House For Sale £850,000
A charming detached stone house which has been beautifully and sympathetically renovated with separate barn and stunning gardens near the middle of this sought after village.
Yew Tree Cottage is a Grade II listed house believed to have been originally built in the early 1800s of local Marnhull stone elevations under a pitched tiled roof. Over the years it has been a shop and a cottage with adjoining bakery for the village.
During the last twelve years the house has undergone a programme of sympathetic renovation and modernising and now offers stylish accommodation yet retains character and charm in abundance with features including lovely flagstone floor in the hall, fireplaces, window seats, deep sills and some exposed timbers.
The front door opens into the hall which has an impressive fireplace as well as the flagstone floors and has been previously used as a snug but currently a super dining hall. Steps down lead to an inner hall off which is a cloakroom and a door to the kitchen with an impressive range of wooden hand made floor and wall mounted units and an electric Aga. Beyond the kitchen is a breakfast room.
The drawing room is a fantastic 27' room, great for entertaining and light and bright having a triple aspect and a staircase leading to the first floor master bedroom which has a triple aspect, ensuite bathroom, and views over the garden and distant hills.
The other staircase rises from the inner hall to the first floor. Bedrooms two and four are also both generous double rooms with there being a further good sized bath room. Bedroom 4 is currently set up as a home office.
On the second floor is another lovely double bedroom with exposed timbers and there is a box/store room and large shower room. All the bathrooms, as well as the kitchen have been replaced during the course of the renovation and the house has been re-roofed, re-wired and re-plumbed with a new boiler and central heating system.
Outside is a detached barn and beautiful south and west facing mature gardens.
The property is situated in the heart of the village of Hinton St. Mary which is a Manorial village in a Conservation Area having a fine manor house, village hall, Church, pub and garage. It is surrounded by open countryside which is designated as an area of great landscape value. There are excellent walks from the village and is especially pretty towards the River Stour, which meanders through the vale. Located close to the market town of Sturminster Newton with a good range of local shops and schools. Further shopping facilities are available in the area at Gillingham, Shaftesbury, Blandford and Sherborne. There are primary schools in Marnhull, Sturminster Newton and Gillingham as well as state and many private schools. Gillingham also has a mainline station to London Waterloo.
