Greystones, Broad Oak, Sturminster Newton, DT10 2HD

A truly exceptional and characterful detached home set within the peaceful hamlet of Broad Oak, just a short distance from the market town of Sturminster Newton in the heart of the Blackmore Vale.

Originally comprising three separate cottages, the property has been thoughtfully and sympathetically combined and extended over the years to create a wonderful family home that seamlessly blends original period features with high quality contemporary living.

Extending to approximately 2,320 square feet across two floors, this is a home that must be seen to be truly appreciated.

The property retains a wealth of wonderful original features throughout including exposed stone walls, original oak beams, inglenook fireplaces and period doorways, all sitting in perfect harmony with the modern extension off the kitchen, which creates a spectacular dining room flooded with natural light from skylights above and bifold doors opening directly out to the patio.

Two woodburners, a stunning kitchen with range cooker and large island, and four well proportioned bedrooms, three bathrooms and three reception rooms complete the picture, making this a wonderfully versatile home suited to family living and entertaining alike.

Outside, a wrap around garden enjoys outstanding countryside views and an excellent degree of privacy, with open fields beyond the garden boundary.

A patio off the dining extension, a vegetable garden, greenhouse, workshop, additional studio shed and a feature pond all sit within the plot. Offered for sale with the benefit of no onward chain.
