Originally constructed in the 1930s as an Evangelical chapel, this detached stone-built property later served as the village hall before being converted by the current owners into a stunning contemporary home. The building has been completely renovated throughout and thoughtfully reimagined by an architect, seamlessly blending historic character with modern design. The result is a beautifully presented residence featuring wonderfully high ceilings and expansive windows that flood the interior with natural light.
The property is double-glazed throughout and benefits from underfloor heating on both floors. Sustainability and modern convenience are key features with future proof wiring for a smart home. Additionally, there is DNO approval for solar panels. Planning permission has been granted for a garage. (Ref: WP/19/00762/FUL)
Karndean flooring runs throughout the property, except in the kitchen/dining area where stylish ceramic tiles have been laid. The generous ENTRANCE HALL features a staircase with a glass balustrade and a skylight, creating an immediate sense of space and light.
The fabulous galleried KITCHEN/DINING/SITTING ROOM is a wonderfully light and impressive space with high ceilings and 5-metre bi-fold doors topped by a large triangular window framing the view. The kitchen is beautifully designed and fitted with a range of contemporary base and wall units with quartz worktops, a Zanussi induction hob, integrated full-height refrigerator, under-counter freezer, integrated double oven, dishwasher, and a granite sink. There is also a pull-out, full-height larder unit and a hand-crafted red cedar wood breakfast bar with storage cupboards beneath. The open-plan layout provides ample space for a sofa and a large dining table, making it ideal for entertaining and family life, the real heart of the home.
The UTILITY ROOM has a base unit, sink with shower tap, and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. A cupboard houses the hot water cylinder, boiler, and underfloor heating manifold. Off the main hallway is a cosy SNUG, a stylish BATHROOM with bath, shower cubicle, vanity basin with sensor-touch mirror, and W.C. Also on this floor are BEDROOMS, TWO, THREE and FOUR.
The first floor is accessed via a galleried landing with a Velux window, leading to the stylish PRINCIPAL BEDROOM which features two walk-in wardrobes and a generous BATHROOM with shower cubicle, bath, vanity basin, and WC. THE GALLERIED ROOM overlooks the kitchen/dining area below, offering a striking architectural feature. This versatile space provides ample eaves storage and is currently used as a study or home office.
Outside
The property is set back from the road and is accessed via a block-paved driveway with parking for circa five vehicles. There is Planning permission for a garage (Ref: WP/19/00762/FUL).
A stone boundary wall, Walnut Tree, and inner wrought-iron fencing frame the frontage. The rear garden is fully enclosed by timber gates and fencing and is laid to astro turf with a Bay Laurel adding interest. Paths run along both sides of the house - one with stepping stones and a Daikin air source heat pump. Slate-topped steps span the rear elevation, leading to wide bi-fold doors opening into the kitchen/dining room. Views of the surrounding hills can be enjoyed from the peaceful enclosed garden.
Location
The charming and sought after village of Sutton Poyntz is nestled beneath the chalk downs to the north of Preston and deserves its reputation as one of Dorset's prettiest villages populated with stone cottages and served by a public house overlooking a duck pond. Within close proximity of the property is a bus service into Weymouth town, local store selling groceries and newspapers, a first school, doctor's surgery, pharmacist and at Bowleaze Coveway a post office/store and off-licence.
