Situation - Whitfield Farm Cottage is neatly situated between Bradford Peverell, a picturesque village surrounded by rolling countryside, and Poundbury, Prince Charles’s vision for sustainable, community-focused living. Poundbury offers an exceptional range of local facilities, from artisan cafés and boutique shops to a Waitrose and the wonderful Great Field. Though distinctly different in character, the two areas are closely linked by their access to the amenities and charm of the county town of Dorchester, just a short drive or cycle away. With both local schools and hospitals also within easy reach, this unique positioning allows residents to enjoy the tranquillity and heritage of rural village life in Bradford Peverell, while remaining firmly connected to the vibrant, modern lifestyle of Poundbury and the broader offerings of Dorchester.

Key Features - A charming entrance opens onto a characterful and spacious entrance hall, setting the tone for the property. In the heart of this idyllic home is a lovely farmhouse kitchen with AGA and French doors leading to a private south-facing courtyard. The ground floor includes kitchen, two welcoming reception rooms, a utility room and separate W/C. There is a separate, generously sized double bedroom benefiting from an en-suite, offering unlimited potential to be used as an office, hobby space or a B&B opportunity. On the first floor, you will find a spacious principal bedroom with en-suite, three further bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, and a family bathroom. All rooms, flooded with plentiful natural light enjoy garden or meadow views, lending a sense of tranquility throughout.

Approached via a bridleway from Poundbury Road, Whitfield Farm Cottage offers parking for several vehicles and includes a detached double garage. The mature, beautifully tended grounds are a true highlight, featuring an attractive patio and lawned gardens. An archway leads through to a private paddock, which sits parallel to a picturesque vineyard.

A secluded courtyard to the rear of the cottage provides an ideal setting for alfresco dining, and lovely countryside walks are accessible directly from the doorstep. A natural spring also runs along the rear boundary of the property, adding to its tranquil charm.
