Hunger Hill, East Stour

Set within approximately 0.57 acres of mature south-facing gardens, Primrose Farm is an attractive detached stone farmhouse that effortlessly combines centuries of character with the comforts of modern living. Believed to date back to the early 18th century, the property has been thoughtfully enhanced over the years to create a spacious and adaptable family home, all while enjoying magnificent views across the Blackmore Vale and being just 2 miles from Gillingham's shops, Waitrose and mainline station.


The centrepiece of the home is the impressive family kitchen, a light-filled extension completed in 2003/04 and beautifully redesigned in 2025. Overlooking the gardens and surrounding countryside, it provides an exceptional everyday living space where family and friends can gather.


The original farmhouse offers an abundance of charm, with two welcoming sitting rooms featuring substantial stone fireplaces. One is fitted with a wood-burning stove for cosy evenings, while the other retains an open fire, creating a wonderful sense of warmth and character. A separate dining room is perfect for entertaining, and a study positioned alongside the ground floor shower room could equally serve as an additional bedroom. A further split-level reception room, currently used as an office and benefiting from its own French doors to the outside, offers excellent flexibility.


Upstairs, the accommodation is arranged via two staircases, adding to the property's individual appeal. Three spacious double bedrooms each enjoy the luxury of their own recently refitted ensuite shower room, while the triple-aspect bedroom takes full advantage of the outstanding countryside outlook.
The current owners have invested considerably in the property, with recent improvements including a high-quality kitchen installation, stylish new bath and shower rooms throughout, replacement external doors, new luxury vinyl flooring in selected areas and a new roof to the rear extension.


Beyond the house, double gates open onto a generous driveway offering ample parking and turning space
The gardens are an outstanding feature, enjoying a sunny southerly aspect and carefully planted with mature trees, established hedging, colourful borders and a charming dew pond. A beautifully finished shepherd's hut, complete with a fitted bar and comfortable seating, creates a unique entertaining space and a wonderful place to unwind while admiring the panoramic views stretching across the Blackmore Vale towards the distant hills.


East Stour is a village with a strong community spirit, offering two pubs, a farm shop, café and restaurant. Surrounded by the rolling Dorset countryside it provides an idyllic rural setting without compromising on convenience. Gillingham, just a short drive away, offers an excellent range of everyday amenities, including Waitrose and a mainline railway station with direct services to London Waterloo. The nearby A30 and A303 ensure excellent road connections.
