Plumber Farm, Plumber, Sturminster Newton

A rare opportunity to purchase a fabulous barn conversion with three double bedrooms, spacious open plan living space, presented to the market with no onward chain and forming part of an exclusive development of other similar properties. The barn is just under two miles from the market town of Sturminster Newton and boasts a rural but not isolated location backing onto farmland. The town caters well for everyday needs with a range of independent shops and chain stores, schooling for all ages, doctor and dentist surgeries and a variety of entertainment venues. The historic town of Sherborne is about twelve miles away and has a mainline train station to London and the West Country. The barn forms part of small development of just eight other properties that have been converted over the last few years, using high quality fixtures and fitting and completed to an exemplary standard. The barn provides contemporary and stylish accommodation whilst retaining the character appeal of its origin. The original trusses have been retained giving it an authentic and pleasing aesthetic atmosphere, many of the rooms have pitched ceilings, which lend character to the building, sustainable wood frame cottage style windows and timber cladding allow the property to blend into the environment and conform to the conservation area requirements. Complying with modern day expectations, there is underfloor heating from an air source heat pump, fully fitted kitchen with fashionable soft closing units, granite work surfaces and appliances. The bathroom and en-suite are fitted with luxurious, contemporary suites. Viewing is essential to truly appreciate this distinctive home.
