Description

"Set within 11 acres of land with unspoiled views over the Blackmore Vale countryside, this Grade II Listed farmhouse has been carefully updated by the current owners and includes a detached one bedroom cottage.

The Dwelling Constructed in the late 18th century, this Grade II listed farmhouse showcases charming stone elevations beneath a quintessentially traditional thatched roof. Sympathetically updated by the current owners, the property seamlessly blends modern comfort with a wealth of retained character features. Set within 11 acres of gardens and grounds, the residence enjoys unspoilt south westerly views across its verdant surroundings. A detached cottage offers versatile accommodation, ideal for multi generational living or the potential for supplementary income. This exceptional property provides an unparalleled opportunity to acquire a piece of architectural heritage in a truly idyllic setting.

The Farmhouse The ground floor features two generously sized reception rooms, both enjoying a south westerly aspect with unspoilt views over the garden and surrounding countryside. A front facing study, accessed from the hallway, provides a quiet and versatile workspace. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with solid oak worktops and integrated white goods, offering ample space for a dining table and convenient access to the terrace. The first floor accommodates three double bedrooms, alongside a bathroom and shower room.

The Cottage The detached cottage, perfectly complementing the main house, has been fully renovated to showcase character and charm throughout. The kitchen is well appointed to meet all culinary needs and offers ample space for dining. A door from the hallway leads to the bathroom. Adjacent to the kitchen is the living room, while the utility room is positioned at the rear, providing additional functionality as well as rear garden access. Upstairs, the double bedroom enjoys delightful views over the picturesque Blackmore Vale countryside.

Garden The property is approached via two entrances leading to a wraparound driveway, set within approximately one acre of landscaped gardens. Off the driveway, a double garage equipped with light and power provides practical storage, with adjacent access for machinery and livestock to the surrounding fields. At the lower end of the garden, a large pond is complemented by a summerhouse at its border, offering serene views over the neighbouring countryside.

The additional land is primarily agricultural, complete with water trough supplied by a separate metered connection. Alongside the lane, a historic stone holding pound, formerly used for agricultural purposes, is a notable feature of the property and holds Grade II listed status.

To the rear of the cottage lies a private, self contained garden. This space includes well maintained lawns.

Situation Leigh is a vibrant village with a strong community spirit, offering amenities such as a village hall, church, local shop part time post office, and regular "pop up pub" nights. The village is located about 7 miles south of the historic abbey town of Sherborne, which offers a variety of independent shops, supermarkets, restaurants, and cafes. Nearby towns include Yeovil 5.5 miles and Dorchester 18 miles . Sherborne offers excellent schools, including The Gryphon School and several private institutions.
