This 4-bedroom farmhouse presents a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with significant potential in a tranquil setting. Nestled within 14.33 acres of gently rolling pasture, the property boasts a variety of outbuildings and an advantageous planning status for Class Q conversion, allowing for diverse future uses.
The farmhouse itself is a two-story stone structure built in the late 1990s, featuring a south-facing orientation that fills the interior with natural light. Designed for family living, it includes spacious rooms such as a dual-aspect sitting room, dining room, and a kitchen with a dining area. Practicality is catered for with an adjoining utility room, shower room, and office space. The upper floor comprises four well-sized bedrooms, including a master suite with an en suite bathroom.
Surrounding the house is a secluded garden primarily laid to lawn, complete with vibrant flower borders and dedicated vegetable patches—ideal for those interested in horticulture or outdoor leisure activities. For equestrian enthusiasts or those needing additional storage space, there is a timber stable block housing two loose boxes and a tack room.
The range of general-purpose farm buildings offers further investment avenues; these could be repurposed subject to securing relevant planning permissions. This includes three steel-framed livestock barns currently used as machinery storage along with a garage and workshop linked to a calf barn that has recently received approval for conversion into a single-storey dwelling.
The property’s land comprises manageable enclosures bordered by established hedgerows, providing both privacy and functionality. An additional parcel of approximately 9.45 acres adjacent to the main holding can also be acquired, presenting an opportunity for expansion.
Higher Keybrook Farm is ideally situated just south of Shaftesbury and north of Sturminster Newton, surrounded by picturesque countryside yet easily accessible via major transport links such as the A303 and A350. The nearby hamlet of East Orchard offers access to local amenities while Shaftesbury unfolds vibrant shopping and services that include healthcare facilities and cultural offerings.
With its strategic location and renovation potential across both the farmhouse and associated outbuildings, this property represents an excellent investment opportunity in a highly sought-after rural area.
