Copse Hill Broad Oak, Sturminster Newton, DT10

A spacious and modern house boasting a stunning outlook with pasture and woodland

The Dwelling
An individually designed ranch style dwelling with well-appointed spacious accommodation. The original bungalow was constructed in the early 1980’s and was substantially extended and modernised in 2013 to create the open plan kitchen, multiple living rooms and the master bedroom suite with walk-in wardrobes and large ensuite bathroom. The original part contains 3 further bedrooms and a study. The principal rooms and 2 bedrooms enjoy patio door access onto a wraparound patio and lawned garden boasting stunning westerly views.
The dwelling benefits from a large, gravelled drive and parking area leading to a double garage with interconnecting door to the house and a large office over with external staircase.

The Land
Near the house are twin timber stables (12’ x 12’) and lockable feed room.
The land is situated in front of the dwelling and provides 3 fields of permanent pasture which for many years was grazed by the previous owners' Hereford suckler herd. Dotted around the periphery of the holding are 4 areas of mixed broadleaf woodland adding to the conservation and amenity value and providing a level of seclusion.
There are two further access points from the highway.

Location
The farm is situated in a private position on the edge of the hamlet of Broad Oak with Piddles Wood forming the eastern boundary. Only 1 mile north and visible from the house is the former market town of Sturminster Newton which provides a range of everyday facilities including primary and secondary schools, boutique shops, a small supermarket, leisure centre and 2 public houses.
Lying in the beautifully rural Blackmore Vale, the larger towns of Sherborne, Blandford and Shaftesbury are all approximately 10 miles distant.
The area is renowned for its private schooling including Bryanston, Clayesmore, Leweston and the Sherborne schools, all within a 30-minute drive.
The world-famous Dorset Jurassic Coast is within a 60-minute drive.
On the doorstep are an abundance of lanes, footpaths and bridleways to enjoy country living to the full.

Directions
From Sturminster Newton travel south over the River Stour turning off the A357 at The Bull Tavern and drive up the hill into Broad Oak. Take the first fork left up Copse Hill to the top to the last dwelling on the left before Piddles Wood.
