The SITTING ROOM is a generous space with fireplace and French doors opening directly to the garden, creating an easy connection between house and its surrounds.

To the rear, the CONSERVATORY offers a relaxed space to sit and look out over the garden, bringing light into the house and adding versatility to the ground floor.
Upstairs, the PRINCIPAL BEDROOM boasts its own DRESSING ROOM and EN SUITE, with scope to create an elegant and private main suite. The remaining BEDROOMS are all comfortable doubles, each with open rural views that give the upper floor a calm, airy feel. The FAMILY BATHROOM completes the accommodation and provides generous space for updating in line with the rest of the house. The rooms throughout are well proportioned and naturally light, combining a sense of scale with the comfort of a traditional farmhouse. It is a house that can be adapted and refined to suit many ways of living, while retaining its strong architectural character.
Outside
The GARDEN is a notable feature of the property, enclosed and mature, with wide lawns edged by established trees and shrubs. A paved terrace runs along the rear of the house, providing an ideal spot for outdoor dining or quiet evenings overlooking the surrounding countryside. The DOUBLE GARAGE offers secure parking, and there is an additional SHED and WORKSHOP, with further parking on the gravel drive. The overall setting is private and peaceful, framed by the gentle landscape of the Gussage valley — a true Dorset farmhouse with substance, character, and a wonderful sense of place.
