specific lifestyle, whether you require a dedicated home office, a hobby room, or a spacious guest suite. This Characterful home is heated from an air-source heat pump, one of the reception rooms offers a wood-burning stove for a more cozy and intimate setting. An impressive master bedroom is the only room in the house requiring some finishing touches (carpets and minor carpentry) but it offers a walk-in dressing room and superb ensuite with bath and separate shower.

The Exterior:
Set on approximately one-quarter of an acre, the exterior of the property is as impressive as the interior. The gardens offer a private sanctuary, blending productivity with relaxation. The grounds feature an array of established fruit trees and a charming, original well that provides a focal point of historical interest. For those seeking a creative space or a quiet retreat, the garden includes a versatile workshop and studio. Practicality is woven into every detail, with a private garage and driveway providing ample off-road parking, alongside thoughtfully placed outside taps to make garden maintenance effortless. This cottage is truly more than just a home; it is a lifestyle, offering the tranquility of the Dorset countryside combined with the assurance of a property that has been expertly prepared for the future.
