Plumber, Sturminster Newton, Dorset

A beautifully presented former farmhouse with magnificent oak framed extension now offering spacious and contemporary family accommodation and fine views in a semi-rural location.

The Property - Plumber Farmhouse is a detached house built of red brick in 1937. The current owners have added a fantastic oak framed extension to create a stunning ground floor living space with French doors opening out to the private garden.

The ground floor accommodation is largely open plan. The main kitchen / family / living space is superb with engineered oak floors and an oak frame extension creating a hugely versatile family space. There is a boot room and ground floor shower room and the kitchen is well equipped with a range of wall and base units, large island and Belfast sink. The living area has a large cylindrical wood burning stove and French doors to the garden at the rear. There is a dual aspect sitting room / snug with windows in the south and east elevations, and a fireplace along with a utility room and separate WC.

On the first floor there are four good bedrooms. The master bedroom is dual aspect and has a superb ensuite bathroom with two showers, large bath, wash hand basin and WC. There are three additional double bedrooms, each with fantastic views over the surrounding countryside, and a family bathroom.
