5 bed detached house for sale

Stormore, Dilton Marsh BA13

Whilst the original cottage has been absorbed within a comprehensive extension, the face stonework and brick coynes hint to the heritage of the cottage's origins. The house is now a beautifully presented detached home that successfully combines period charm with the comforts and practicalities of modern living. An enclosed porch opens to the hall with cloakroom and practical storeroom. At the heart of the home lies a superbly proportioned and extremely well-appointed, triple aspect kitchen/breakfast room with a separate utility room. The sitting room has a central fireplace and wood burner and now opens to an impressive oak framed and vaulted reception room. This has under floor heating beneath stone tiling and doors lead out to the garden terrace. To the side of this spacious room is a further seating area that opens to a family room and study beyond with a central fireplace, part of the original period cottage. The first floor accommodation comprises well-proportioned rooms including a principal bedroom suite with a glazed balcony looking out across the vaulted timbers of the oak reception room below. This room is complimented by a modern fitted en-suite shower room with the guest bedroom also having an en-suite bathroom completed with modern tiling. There are two further bedrooms plus a fifth bedroom/study, all served by the family bathroom.

Outside

At the head of a private lane, the house is set behind Estate fencing with a five bar gate. The entrance is approached across a large turning driveway providing extensive parking. This leads to a double garage with attached garden store and access to a covered rear porch. This extends the length of the house and is adorned by a mature vine with adjacent garden area. The rear garden is mostly laid to lawn with recently laid resin bonded terrace, providing the perfect area to entertain and enjoy the southerly aspect with open fields beyond.
