Most handsome farmhouse and range of outbuildings with planning consent for an additional residential unit in this glorious rural location.
Winterhayes Farm is a delightful smallholding centred around a farmhouse and a cluster of buildings situated in a glorious rural location between the sought after villages of Chetnole and Yetminster. The original farmhouse is likely to date back to the 18th century and built with attractive local stone under a double pitched slate roof. The front of the house is adorned by a magnificent Magnolia tree and to the rear are wonderful views over the farm, open country and the hills beyond.
The house was considerably enlarged in recent years and now provides spacious, well arranged accommodation over two floors many of which have access to or views over the garden. The farmhouse is not listed but has a wealth of character and charm including flagstone floors, open fireplaces and exposed timbers and some good rooms including a spacious south facing drawing room with high ceilings, good size family kitchen with AGA, two further reception rooms and study and eight bedrooms on the first floor.
Outside
The farmhouse is approached from the lane via a track leading into a private drive that forks off to the farm and stables or sweeps round to the farmhouse where there is access to ample parking. Adjacent to the house is a large traditional threshing style barn with adjoining garage, beyond that is a small paddock. To the south east of the farmhouse is the main farmyard comprising a large modern steel framed barn with yard and traditional stable block with four stables, tack room and feed store. Also in this area is a hard tennis court and the Old Granary, now with consent for change of use to a residential dwelling (Application No: WD/D/18/002431). The main formal gardens are located on the south west of the house and have been thoughtfully designed and landscaped to provide interest and colour throughout the year with open pasture land and the dramatic hills beyond providing a stunning back drop. The bulk of the land, which is permanent pasture fans out to the west of the farmhouse and farm buildings and extends to about 29 acres in total.

I particularly like the old barn which is wonderfully unspoilt
