Langton Long, Blandford Forum

IN THE AGENT'S OPINION THIS IS THE BEST CHARACTER PROPERTY CURRENTLY AVAILABLE WITHIN THIS PRICE BAND

This beautifully presented and distinctive home seamlessly combines modern amenities with charming character features. Originally a Georgian stable block, it was converted into ten mews houses in the 1980s. The property is accessed via a communal octagonal courtyard, leading to the front door and entrance hallway.

The kitchen features cream wall and base units paired with a stunning wooden countertop and is equipped with a range of integrated Miele appliances. Currently, it accommodates a four-seater table and chairs and is laid with tiled flooring. The spacious sitting room boasts a brick fireplace with a functional chimney, creating a cosy focal point. Wooden flooring adds warmth to the space, while a French door opens onto a private terrace via a set of steps.

On the first floor, the landing features a striking half-circle window, offering scenic views across the landscaped parkland and toward the River Stour. The generously sized master bedroom enjoys beautiful views and comes with a built-in wardrobe. It is serviced by a fully tiled ensuite bathroom with a shower, basin, and WC. A second bedroom on this floor accommodates a double bed and also includes a built-in wardrobe. The family bathroom is fully tiled and features a bath with an overhead shower, a basin, and a WC.

This bedroom benefits from a fully tiled ensuite shower room with a white suite, including a shower, basin, and WC. Completing the accommodation on this floor is a mezzanine landing, boasting a vaulted ceiling. This area could serve as a home office.
