Summary - Brooklands Barn, Fontmell Magna SP7 0JP
3 bed 3 bath Detached Bungalow
Equestrian-ready three-bedroom bungalow with spacious grounds and stables.
Approximately 3.5 acres including paddocks and chalk stream boundary
Set within approximately 3.5 acres and sitting beside a chalk stream, this recently renovated detached bungalow brings equestrian facilities and modern living together in a quiet hamlet near Shaftesbury. The house offers a large kitchen/diner, a separate sitting room and three double bedrooms — two with en suites — arranged on one level for practical family life or comfortable downsizing.
Outside is the property’s strongest draw: neatly tended lawns and extended patio lead to multiple paddocks, three serviced stables and a series of useful outbuildings. About 300 metres of chalk stream runs along the boundary, a rare natural feature that enhances grazing and paddock drainage while creating an attractive rural outlook. Ample off-street parking and gated driveway access suit trailers, horseboxes and several vehicles.
Practical points to note: the home uses oil-fired central heating with boiler and radiators and currently holds an EPC rating D. The property sits in an isolated rural neighbourhood with medium flood risk and above-average local crime figures; these are important for insurance and security considerations. Large grounds will demand regular maintenance and paddock management. Superfast fibre broadband is available, making remote working feasible despite the rural setting.
This property will suit equestrian buyers or families seeking a one-storey, ready-to-move-in home with strong outdoor and riding potential. It also offers opportunity for buyers wanting to adapt or enhance the outbuildings and land for specific equestrian or leisure uses, subject to the usual checks and permissions.
