Description

A charming Grade II Listed farmhouse, complete with stables, a range of outbuildings, and grounds extending to approximately 12.78 acres.

The Property - A charming period farmhouse offering potential for sympathetic renovation and redevelopment (subject to the necessary planning consents). This characterful property comes with extensive outbuildings and land, set in a highly sought-after location close to both countryside and coast.

Accommodation - Spacious and well-proportioned throughout, the accommodation is arranged over two floors. From the front door, a vestibule provides access to two generously sized rooms, both featuring front-facing stone mullion windows, exposed flagstone floors, and fireplaces.

Beyond the main rooms, there is a kitchen/utility area, a rear hall with a door to the side, a second staircase to the first floor, and a door opening into a rear sitting room.

Attached to the property is a charming stone and thatched old dairy barn with an adjoining saddle room.

Upstairs, the first floor offers five well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Outside - The extensive grounds extend predominantly to the south and west of the property, creating a wonderful sense of space. Sweeping areas of grass gently slope down towards the banks of the River Wey, offering picturesque views. A bridge crosses the river, leading to paddocks, ideal for grazing.

A range of outbuildings supports a variety of uses. These include a traditional hay barn, two well-maintained stable blocks offering a total of eight loose boxes, along with a dedicated store room. In addition, to the rear of the site is a substantial workshop and general-purpose store, ideal for machinery, vehicles, or additional storage. The grounds also benefit from extensive parking and generous vehicular access throughout the site. The sale of the property includes a static mobile home/office .

Situation - The property is situated on the northern outskirts of the coastal resort of Weymouth. The location offers the best of both worlds, surrounded by countryside yet within easy access to everything expected from the traditional seaside resort of Weymouth and the busy county town of Dorchester.

A mainline railway station is just a few minutes walk away at Upwey, providing direct routes to to London Waterloo & Bristol Temple Meads. Cycle, footpath and bridleways are all close by and offer great non-car links to Weymouth and Dorchester. There are both primary and secondary schools close by on Dorchester Road. Weymouth town can be found within approximately two miles and offers a comprehensive range of shops, marina, as well as cultural, recreational and further educational facilities.

The area also provides the opportunity to enjoy a range of sailing and water sports activities, particularly at the Weymouth & Portland National Sailing Academy. Nearby, there are sandy beaches and walks along the World Heritage Jurassic Coastline.
