Ashley Road, Marnhull, Sturminster Newton

A beautifully presented and thoughtfully designed four bedroom detached house situated in the popular North Dorset village of Marnhull, within easy reach of everyday amenities and the surrounding countryside. An early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate everything this wonderful home has to offer.

Having been lovingly improved and extended over many years of ownership, the property offers generous and versatile accommodation across two floors. The ground floor is particularly impressive, with an open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room at its heart, the sitting room area featuring a woodburner and double doors to the garden. A further separate sitting room, also with a woodburner and double doors to the garden, offers excellent flexibility and, together with the downstairs shower room, lends itself to annexe potential if required. There are four double bedrooms on the first floor, the principal being a particularly generous room with built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room, together with a family bathroom.

Outside, the garden is enclosed and completely private, arranged over different levels with decking, a patio seating area, a lawn and mature shrubs. The decking is a wonderful entertaining space, complete with a bar, and a garden shed is also found within the plot. Driveway parking for three cars is available.
