Set on the edge of the Blackmore Vale, White House Farmhouse offers a rare combination of period charm and extensive pasture. The Grade II listed, early-19th-century farmhouse provides spacious accommodation across two storeys and sits within an excellent block of gently sloping productive pasture extending to about 23.51 acres (Lot 1). From the higher ground there are far-reaching panoramic views across Dorset countryside, giving strong amenity value and a peaceful rural aspect.
This is a renovation project with substantial upside for someone able to manage listed-building constraints. The house needs modernization throughout: dated drainage, an EPC rating of G, and general refurbishment are all noted. Services include mains water and electricity, private drainage and LPG heating; buyers should note a historic water charge concession which is understood to end in around ten years and that drainage upgrades will be at the purchaser’s cost.
The wider holding includes farm buildings and cottages clustered around the yard, offering potential for alternative uses subject to planning and listed-building consents. The land is mainly productive pasture, bounded by mature hedges and with a small copse; it is within a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone and has no Basic Payment Scheme entitlements included. Access is direct from the public highway, with public footpaths crossing parts of the holding.
This property will suit buyers seeking a substantial rural holding or a family home with scope to create a long-term country residence. Practical considerations—listed status, slow broadband, LPG heating, the need for drainage and renovation works, and potentially high council tax—mean it’s best suited to purchasers prepared for an involved refurbishment and the realities of running a small farm or estate.
