Set within circa 2.6 acres of waterside gardens, Millbrook Trout Farm is a spacious four-bedroom family home in the heart of Fovant. The house occupies a commanding northwest position on the plot with lovely southerly views across the grounds towards the Fovant Cap Badges and Cranborne Chase. Internally the property offers a formal sitting room and a snug/family room, a well-appointed kitchen with breakfast bar, and a useful utility/boot room linking to an outbuilding that forms part of approved annexe plans.
There is planning consent for a single-storey annexe (S/2011/0034) and for an agricultural entrance (PL/2023/05890). A part-converted, tanked basement provides significant additional space with good head height, useful for a variety of uses but currently unfinished. Parking is generous for six-plus cars and the grounds are virtually flat, established and include a pond and waterside border formed by Fovant Brook—suitable for small-holding or hobby farming interests.
Practical considerations include oil-fired central heating and double glazing (installed post-2002). Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average, reflecting the rural location. There is a medium flood risk associated with the brook and waterside setting; buyers should consider insurance and any necessary mitigations. The property is offered freehold and presents strong scope for extension or conversion to improve accommodation or create independent living space using the existing permissions.
This home will suit families or purchasers seeking a peaceful rural lifestyle with equestrian or small-holding potential, plus anyone wanting a generous plot with waterside character. It offers immediate comfortable living with clear potential to personalise and enhance, though buyers should budget for finishing the basement, future maintenance of a large plot, and possible work to address flood mitigation and modern connectivity upgrades.
