Description

Nestled within the serene Cerne Valley, this smallholding offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Spread over 3.26 acres, it features a variety of outbuildings and substantial grounds, set against the backdrop of protected National Trust countryside. The property includes a detached stone-built home that has seen some enhancements but still presents potential for further development and personalization. The main residence showcases an open-plan kitchen, dining, and family area that invites creative remodelling to suit modern living preferences. With expansive views visible from multiple rooms, including the sitting room which boasts a fireplace and wood-burning stove, enhancements could enhance both aesthetics and energy efficiency. The principal bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom which has been recently updated; however, additional cosmetic updates in other areas could significantly increase value. "Daisy Cottage," currently utilized as a games barn/studio space with amenities like power and water supply, stands ready for conversion into additional living space or rental potential (subject to planning permission). The collection of stables and outbuildings provides ample scope for various agricultural or recreational uses, making it ideal for equestrian enthusiasts or hobby farmers. The external areas feature well-established gardens with raised beds suitable for cultivation, alongside paddocks perfect for grazing animals. This is complemented by breathtaking views from several vantage points on the property. Situated less than a mile from the picturesque village of Cerne Abbas, residents can enjoy local amenities while being surrounded by outstanding natural beauty. This property presents an attractive opportunity to develop a tranquil retreat or working smallholding in a desirable location.
