Station Road, Stalbridge, Dorset

This detached Victorian farmhouse is within walking distance of Stalbridge town centre and combines five double bedrooms with three reception rooms, a large enclosed garden, parking and a range of barns and outbuildings. Period details described include flagstone and timber floors, exposed beams, sash and leaded-light windows, and fireplaces. The accommodation includes a reception hall, sitting room, further reception room, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room and cloakroom on the ground floor. Upstairs are five bedrooms, two with en-suite facilities, a family bathroom and split-level landings with space for a study or home-working area. The kitchen/breakfast room has fitted cabinetry, work surfaces and space for appliances, with access to the adjoining yard. The rear garden is described as lawned, with mature trees, established shrubs, a patio and a conservatory. The outbuildings provide a range of possible uses, subject to the necessary consents. The listing also reports a positive pre-application response for a proposal to build two three- to four-bedroom dwellings; this is not confirmation of planning permission, and feasibility and any required consents would need to be verified. Stalbridge offers everyday amenities including shops, a supermarket, pharmacy, primary school and community facilities. The surrounding Blackmore Vale provides a countryside setting, with further schools in nearby towns. The house and outbuildings offer scope for different uses, but any development or change of use would depend on the relevant consents.
