Description

Nestled within the scenic landscape of Cranborne Chase, this three-bedroom period property presents a compelling opportunity for renovation and investment. With its distinctive features and rural charm, this residence invites creative minds eager to restore and modernize. The interior layout offers two inviting reception rooms; the lounge showcases a remarkable inglenook fireplace complete with an original bread oven, serving as a unique focal point. Adjacent to the lounge is a cozy dining area that sets the stage for family gatherings. The ground floor also includes a kitchen, sunroom, and family bathroom, each providing ample scope for updating to suit contemporary living standards. Ascending to the upper level, you’ll find an unconventional arrangement where two bedrooms are connected by the main staircase. A second staircase leads to the principal bedroom, creating a private retreat that enhances the property's character. The various layouts present possibilities for reconfiguration or expansion depending on your vision. Located in Newtown—a small hamlet near Farnham—the property benefits from its proximity to natural attractions like Larmer Tree Gardens and numerous outdoor activities including horse riding and cycling. The local village boasts essential amenities such as a popular pub, while slightly further afield, Blandford offers more extensive services including healthcare facilities and retail options. Well-connected road links also provide easy access to larger towns like Salisbury, Bournemouth, and Poole, as well as close railway stations in Gillingham and Tisbury offering direct services to London Waterloo. The outdoor space is equally impressive with a generous garden predominantly laid to lawn and featuring established shrubs. A shed and log store enhance practicality while ample parking adds convenience for residents and guests alike. Although some portions of the garden are held on a leasehold basis with specific terms in place, this adds an interesting layer of investment potential given the area’s desirable attributes. This property stands out not only as a charming country retreat but also as an intriguing project for those with renovation aspirations looking to capitalize on its full potential in a picturesque location. With careful modernization, it could be transformed into a stunning family home or lucrative rental opportunity in an increasingly sought-after region.
