Inside

An external door opens to a private staircase rising to the first floor landing, giving the flat a sense of independence from the street level entrance. The sitting room is a generous and welcoming space, enjoying good natural light from the tall front facing window. The traditional fireplace creates a focal point and the proportions allow for versatile furniture arrangements.

The kitchen, positioned to the side, is fitted with timber effect worktops and a range of units providing useful storage. A sash window brings in soft natural light, and the room offers space for everyday cooking and meal preparation. The flat features two bedrooms, both with good ceiling height and wooden framed windows. The main bedroom is a comfortable double, while the second bedroom offers flexibility as a guest room, study or dressing room. The bathroom includes a white suite with bath, WC and wash basin, and benefits from a window for ventilation and natural light.

Throughout the flat, the tall ceilings and traditional internal doors give a sense of character that sits comfortably alongside the practical layout.

Outside

A particularly appealing feature of this home is the private garden, situated away from the Market Place and offering a peaceful outdoor area that is not commonly found with central town flats. It provides space for seating, potted plants and seasonal enjoyment, ideal for a quiet morning coffee or an evening in the sun. The position of the flat itself allows immediate access to all of Sturminster Newton’s amenities, with shops, cafés and bus connections moments away. Despite its convenience, the property retains a sense of privacy and independence thanks to its own entrance.
