Description

Three bedroom cottage with patio garden and garage, overlooking landscaped gardens and woodlands. The property is located on a purpose-built retirement development for the over 55s. Management services are provided by Cognatum Estates, a not-for-profit organisation and one of the UK's leading companies in retirement housing.

With beautiful views of the church spire and towards the Blackmore Vale, Home Farm is exactly as the name suggests and houses farm buildings that have been converted into spacious properties, each with a rich sense of character. Further cottages built in the grounds complement the architectural style of the older buildings, and all have conservatories and balconies. There are several acres of mature, landscaped gardens to enjoy.

It is a short walk to the shops of Iwerne Minster. There is a post office and general store, a pub and hotel and the village shop and cafe also bakes their own bread daily. With its winding lanes, the stream that runs through the village, the old pump, the popular cricket club and the parish church, the village has a quaint charm. Located near Cranborne Chase, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it has its own river, the Iwerne, and St Mary's has been rated one of England's 1000 best churches. The lively market town of Blandford Forum is just seven miles down the road, and the seaside towns of Weymouth, Bournemouth and Poole are all within an hour's drive.

Cognatum Estates maintains, repairs and insures all the buildings, arranges the window cleaning and refuse collection and tends to the gardens and grounds thereby freeing owners and residents from these responsibilities. There is a personal alarm system in each property and the resident estate managers are available to provide support and a helping hand when needed.  The cost of providing these services is shared equally between all properties. There are no restrictions on owning a property except that one resident must be over 55 years of age.

999 year lease (from 1984). No ground rent.

Please Note: Upon resale of the property, Cognatum Estates management company charge 1% of sale price plus VAT for the leasehold pack, payable by the vendor.

Industry affiliations:

Combining the very best in retirement housing management practice with over thirty years’ experience, our dedicated management team, based in Oxfordshire, understands the needs and requirements of Cognatum property owners. Working on not-for-profit principles, we are committed to providing a management service which works in the interests of residents.

The English Courtyard Association and Beechcroft Trust developments have much in common, whilst offering some differences in style and amenities. All are in high-quality locations and set in beautifully landscaped gardens. Each has a comprehensive estate management service with on-site managers who are trained to be professional good neighbours, caring and watchful but, at the same time, discreet and respectful of your privacy.

Our long-leasehold cottages and apartments are designed to match the quality of life provided in larger family houses, but with an eye to the future when it may be advantageous that aspects of property maintenance are handled by others. These are properties for those who want a more relaxed retirement without sacrificing standards, or perhaps wish to spend more time abroad and want a secure and maintained home whilst they are away.

Cognatum property is a specialist sales agency, independently funded . We maintain an enquiry list for those wishing to buy and can put them quickly in touch with owners selling their property on any one of our sixty developments spread across twenty-one counties.

Our professional staff have years of experience in the retirement market and have built up an unrivalled knowledge.

They are able to provide a full marketing and sales service, including advice on valuations, Home Information Packs, sales particulars and regular advertising in the national press.

Cognatum Property is unlike mainstream housing. People are not simply buying bricks and mortar, but unusually spacious properties with a uniquely experienced management service tailored for retired people, something Cognatum Property is well placed to explain to purchasers.
