This former farmhouse has been thoughtfully renovated to provide versatile, light-filled accommodation across two floors, ideal for family life. The ground floor centres on a generous open-plan kitchen, dining and living space with log burners and French doors opening to the rear garden. A principal bedroom benefits from a dressing room and en-suite; two further ground-floor bedrooms complete the main living level.
The lower-ground level can function as self-contained accommodation or be integrated with the main house. It includes a sitting room with an inglenook fireplace, a large bedroom and a Jack-and-Jill shower room — useful for multi-generational families or guests. A detached two-room studio at the rear offers home-office or creative space with separate external access.
Outside, the property sits on a very large, landscaped wrap-around plot with mature trees, well-established beds, a patio and extensive lawn. Gravel parking provides off-street parking. The house sits in a conservation area in the peaceful village of Sandford Orcas, a little over three miles from Sherborne and its schools and amenities.
Important practical points: heating is oil-fired with boiler and radiators; broadband speeds are very slow and mobile reception is better outside than indoors. The property falls in Council Tax Band G and lies within a conservation area, which may restrict external alterations.
