A wonderful small farm with a well appointed farmhouse offering home & income opportunities, along with extensive land and outbuildings, enjoying far reaching views within the village of Marshwood. EPC Band D.
The Property - Greenacres is a well appointed farmhouse offering home & income opportunities, with extensive land and outbuildings, enjoying far reaching views within the village of Marshwood. It is understood to date back to the 1750s and was formally a working farm. Under the current ownership since 2004, it has been subject to extensive enlargement and refurbishment to a very high standard.
The accommodation is well presented and good sized. Modern amenities include a recently fitted kitchen with an oil-fired Aga, modern bathroom/shower room with feature roll top bath, two modern ensuite shower rooms, UPVC sealed unit windows and PV panels. Modern pipe work and radiators have been installed although an oil-fired boiler needs to be fitted. Character style features include bespoke cottage pine doors, exposed beams including oak, English Elm wide floorboards, window seats, beamed fireplace with woodburner, stable doors, exposed stone and vaulted ceilings with exposed beams.
Planning permission was passed (now lapsed) for the conversion of the adjoining outbuilding for additional accommodation and subject to planning, offers potential for a holiday let or additional letting B&B accommodation.
Briefly the accommodation extends to:
Ground floor - Reception hall, cloakroom, living room, front porch, dining room, kitchen/breakfast/family room, utility.
First floor – principle bedroom with ensuite shower room, second bedroom with ensuite shower room, two further bedrooms and bathroom/shower room.
Business Opportunities - Although Greenacres would make a fine private home, appealing to someone wishing to own a hobby farm for livestock, equestrian purposes or as a smallholding, there is also excellent home and income possibilities.
•Bed & Breakfast – the owners have been operating a bed & breakfast business since 2016 with 2 letting bedrooms. Under Booking.com it is highly rated 9.9.
•CL Campsite – a touring campsite has been newly created (certificated site affiliated to the Caravan Club). Permission for 5 pitches (although there are 6 to allow rotation), 2 of which are hardstanding. There are full services with electric hook up points plus water and grey waste.
•The Wagon – a converted former fruit & veg train wagon which has been used for holiday lets since 2018. The accommodation comprises living room/kitchen/bedroom and shower room.
•Certain contents are available by separate negotiation.

As well as a good variety of local primary and secondary schooling options, Marshwood lies within the catchment of the renowned Colyton Grammar. The village is surrounded by the beautiful rolling countryside with Pilsdon Pen nearby and the surrounding countryside offering an abundance of walks and bridleways. The village is ideally placed to give access to the market towns of Beaminster, Bridport and Axminster. To the south, there is access to the stunning Jurassic Coast at the pretty harbour town of Lyme Regis. There are also excellent walking and riding opportunities easily accessible from the property.
