Description

**Video Available**

Set within the unspoilt surroundings of Higher Frome Vauchurch, this detached family home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy peaceful countryside living while remaining within easy reach of nearby amenities.

Positioned in the heart of the Frome Valley, the property enjoys a setting defined by rolling Dorset countryside, quiet lanes and a true sense of rural calm — yet sits just moments from the well-served village of Maiden Newton, where everyday essentials, a popular local school, welcoming café and access to scenic walks are all close at hand.

A Home Designed for Everyday Living
The property offers well-balanced and practical accommodation, ideal for modern family life.
At its heart is a spacious kitchen/dining room, a sociable space designed for both day-to-day living and entertaining. Fitted with classic cottage-style units, wooden worktops and integrated Miele appliances & Rangemaster cooker, the room is further enhanced by underfloor heating, adding a layer of comfort often missed but immediately appreciated.

Also providing access to a Utility/WC with French doors opening directly onto the garden, allowing the space to flow naturally outdoors.

The main reception room is particularly generous in length, offering flexibility for seating and relaxation, centred around a dual-fuel wood burner that creates a warm and inviting focal point. With wooden flooring underfoot and doors opening onto the garden, it’s a room that works equally well for quiet evenings or hosting family and friends. Internal access to the garage add further practicality.

Upstairs – Space & Outlook
The first floor continues the home’s well-proportioned feel, offering three bedrooms, all with fitted storage.

One bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while another enjoys access to a private balcony, perfectly positioned to take in the surrounding countryside — a peaceful spot to start or end the day.
The family bathroom is well-appointed, featuring a freestanding bath, separate shower and vanity storage, creating a comfortable and functional space.

Outside – Garden & Practicality
The rear garden is enclosed and thoughtfully arranged, combining lawn, mature planting and seating areas to create a space that is both attractive and usable.
To the front, there is off-road parking for two vehicles along with a garage equipped with power, lighting, plumbing and an electric roller door.

Energy Efficiency
The property benefits from solar panels installed in 2019, owned outright, contributing to energy efficiency and offering the potential for income through surplus energy returned to the grid.
