5 bedroom house

A south facing mellow stone former farmhouse with flexible accommodation, fine views and 0.5 acre garden.

Primrose Farm is a detached character stone house having origins in the early 18th century with later additions. The current owners added the superb kitchen in 2003/4 and this is a fantastic family room with views over the garden and countryside. The views from the house and garden are a real feature of this property - out over the Blackmore Vale to the rising hills beyond.

Internally the two original reception rooms both have large stone fireplaces, one with a wood burning stove and the other an open fire. To the back of the house on the ground floor is the dining room and a study or fourth bedroom with adjoining shower room. Steps to the side lead up to playroom or ground floor bedroom with French doors to outside giving a potential separate annexe entrance if required.

A second staircase leads up to a double bedroom with triple aspect and en-suite shower room. From the sitting room the main stairs lead to the first floor where there are two further double bedrooms both en-suite.

Outside there is a wonderful garden to the front of the house with dew pond and several mature trees and fantastic views to the west. To the east of the house is the drive with ample parking for a number of cars and a detached workshop, garage and car port.

The property is approached from the road via double gates on to a large drive where there is ample parking and turning for a number of cars as well as boats, caravans or trailers. There is a detached timber garage, workshop and car port on a brick plinth with a pitched slate roof.

The garden is predominantly to the front of the house and faces south with some lovely trees, dew pond, flower and shrub borders, mature hedges and wonderful far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside. In all about 0.57 acres.

East Stour has two pubs, a farm shop, coffee shop and restaurant and active community. The area is surrounded by the beautiful, gently rolling countryside of the Blackmore Vale. The North Dorset town of Gillingham is about 2 miles away and has a full range of everyday shops and services including Waitrose and mainline railway to London Waterloo.
