THE PROPERTY
Colly Farmhouse is a rare Dorset treasure, a distinguished Grade II listed home, believed to date from around 1800, crafted in the celebrated Bothenhampton stone and crowned in part with a traditional thatched roof. Coming to the market for the first time in over seventy years, this much loved residence occupies an extraordinary position where the rolling countryside of West Dorset meets the nearby Jurassic Coast. Just two miles from Bridport and three miles from the sea, it offers a lifestyle shaped by sweeping rural vistas, coastal light, and the timeless beauty of the Marshwood Vale.

Set within more than eight acres of its own land, the farmhouse sits gracefully within its landscape, approached by a private drive and surrounded by gently folding pasture, mature trees, and the wide, open skies of west Dorset. From its elevated setting, the house enjoys uninterrupted views across the Vale towards the iconic silhouette of Colmers Hill.

The main house offers four bedrooms and a wealth of period character, with generously proportioned rooms that draw in the countryside and coastal light. Original features and natural materials lend the interiors a warmth and authenticity that speak to the home's long history, creating an atmosphere that is both welcoming and quietly grand.

THE COTTAGE
A beautifully arranged two bedroom attached cottage adds further versatility, ideal for multi generational living, elegant guest accommodation, or the creation of a charming holiday retreat, a particularly enticing prospect given the area's enduring appeal to those seeking peaceful rural stays close to the sea.

OUTSIDE
The farmhouse sits beautifully within its landscape set well back from the lane, approached via a private tree lined driveway with electric gates opening onto the spacious gravelled parking area. An outdoor swimming pool, summer house with changing facilities and tennis court sit discreetly within the gardens including a charming and productive walled kitchen garden, while the surrounding paddocks offer ample space for equestrian pursuits or simply the pleasure of open land. A triple garage with a room above provides scope for a studio, office or further ancillary accommodation, subject to necessary consents. In addition there is a wonderful traditional Showman's Wagon which could be used as a charming guest bedroom or holiday let accommodation, not forgetting the detached stone barn offering excellent storage/workshop space or games room.

LOCATION
Colly Farm sits in peaceful countryside in an area of outstanding natural beauty and yet close to the village of Dottery and it is only 5 minutes’ drive from the bustling and historic market town of Bridport.
