Property description
Dorset Springs was built about 30 years ago with brick elevations under a tiled roof. Subsequently, two magnificent fishing lakes were created, which are well stocked with carp, bream, roach and rudd. The house offers spacious accommodation and of particular note is the recently refurbished kitchen/dining room which is well equipped with modern appliances and granite work surfaces, together with a superb master bedroom suite which includes a dressing room, shower room and magnificent balcony. There are double glazed windows, coved ceilings and gas fired central heating. Overlooking one of the lakes is a disused cottage, and planning permission has been obtained to restore this for use as holiday lets. Within the grounds are substantial stables, together with two large barns and an outbuilding. The property extends in total to around 21 acres.
Dorset Springs is set well back behind a high brick wall along a private drive on the edge of the village of Sturminster Marshall. The house enjoys fine views over its grounds and lakes and the adjoining farmland.
A pair of wrought iron gates set within a high brick wall open to a graveled, tree-lined drive. Beside the entrance drive is a wide expanse of lawn and near the entrance gates is a large timber-clad outbuilding used for storage. Behind the house is a large fishpond with paved surround. The entrance drive continues past the house and leads to the two magnificent lakes, one extending to 3.75 acres and the other to over 2.5 acres. Overlooking the smaller lake is a disused cottage for which planning consent has been granted to restore for use as holiday lets. There are two large barns which are used for implement storage and superb equestrian facilities with a stable block of four loose boxes and tack room. Around the lakes are well maintained grass areas and a number of fine mature trees.
