DECEPTIVELY SPACIOUS DETACHED FAMILY HOME BACKING ONTO PADDOCKS OFFERED TO THE MARKET WITH NO ONWARD CHAIN

Nestled within a quiet and exclusive development just off the High Street, this beautifully appointed four-bedroom detached family home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy village living in the sought-after community of Sturminster Marshall. Built in 2018 as part of the prestigious Elm Gardens, a private development of just six individually designed homes, this property boasts high-quality finishes throughout and is offered with the remainder of its NHBC warranty.

The home is constructed with attractive facing brick elevations beneath a tiled roof and benefits from gas central heating, with underfloor heating throughout the ground floor. Attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the design, from the porcelain tiled floors and oak-faced internal doors to the bespoke oak staircase and premium kitchen and bathroom fittings. UPVC double glazing adds to the comfort and efficiency of the home.

A covered entrance porch leads into a spacious and welcoming reception hall, complete with a cloakroom. The main sitting room is light and airy, featuring a charming fireplace and double doors opening directly onto the rear garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. A separate study/snug provides an ideal space for working from home or for quiet reading and relaxation.

At the heart of the home is a generous open-plan kitchen and dining room, thoughtfully extended with an orangery area that includes French doors to the garden. The kitchen is beautifully equipped with a wide range of fitted units, granite worktops, and a full suite of integrated appliances including a fridge-freezer, dishwasher, five-burner gas hob, cooker hood, and a Neff electric double oven, making it perfect for family living and entertaining.

Upstairs, a galleried landing leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom includes fitted wardrobes, a dressing area with further built-in storage, and a stylish en-suite shower room. The second bedroom also enjoys fitted wardrobes, picturesque countryside views, and its own en-suite. Two additional bedrooms are served by a fully tiled family bathroom. There is also a large airing cupboard housing the pressurised hot water cylinder, and access to the loft.

Outside, the home is approached via a gravel driveway leading to a block-paved courtyard. The detached double garage has an electric up-and-over door, lighting, power, a gas boiler, and a personal door to the rear courtyard area. A side gate provides access to the rear garden, which is neatly landscaped with a paved patio, a level lawn, and an established laurel hedge offering privacy and greenery. As part of Elm Gardens, the property forms part of a small Residents Association, with an annual maintenance fee of £200 covering communal lighting, Public Liability Insurance, and a sinking fund for shared areas.

Sturminster Marshall is a vibrant and welcoming village with a strong sense of community. Local amenities include a First School, parish church, village hall, recreation ground, maypole green, golf course, post office/shop, pharmacy, two popular pubs, and a café. The village enjoys excellent transport links, with easy access to the A350 and A31, providing convenient routes to Blandford Forum, Dorchester, Poole, and Wimborne Minster.
