Set in the picturesque and tranquil village of Fifehead St. Quintin, this beautifully refurbished and meticulously renovated five-bedroom detached home offers a harmonious blend of historic charm, character, and outstanding modern living. Sympathetically restored, the property has been updated throughout, incorporating high-quality materials and finishes that enhance its original features while introducing the conveniences and comforts of contemporary design. Each room has been individually styled, offering a distinct personality and purpose, making the home not only practical but also deeply inviting.

On the ground floor, the expansive SITTING ROOM serves as the true heart of the home. Characterful exposed stonework, timber ceiling beams, and a magnificent inglenook fireplace housing a wood-burning stove combine to create a wonderfully atmospheric and cosy central space—ideal for both quiet evenings and social gatherings. Leading from the sitting room is the generous FAMILY ROOM, which is perfect as a secondary lounge, playroom, reading nook or informal living area, offering versatility for modern family life. Tucked just off the sitting room is a quiet and functional HOME OFFICE/SNUG, a must-have in today’s flexible working climate. Whether used as a study, hobby room, or additional lounge, it’s a space that adapts effortlessly to your needs. Additionally, the nearby contemporary SHOWER ROOM and separate access to the garden would also lend this room to use as a comfortable downstairs GUEST BEDROOM. The striking DINING ROOM provides an exceptional space for entertaining. Spacious enough to host large dinner parties or family gatherings, it features double doors that open directly onto the garden, creating a lovely flow between indoor and outdoor living. The KITCHEN is well-appointed with extensive wooden worktops, floor-mounted cabinetry, a built-in sink, and ample space for a range of white goods. It offers both charm and practicality and is conveniently placed adjacent to the dining area. The nearby UTILITY ROOM includes further worktops, wall and floor-mounted cupboards, a walk-in pantry, additional sink, plus space and plumbing for further white goods such as a washing machine, tumble-dryer and fridge-freezer. The ENTRANCE HALL is welcoming and light-filled, setting the tone for the rest of the home, and is complemented by a CLOAKROOM, a PORCH, and a useful STORAGE ROOM for added functionality.

Upstairs, there are five beautifully finished bedrooms. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is particularly generous in size, offering a peaceful outlook over the garden, along with a generous WALK-IN WARDROBE. Formerly an ensuite, the pipework remains under the floor to be reconverted if desired. The generous four further bedrooms each offer their own charm, with plenty of space, warmth, and individuality. A stylish and well-equipped FAMILY BATHROOM serves the remaining bedrooms and completes the first-floor layout.

Outside
Outside, the property is equally impressive with its thoughtfully landscaped and well-maintained garden, designed for both practicality and enjoyment. Gravel pathways, natural stone features, and a variety of mature plants and shrubs provide year-round interest, while designated seating areas offer peaceful spots for outdoor dining or relaxation. A secure gated driveway opens into a spacious gravelled courtyard, offering generous off-road parking for multiple vehicles. To the side of the house is a SINGLE GARAGE, complemented by a LARGE WORKSHOP/STORE, perfect for DIY projects, storage, or future conversion (subject to any necessary consents). This wonderful home is situated within a quiet, rural village setting, yet remains conveniently close to the amenities of Sturminster Newton and surrounding Dorset countryside. It offers the perfect blend of countryside charm and modern convenience, making it an exceptional opportunity for families or anyone seeking a character home with space and style.
