Shepherds Walk, West Stafford DT2

Set within the peaceful, village-edge development of Shepherds Walk, this beautifully presented three-bedroom home was completed in 2022 by Montpelier Developments and offers modern, energy-efficient living in an idyllic Dorset setting.

The property has been thoughtfully designed to blend traditional character with contemporary comfort, using high‐quality materials including brick, Douglas fir cladding, and slate tiles to create a home with warmth, style, and individuality. The home further benefits from zonal underfloor heating on the ground floor and radiators on the first floor, all powered by an air‐source heat pump.

On entering, the reception hall provides a welcoming first impression, with two useful large storage cupboards and a discreet cloakroom.

The heart of the home is the spacious kitchen/dining/family room with AEG eye level double oven, ceramic hob and integrated dishwasher. A bright, dual-aspect space with doors opening directly onto the garden, making it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.

A separate sitting room offers a cosy yet elegant retreat, complete with a feature log burner and doors leading out to the garden.

Upstairs, the spacious landing, with two large storage cupboards, provides access to three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, enjoying views to the rear and benefitting from fitted wardrobes and a stylish en-suite shower room with WC, vanity unit and electrically operated Velux window.

Bedroom two also overlooks the rear and includes fitted wardrobes, whilst bedroom three is positioned to the front of the property and features an electrically operated Velux window allowing natural light to pour in - making it a perfect home office, guest room or third bedroom.

The family bathroom is finished to a high standard, featuring a vanity unit, panelled bath with shower screen and rainfall shower.

Outside, the garden has been thoughtfully arranged, with a generous patio area leading onto a well-maintained lawn, enclosed by a combination of fencing and hedging to create a private and peaceful space. The garden also benefits from a greenhouse, established flower borders and raised beds, ideal for those who enjoy gardening.

A gate to the side of the property provides access to the garden and to the garage.

To the front, there is driveway parking for two vehicles leading to a single garage with external EV charger, power and lighting.
