Motcombe, Shaftesbury, SP7

Built in 2005 for the current owners, Stirling House is the epitome of luxury living and timeless elegance. Meticulously designed and crafted with the utmost care, this exquisite residence offers the perfect balance of refined comfort and practical family living. Whether you seek a peaceful sanctuary or an entertainer’s dream, this home caters effortlessly to both.

Recently overhauled in spring 2025, Stirling House boasts a superior quality of finish inside and out. The exterior is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, featuring walls of beautifully dressed Shaftesbury greenstone, elegant Bath stone window surrounds, bronze casement windows, and a distinguished slate roof — a combination that exudes character and permanence.

Step inside to discover an interior defined by solid oak flooring, exposed oak beams, and soaring vaulted ceilings that grace every bedroom. The heart of the home is a stunning farmhouse-style kitchen, newly installed to the highest standard, complemented by bespoke cabinetry under solid wood worktops and top-of-the-line integrated appliances. A peninsula island cleverly separates the kitchen from the dining area, creating a casual breakfast bar while maximizing storage. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and family room unfolds gracefully with triple-aspect windows, roof-lights, and French doors that flood the space with natural light and offer captivating views across the mature garden. This expansive yet intimate area is perfectly designed for both lively entertaining and quiet family moments. Adjacent to the principal reception rooms, a charming sitting room with a focal open fireplace invites relaxation, while a versatile ground-floor bedroom or study offers flexibility for modern living. A newly refurbished family shower room completes the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, three generous double bedrooms await, including a principal suite featuring a luxurious en-suite shower room. A beautifully appointed family bathroom, complete with a roll-top slipper bath, serves the remaining bedrooms with style and comfort.

Stirling House is a rare opportunity to acquire a home of exceptional design, quality, and location — a true ‘forever home’ that will leave a lasting impression. We warmly invite you to experience its unique charm for yourself.
