Description

This detached house presents a promising opportunity for renovation in the heart of Stalbridge, a quaint town known for its strong community spirit and local amenities. Originally constructed in the 1950s, this home is set on a spacious plot, offering significant potential for modernization and expansion, subject to relevant planning approvals. The interior layout currently features an open-plan kitchen and dining area, providing a good foundation for contemporary living spaces. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms along with a family bathroom and an additional shower room. While the property requires some updating, it offers an excellent canvas for those looking to create a personalized home or investment property. The surrounding grounds enhance the property’s appeal. A driveway leading from Station Road provides ample parking space and access to an integral garage. The house sits centrally on the sizable plot, featuring a raised front garden and a private rear garden, ideal for outdoor activities or further landscaping potential. The eastern section of the property has been prepared for development; planning permission has recently been granted to construct two semi-detached houses, along with garages at the rear. This could provide valuable investment returns or augment your own living space. Stalbridge is recognized as Dorset's smallest town yet boasts a vibrant High Street filled with independently-owned shops and businesses—ranging from a post office to a supermarket—fostering a strong sense of community. Local schools and services are easily accessible, making this location appealing both for families and potential long-term tenants. Additionally, larger towns such as Shaftesbury and Sherborne are just a short drive away, offering even more amenities and services. The property is well-connected with utilities including mains water, electricity, gas, and drainage already in place. With broadband availability ranging from standard to ultrafast speeds and adequate mobile coverage in the area, this residence meets modern connectivity needs while offering exciting possibilities for growth and enhancement.
