East Stoke, Wareham, Dorset

Welcome to Oak Tree Farm. It is utterly unique in its hideaway location of approx. 9 acres, with its beauty and array of outbuildings.

Protected on all sides by broadleaf woodland and open heath and with extensive grounds, including scores of mature oak trees and a babbling brook, the charming period cottage nestling at its centre is an oasis of privacy and tranquillity.

The latched front door leads you into the flagstone LOBBY where you can fling your wellies and hang up your coat. The flagstone floor continues into the KITCHEN/DINING ROOM, a characterful space which includes a Rayburn range, walk in larder and dining table with views out over the gardens.

Off the kitchen is a practical UTILITY room, with a deep sink in place. There is also a large STOREROOM, which is a great storage area for the fruits of your labour from the garden. A GARDENERS LOO completes the 'service' rooms of the cottage. You could convert this area into additional living space.

From the kitchen, walk through the HALLWAY and into the SNUG, a sunny cheerful space with windows which draw light and nature in and a glass house which can be accessed through French windows. There is also an intricately decorated French log burner. The snug could also be used as a third bedroom or study.

The SITTING ROOM is warm and inviting with a wide fireplace and an old brick bread oven under an original oak beam. The stunning wood burning stove has doors which open out so that everyone can fully enjoy the fire. The window seat is a great place to sit and daydream and gaze out across the land.

The stairs will take you to TWO DOUBLE BEDROOMS, seemingly able to blend generosity, character and cosiness. The landing is a generous and sunny area which could be used for reading, sketching or practising yoga.

The BATHROOM serves both bedrooms and comprises a bath, separate shower cubicle, loo and wash basin. The room is bathed with sunlight and when you are in the bath you have a view out across your land to the far hills beyond!

This delightful cottage is more than just a home; it's a lifestyle.

In summer it feels like a seamless extension of the acreage and yet in the cooler months offers the very definition of ‘hygge’ cosiness.

Here, you can enjoy modern, comfortable living in a private, rural setting. Here, you can wake up to the sounds of nature, spend your days exploring your own expansive grounds, and your evenings enjoying the peace and quiet of your secluded retreat. Or you could invite all your friends round for a wild garden party!

Outside
Free from road noise and light pollution, Oak Tree Farm is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the nature which surrounds you. The night sky leaves you breathless and you are living side by side with a huge variety of flora and fauna as befits a farm which has been organic for over four decades.

The land is level and well-drained and is divided into two small orchards, gardens, and a large woodland glade. There is additional land that could be bought in a separate negotiation.

You can just spend your days and nights exploring your expansive grounds and enjoying them with your friends and family in a private magical setting.

Oak Tree Farm has a healthy selection of fruit trees; including apple, pear, greengage, medlar and plum; and soft fruits such as raspberries, gooseberries, loganberries and blackcurrants, not to mention a private water supply from a natural spring and enough firewood from its many trees to keep the home fires burning throughout the winter.

The property's secluded location offers an unparalleled sense of quietness and peace. Yet, it remains conveniently located for easy access to local amenities and transport links.

There are paths and bridleways which lead straight from the farm across the heathland where you can walk, cycle or ride and not encounter a road for miles.
