Location
The picturesque village of Stour Provost mostly consists of Grade II Listed attractive period houses and stone cottages. The village is conveniently located with close proximity of the A30 which provides easy road access to both Shaftesbury and Sherborne. Being a rare ‘cul-de-sac’ village and having no through traffic it sits in an elevated position above the River Stour in the area of The Blackmore Vale. The village is in a Conservation Area with a church and primary school whilst nearby, East Stour offers a very popular public house and successful farm shop and café.
The village hall is the heart of the community and regularly hosts all manner of events including quiz nights, exercise classes as well as a themed supper evenings.

The Property
Stepping into the main sitting room via the useful entrance porch, the room is dominated by a stunning inglenook fireplace whilst the space also plays host to exposed wooden beams and a stone flooring. Further beyond and overlooking the rear garden is the kitchen; a wooden suite is set against a tiled backdrop with an inset Belfast sink and room for appliance spaces. Also located on the ground floor is the family bathroom that could benefit from modernisation. Upstairs the space opens to a generous landing that could very comfortably be converted to a second bedroom whilst the main room is a bright, spacious room.
