Middlemarsh, DT9

NO FURTHER CHAIN. ‘Bridles Farm’ is a substantial (5414 square feet plus barns and outbuildings), natural stone, period, double-fronted, Grade II listed farmhouse standing in stunning level gardens and plot extending to 6.5 acres. The property comes with two semi-detached two double bedroom cottages, currently used as lucrative holiday let investments. The house is in a favourable semi-rural setting but with access to the A352 road linking historic Sherborne town with the trendy, popular market town of Dorchester. Both are within a short driving distance. The property boasts fabulous views at the front and rear as well as a south-facing rear garden that enjoys good levels of privacy. The property boasts a sweeping private driveway approach leading to a large farmyard, providing extensive off-road parking and space for caravans, horseboxes, trailers, boats and more. There is a detached garage plus various open barns / carport. The house is well presented, retaining many character features including exposed heavy beams and rafters, Inglenook fireplace with cast iron log burning stove and stone mullion windows. The property is equipped for a carbon-neutral future with a biomass radiator central heating system and linked under floor heating, 16 solar panels and solar hot water with an unvented, pressurised hot water system. There is some double glazing. The deceptively spacious, well-arranged accommodation is sociable and flexible, comprising large entrance reception hall, sitting room, dining reception room, large farmhouse kitchen / breakfast room, garden room, boot room / rear lobby, snug, office and ground floor WC / cloakroom. On the first floor there is a large split level landing area, master bedroom with en-suite shower room, three further generous bedrooms and a family bathroom. The holiday cottages both consist of two double bedrooms – both with en-suite shower rooms and kitchen / living room areas. There are fantastic countryside walks near the front door.
