Welcome to The Old Farmhouse, built from local Purbeck limestone, it has a gentle charm and a sense of history that makes it feel instantly welcoming. The Grade II Listed house sits proudly in the village, just a short walk to the sea.
This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of local heritage, a home that feels rooted in its setting, and ready for the next chapter.
Entering the HALLWAY, you step onto the flagstone floor, which flows through to the sitting room and kitchen. This generous comfortable space has room for boots and coats and from here a handy SHOWER ROOM, for everyday ease.
There are a series of inviting rooms; a very pretty SNUG with wood-burning stove and a large window overlooking the front garden; a DINING ROOM with an open fire that feels ready for long suppers and Sunday lunches; and a KITCHEN with a flagstone floor that has likely been the heart of the home for over a century. The windows let in lots of natural light and there are plenty of cupboards for storage.
There is also a UTILITY ROOM tucked away for muddy boots and laundry.
The SITTING ROOM has a red brick fireplace with a large wood burner, and French doors that spill out to the garden. It is an enchanting room, combining comfort with olde worlde charm.
Upstairs, the FIVE BEDROOMS are full of light and character. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is complete with an ENSUITE while the remaining rooms are ideal for children, guests, or flexible use as a home office or workspace. There are delightful glimpses through thick stone-framed windows across the nearby countryside. The family BATHROOM serves the bedrooms.
Outside
The Old Farmhouse sits within approximately a quarter of an acre. The Purbeck stone continues outside to a charming rear PATIO, anchoring the house to its landscape and echoing the timeless quality of the surrounding countryside. The GARDEN has mature shrubs and trees which offer seasonal colour, while open stretches of lawn provide space for lazy afternoons in the sun.
The garden has a timeless feel to it, and is a private space too, with a choice of places to sit and enjoy the surroundings.
A converted OUTBUILDING acts as a one-bedroom ANNEXE that has previously been let out on Airbnb™.
There is plenty of PARKING and A DOUBLE GARAGE and SINGLE GARAGE, with a further Single Garage available by separate negotiation too.
