Osmington, Dorset

Thought to date back to 1837, this semi-detached former farmhouse is well placed to enjoy breathtaking, far-reaching views to the sea.

Step into the welcoming RECEPTION/DINING HALL, where elegant flagstone flooring and generous built-in storage along the rear wall immediately set the tone for a home that effortlessly blends character and comfort, while offering a practical area for daily living.

To the left, the contemporary SHOWER ROOM features a walk-in shower, hand-wash basin, and W.C. Flagstone flooring continues here, creating a seamless flow from the dining hall.

The heart of the property is the dual aspect KITCHEN/BREAKFAST ROOM, a space designed for both family life and entertaining. The kitchen is fully equipped with a Liebherr freestanding tall refrigerator, Bosch™ slot-in dishwasher, Bosch eye-level double oven, and Neff™ five-ring gas hob. A central peninsula provides additional workspace and casual seating, perfect for breakfast, informal dining, or socializing while cooking, ensuring the kitchen functions as the true hub of the home.

The FAMILY ROOM exudes warmth and comfort, with high ceilings, and an original fireplace housing the wood-burning stove. French doors open directly onto the sheltered terrace, ideal for relaxed summer evenings or cozy winter nights, offering seamless indoor-outdoor living.

The dual aspect SITTING ROOM at the front of the house is both sophisticated yet welcoming. A fireplace with inset wood burning stove provides a central focal point and ensures a cosy atmosphere. A generous bay window frames glorious far-reaching views across the undulating countryside to the sea. The room’s elegant proportions and natural light create an inviting space for entertaining or quiet reflection, a real retreat in which to relax.

Stairs rise to the first-floor landing, where there are four well-proportioned BEDROOMS and a FAMILY BATHROOM. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM enjoys breathtaking panoramic countryside and sea views. There are fitted wardrobes, exposed beams, and a charming fireplace with an electric wood burner. BEDROOM TWO is another generous double with a cast-iron fireplace, fitted wardrobes, and original timber flooring. The THIRD BEDROOM features dual-aspect windows with both countryside and coastal views, complemented by built-in storage. BEDROOM FOUR to the rear, offers flexibility as a guest room, study, or home office.

From the landing, a staircase leads to the useful and versatile LOFT ROOMS with exposed beams. The space is currently arranged as an occasional bedroom, gym, study, and storage.

Grove Farmhouse is approached via a paved COURTYARD, between the main house and the outbuildings, where there is ample parking.

The UTILITY ROOM is well-equipped with plentiful storage, a Beko™ freezer, a slot-in Siemens™ washing machine, plus a sink and W.C.

Adjacent, is an L-shaped WORKSHOP with generous workspace and loft storage. The generous GARAGE has double doors and overhead storage.

Location
Situated just outside of the town of Osmington and a walk to the Jurassic Coast at Osmington Mills, both are considered among the most popular villages in the area, and understandably so with its mainly period stone-built cottages, ancient village church, close proximity to the sea (Jurassic coast) and countryside walks. Osmington has a public house, vibrant village hall, farm shop and bus route to nearby coastal resort of Weymouth with its forthcoming Olympic sailing events.
