Introduction
Hazelgrove is one of the most prominent modern farmhouses in the area and presents an exciting opportunity to acquire a substantial detached property with a manageable acreage of land in a desirable and accessible rural position.

The Farmhouse
A well-constructed and substantial detached farmhouse built for the vendors grandparents in 1983. The dwelling is constructed of stone elevations under a tiled roof with metal casement double glazed windows and uPVC soffits and barge boards.

From the porch a grand entrance hall with parquet flooring and oak balustrade leads to the full house width 30ft triple aspect living room with a stone surround open fireplace and patio doors to the rear garden. Bi-fold doors open to the dining room. The kitchen enjoys an Aga, double oven, plentiful cupboard space and a wonderful outlook over the land. Beyond the utility is a covered area connecting the separate games/snooker room.

Upstairs, off the large landing are 4 well-proportioned double bedrooms all with built in cupboards, a single bedroom, a large bathroom with a corner bath and a second bathroom.

Surrounds
Double gates open to a large tarmac entrance area with a central island and plentiful parking. To the rear is a full length raised patio. On two sides are extensive lawned gardens with a small stone garden shed and post and rail fencing to the field.

The Land
A productive block of level pastureland of loam over Corallian limestone soil surrounded by mature hedgerows and stock-proof fencing. There is a road gate and plenty of space and scope to erect a farm building or stabling near here, subject to consent. Adding to the amenity and conservation appeal is a well-established pond surrounded by flora and small stream running along the eastern boundary. The property extends in total to 11.84 acres (4.79 hectares).

Located off a country lane in the wonderfully unspoilt rural Blackmore Vale, Hazelgrove lies just north of the popular village of Hazelbury Bryan which boasts a village shop, primary school, church and The Antelope public house. The house enjoys a breath-taking south-easterly view over its own land towards Okeford and Bulbarrow Hills. The former market town of Sturminster Newton is nearby offering a range of shops, a small supermarket, secondary school and a leisure centre. The historic Abbey town of Sherborne and Georgian town of Blandford Forum are slightly further afield with a larger range of facilities.
The area is renowned for its private schools including Bryanston, Clayesmore, the Sherborne Schools, Leweston and Port Regis all nearby.
