Detached house for sale in Sturminster Newton DT10, 6 Bedroom

The Denhalls is an attractive Edwardian home built in 1910 and sits in just under one acre of gardens overlooking the River Stour and the Blackmore Vale beyond. The house is light and spacious with impressive high ceilings and character features you would expect of a home of this period. It has been meticulously restored and refurbished by the current owners as well as extended with a fabulous orangery which takes full advantage of the west facing gardens and the stunning views beyond.

The accommodation is beautifully balanced and arranged over three floors. The ground floor caters for both day-to-day living with its practical kitchen/breakfast room with Aga and informal sitting room while the more formal dining room and drawing room linked by the impressive orangery make a wonderful space for entertaining. The master bedroom with its walk-in wardrobe and en-suite shower room enjoys wonderful natural light from both its south and west facing bay windows. There are five further well-proportioned double bedrooms, a family bathroom and shower room.
