Charming family house with equestrian facilities within a ring fence of about 37 acres.
Manor Farm House is a charming three bedroom family home of local stone under a tile roof. Originally a farm building dating back to circa 1600s, it was later converted to a two storey dwelling in 1983.
The property is approached via a private driveway leading off Bradford Lane. The drive then forks, with the right hand fork leading to the gravel parking area at the rear of the house and useful stone double garage. The left hand fork continues to the land and the back of the stable block.
On the ground floor of the house is a spacious Entrance Hall with doors leading to the dual aspect Drawing Room with large fireplace and Sitting Room with a woodburner. The spacious Kitchen has windows overlooking the stable yard and door through to the Boot Room with built in cupboard and downstairs WC.
On the first floor are three Bedrooms, a Family Bathroom and a separate WC with wash basin.
At the front of the house are steps leading up to the enclosed lawned garden with mature trees and shrubs.
The stable block is located at the rear of the house and can either be accessed from the gravel parking area or from the drive which continues past the house. The yard is centered around an enclosed post and rail fenced concrete yard and comprises 10 timber stables, a tack room and a gated under cover tie-up area.
At the back of the stable block is a useful general purpose open fronted steel framed barn used for hay and straw storage, with an enclosed hardcore yard area.
Manor Farm totals approximately 37.47 acres of attractive gently undulating pasture within a ring fence, divided into manageable sized enclosures. The majority of the land is bordered by mature hedgerows with the fields closest to the house having post and rail fencing and containing field shelters.
The land is gently undulating and classified as predominantly Grade 4 shallow lime-rich soils over chalk or limestone. All the land is currently let to a neighbouring farmer until 1st March 2024 and has, in recent years, been grazed by cattle and cut for silage. Further details are available from the vendors agents.
The land also benefits from a second, separate access from Leweston Road which runs along the western boundary.
A bridleway runs across the land, east to west, as shown on the sale plan.
Tenure & possession
Manor Farm is offered for sale as a whole by private treaty with vacant possession of the house and buildings. The land is currently let to a neighbouring farmer until 1st March 2024.
Manor Farm is located in a highly desirable and sought after area within the heart of the Blackmore Vale, on the edge of the scenic village of Longburton and within easy reach of the market town of Sherborne.
Longburton benefits from the popular Rose & Crown freehouse pub, an award winning 14th century thatched pub.
Sherborne lies approximately 2.5 miles to the north and is well known for its beautiful Abbey and architecture. The town has a wide selection of shops to cater for all your daily needs and a selection of supermarkets, doctors’ surgeries, a hospital, restaurants and pubs. There is also a main line railway station to London or the West Country. The surrounding area and Sherborne offer a wide choice of well-regarded schools, with the independent day and boarding school of Leweston School only a stone’s throw away.
The area is well known for its stunning countryside with excellent riding and walking. The Dorset Coastline is also within easy reach.
