Description

Available for long-term rental, Knighton House is a beautifully restored, unlisted period farmhouse set in over 12 acres of landscaped gardens, pasture and woodland. The estate includes fishing rights on the River Stour, a self-contained guest cottage, and full equestrian facilities including a stable yard and a professional manege.

This impressive residence offers more than 7000 square feet of thoughtfully designed accommodation across three floors. The entrance hall doubles as a library and sets the tone for the rest of the home, which includes a triple-aspect drawing room with countryside views and a traditional stone fireplace, and an elegant dining room with direct access to the kitchen. The kitchen itself has been created by Neptune and features hand-painted cabinetry, a four oven Aga, Siemens appliances, Quartz worktops, and a walk-in pantry. A spacious boot room includes a dog shower and utility facilities, and a hidden study with external access provides an ideal workspace. A cosy snug with wood-burning stove offers a perfect retreat for informal family time, while a cloakroom completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, the first floor includes two large double bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms, a further double with en-suite bathroom, and a connecting fourth bedroom that can be used as a dressing room or additional bedroom. The principal suite enjoys stunning views over the surrounding countryside, a walk-in wardrobe, and a beautifully finished en-suite shower room. On the top floor, there are three further bedrooms and a shower room, ideal for guests or additional family members.

In addition to the main house, the former stable block has been converted into a fully self-contained one-bedroom cottage with a sitting room, kitchen, and en-suite shower room. The outbuildings also include a cinema and games room, a pub, a fully equipped double gym and studio, two double garages with electric doors (one of which is detached), and a listed granary set on original staddle stones.

Knighton House is well equipped for equestrian tenants. The oak-framed stable block contains three loose boxes, a tack room and machinery store, and a 57-metre by 20-metre manege sits adjacent. Paddocks surround the yard and are laid to pasture, with fencing and water points in place.

The gardens and grounds offer a blend of formal and functional spaces. Landscaped lawns lead to a terrace with an outdoor kitchen and dining area, alongside an above-ground swimming pool. A kitchen garden includes raised beds, fruit cages and a greenhouse, and woodland areas provide privacy and beautiful walks. To the north, the property borders the River Stour and includes a small private lake with fishing rights.

Knighton House is approached via electric gates and a sweeping carriage driveway. The neighbouring property, Henry’s Cottage, has legal access over a secondary track that runs past the stable yard. Two additional parcels of woodland on Knighton Lane provide further privacy and separation from neighbouring land.

Located in a peaceful setting close to AFC Bournemouth’s Training Facilities, Wimborne, Poole and Bournemouth, Knighton House offers rural seclusion with excellent local access. This is an outstanding long-term rental opportunity for families, equestrian tenants or those seeking a private country lifestyle in a beautifully restored home to the highest specification.
