Wood Lane, Stalbridge, Sturminster Newton, Dorset DT10

A Handsome four/five bedroom detached Georgian residence in the Heart of Stalbridge, offering generous gardens, gated off road parking and detached double garage.

Barrow Hill House is an elegant Georgian?style residence believed to date from the 18th century, showcasing classic period architecture and proportions with stone and white?washed elevations beneath a slate?tiled roof. Set within a conservation area yet free from Grade II listing restrictions, the property offers all the charm of a historic home with the freedom to adapt and enjoy it as you wish.
Occupying a plot of approximately 0.18 acre, the house is approached off Barrow Hill via a secure gated driveway with parking for three vehicles, alongside a detached double garage and a large garden complete with a wildlife pond, mature shrub borders and a delightful summerhouse.
Barrow Hill House unfolds with the elegance and balance typical of Georgian architecture, its rooms arranged to create a natural and inviting flow. The sitting room/dining room is a wonderfully bright and welcoming space, enhanced by traditional sash windows, part?exposed floorboards and an open fireplace that forms a charming focal point. From here, the accommodation leads through to the sun room, a generous and equally light room featuring a striking brick fireplace with an oak mantle and a woodburner inset. French doors open directly onto the sun terrace, allowing the room to transition beautifully into outdoor living during the warmer months.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of base and wall units topped with granite work surfaces, together with an integrated electric double oven, grill and gas hob with extractor above. There is under-counter space for white goods and ample room for a breakfast table, making it a practical and sociable heart of the home. A well-proportioned utility room sits adjacent, adding further convenience alongside a cloakroom.
The first floor is home to two generous double bedrooms positioned at the front of the house, each enjoying far-reaching views over the Blackmore Vale and the surrounding countryside. The principal bedroom located on the first floor has the benefit of a dressing area and en suite. A family bathroom also serves this level.
