Description

This historic country residence, dating back to the 17th century, presents a unique opportunity for those looking to create a bespoke home in a stunning rural setting. The Grade II Listed property features traditional stone and brick construction beneath a pitched slate roof and is set on approximately 2.66 acres of beautiful grounds, including a paddock. Spanning over 5,300 sq ft, the accommodation comprises the main house, a two-storey granary, a substantial detached barn, and a former stable building, all of which are ripe for renovation. While the main house retains many period features that give it character and charm, it requires significant modernization to fully realize its potential. The ground floor includes spacious living areas such as a sitting room and dining room, alongside a kitchen equipped with a gas-fired Aga. The upstairs offers flexibility with six well-proportioned bedrooms and four bathrooms. The property’s extensive outdoor areas include informal gardens and open lawns that enhance its serene ambience. Furthermore, the versatile outbuildings provide additional space that could be transformed into workshops or studios pending necessary consents. Situated in East Knighton, this property balances rural tranquility with accessibility to local amenities and transport links. Nearby attractions include the breathtaking Jurassic Coast as well as numerous walking and riding routes. This is an exciting investment opportunity for anyone looking to undertake a thoughtful refurbishment while retaining the home's historical essence.
