3 Ring Street, Stalbridge, Sturminster Newton, DT10

‘Candlestick Cottage’ is a beautifully presented, double-fronted, mid-terrace, natural stone, period, Grade II listed character cottage situated in the pretty heart of this sought-after Dorset town with excellent amenities on the doorstep. The property has been the subject of extensive improvement throughout and yet sympathetically retains many character features including an Inglenook fireplace with cast iron log burning stove, window seats, exposed beams and natural stone internal elevations. The cottage enjoys a level rear garden enclosed by attractive natural stone walls and offering excellent privacy. The rear garden boasts a sunny easterly aspect. There is free street parking nearby. There are lovely countryside and town centre walks from nearby the front door – ideal as you do not need to put the dogs or the children in the car! The main house offers bright, deceptively spacious accommodation and is heated by electric night storage heaters, a cast iron log burning stoves and also benefits from secondary double glazing and some uPVC double glazing. The accommodation boasts excellent levels of natural light from a sunny west-to-east aspect and comprises entrance porch, large sitting room / dining room and open-plan kitchen / breakfast room. Stairs rise from the dining room area to a first-floor landing area, two generous double bedrooms and a family bathroom. There is a large loft storage area offering potential for a loft conversion (subject to the necessary planning permission). Stalbridge is Dorset’s smallest town and offers a selection of good pubs, a Church of England primary school, dentist’s, library, optician’s, chemist’s, post office and petrol station. The town proudly boasts Dikes, a family run, independent superstore, deli and café, which is a short walk away and convenient for a wide range of good quality supplies.
