West Stour

Location

West Stour is a small parish that presents a fantastic balance of countryside living and immediate amenities whilst forming one of a collection of three Stour villages situated on the Stour River. The village is known for its very well thought of Pub, The Ship Inn, and sought-after Equestrian facility, The Dorset Showground, with further amenities including a church, village hall and garage with a mini supermarket. The larger market towns of Shaftesbury, Gillingham or Sherborne are all situated within a 10-mile radius and provide an excellent combination schooling options, transport links including mainline train stations and further leisure facilities.

The Property

Having been updated by the current owners, the kitchen now flows seamlessly into the dining area and incorporates an array of built in appliances, storage and eating spaces ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The ground floor has been extended to further include a useful family room, study and utility area giving a great sense of flexibility throughout. Upstairs, four comfortable and well-proportioned bedrooms are complimented by two modern bathrooms, one of which is a Jack and Jill.
