Description
Apart from ongoing maintenance little has been done to the house in the intervening period and it now needs refurbishing. The house is Grade II listed and has retained many original fittings including six-panel doors, timber and flagstone floors, fireplaces, working shutters and picture rails. The house also has a rear service wing incorporating the house's original kitchen, complete with a cooking range and large Welsh dresser, a laundry room equipped with a double copper and bread oven plus a brewhouse and timber store. The house has four good-sized reception rooms, one of which is used as an office and another serves as the kitchen, along with a suite of very impressive cellars beneath. The first floor contains seven bedrooms and there are four further double rooms in the attics. The house sits back from the passing road behind tall, mature hedging in a garden of about an acre. The original drive has been grassed over but has retained two front entrances to allow for the easy passage of a mail coach pulled by six horses. In all about 1.07 acres

Situated within the Cranbourne Chase AONB, Arundell Farmhouse is midway between the villages of Donhead St. Andrew and Ludwell, surrounded by unspoilt, gently rolling countryside. The former has a church and village hall and the highly regarded Forester Inn and the latter also has an excellent village shop/post office, pub, farm shop and an award-winning butcher. Tisbury and Shaftesbury can both be reached in a few minutes by car and have extensive amenities including good local shops. Shaftesbury offers a choice of supermarkets and there is an excellent Waitrose in the neighbouring town of Gillingham. For wider requirements, Salisbury and Bath are both within a reasonable distance. There is a wide choice of schooling locally both from the independent and state sectors. Independent schools including Sandroyd, Port Regis, Clayesmore, Hanford, Bryanston and the Sherborne schools are all within a 20-mile radius. Transport links are good with a regular, fast rail service to Waterloo from Tisbury (12 minutes) and Bournemouth Airport is only about 45 minutes away.
