Description

"A quintessential period farm house with party barn and scope for secondary accommodation, in outstanding countryside.

Description

This incredibly attractive Grade II listed farmhouse was built in 1749 and is situated in the heart of the Blackmore Vale countryside. Nyland is a hamlet on a no through road approximately seven miles to the southwest of Gillingham.

The house is constructed of stone with a tile roof and has lovely proportions. The impressive, wide hallway has original flag stones leading to the principle rooms, the cloakroom with WC and has French doors to the terrace and garden beyond. The delightful kitchen breakfast room has an oil fired AGA, walk in pantry and is supported by a number of units. The utility is next door which also houses the oil fired boiler with a door to the garden. The family room is neatly off the kitchen, along with a boot room with another door to the garden. The dining room has a beautiful inglenook fireplace and can accommodate a large table. On the other side of the house the comfortable sitting room has a fireplace and French doors leading to the garden. The reading room is linked to the sitting room and the hallway.

Upstairs the principle bedroom has a substantial dressing room and en suite bathroom. There are a further five double bedrooms and a single bedroom which are served by two family bathrooms.

A large range of traditional and modern barns support the main house. There is a substantial party barn. The former cow barn, currently storage, is well placed near the entrance to the former working farmyard and would suit conversion into secondary accommodation, subject to seeking planning. There are a further two agricultural barns, a pair of timber framed stables and a series of storage units.

The gravel driveway leads to the house from the lane. The outstanding gardens wrap around the house with lovely views of the countryside beyond. The flag stoned terrace to the rear is surrounded by beautiful flowerbeds and a pergola providing a focal point. There are a number of native hedges and trees throughout including a small orchard with several species of fruit trees. Beyond is a floodlit tennis court requires resurfacing .
