Gerrards Farm is a handsome Victorian farmhouse set at the end of a long drive within 18.71 acres of well-fenced pasture, offering panoramic views across the Marshwood Vale to the coast and nearby hill forts. The south-facing house has generous rooms, high ceilings and character features, including original joinery, Victorian tiles and period fireplaces — a comfortable family home with scope to modernise. The triple-aspect drawing room and the handmade kitchen with Aga and wood burner create a warm, social heart to the house.
Practical outbuildings include a stable block with looseboxes and a foaling box, a substantial workshop/garage and concrete yard, making the property well suited to equestrian or small-holding use. Services include mains electricity and water, private drainage and fast fibre broadband; mobile signal is excellent. There is potential to convert a barn (subject to consents) and the land is offered in good heart for livestock or horses.
Buyers should note material facts: heating is by electric and room heaters (including dual fuel options), the stone walls are understood to be uninsulated, and drainage is private. The property has Council Tax Band G (quite expensive). If sold in separate lots, a new stock-proof fence will be shared between purchasers and two public footpaths cross the land. Overall this is a rare rural holding that blends character accommodation with practical farming and equestrian facilities, best suited to buyers seeking a sizeable country home with development potential and a need to manage running costs.
