Summary - Stoke Wake, Blandford Forum, Dorset DT11 0HF
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Substantial farmhouse with annexe, stables and panoramic Dorset views.
Five-bedroom Grade II listed period farmhouse with strong original features
A rare Dorset farmhouse with five bedrooms, a detached two‑bedroom cottage/annexe and extensive outbuildings, set in about 8.5 acres with panoramic views to Bulbarrow Hill. The principal house retains strong period character – exposed beams, inglenook and stone fireplaces, leaded windows and a large farmhouse kitchen that opens to the grounds. The annexe is a high‑quality conversion with underfloor heating, offering genuine multi‑generational use or holiday‑let potential.
The plot includes stables, a tack room and a double garage, plus a sweeping drive and formal lawn. The property has clear scope for equestrian use or small rural enterprise; up to six additional acres and a barn are available separately, increasing latitude for grazing or development (subject to consents).
Important practical points: the house is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and can complicate maintenance. Heating is oil‑fired with a shared septic tank; broadband speeds are very slow. Council tax is described as quite expensive. These are material considerations for modern living and running any business from the site.
Overall this is a substantial, characterful rural estate for buyers seeking privacy, space and flexible accommodation — families wanting separate living, buyers needing annexe income, or equestrian purchasers. Those requiring fast connectivity, large‑scale remodelling freedom, or a low‑maintenance modern dwelling should note the listed status and service limitations before viewing.
