Description
Built just three years ago by the highly respected Pennyfarthing Homes, this beautifully presented semi-detached house combines modern comfort with timeless village charm. Set within an attractive, thoughtfully designed development, the home enjoys the remainder of its new-build guarantee and is ideally positioned within the sought-after village of Fontmell Magna.
The village offers everything you could wish for in a welcoming rural community — a village pub, store with a post office and café, church, primary school, village hall, and a range of local clubs and societies — all nestled amidst Dorset’s stunning countryside.
Inside, a bright entrance hall leads to a spacious sitting room, perfect for relaxing or entertaining, with French doors opening directly onto the garden. The stylish kitchen/dining area features soft-close units, quality integrated appliances, and a second door to the garden — ideal for summer dining. A study provides the perfect home office or hobby space, while a cloakroom/WC and generous storage cupboard complete the ground floor. Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms — two comfortable doubles and a versatile smaller double. The principal bedroom boasts a smart en-suite shower room, while the remaining rooms are served by a modern family bathroom.
Outside, the home continues to impress with off-road parking for two cars, garage with electric door and a surprisingly large, sunny rear garden — a wonderful space for children to play, gardening enthusiasts, or simply enjoying quiet evenings outdoors.
Offered to the market with no onward chain, this superb home is ready to move into and perfectly suited to those seeking a modern, low-maintenance lifestyle in one of Dorset’s most desirable villages.
