A charming Grade II listed farmhouse and converted barn set in just under 20 acres with equestrian facilities close to the Jurassic Coast
Description
Azrea is Grade II listed and understood to date from the early part of the 19th Century. It is built of local stone under a thatch roof. The property was renovated about 20 years ago, creating a substantial home formed from the former farmhouse and an attached converted barn. The house has delightful features throughout including exposed beams and oak floorboards. The barn has been converted to provide an impressive single reception room on the ground floor with a full-height window and glazed doors providing a light-filled living
space. A staircase gives access to a first-floor study area with a floating landing leading across to the principal bedroom suite.
The kitchen/breakfast room is at the heart of the home and is well-appointed with a range of units, a large central island incorporating a breakfast bar, granite worktops and a Rangemaster cooker. The adjacent garden room currently serves as a dining room and has views over the rear garden and surrounding countryside.
Beyond the kitchen, a further double reception room provides sitting and dining areas, divided by a central timber staircase. The sitting area includes an inglenook fireplace with a woodburning stove. A door opens through to access a utility room, back hall and cloakroom. The first floor of the farmhouse provides three further double bedrooms, two with en suite bathrooms and one with an en suite shower room.
Location
Azrea sits just outside the thriving village of Winfrith Newburgh within the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the World Heritage designated Jurassic Coast. The village offers local amenities including an award winning shop & post office, public house, primary school and church. There is a railway station (with direct services to London Waterloo taking approximately 2.5 hours) and further local amenities at Wool and further services in Wareham or the county town of Dorchester.
The area is of course renowned for its wonderful coastline with beautiful scenery and beaches, walking on the South Coast Path and opportunities for sailing at watersports at Weymouth and Poole.
Independent schools in the area include Sunninghill Prep in Dorchester, Canford, Bryanston, Milton Abbey and the Sherborne Schools.
Square Footage: 3,469 sq ft
Acreage: 19.7 Acres
Directions
From the junction in the centre of Wool by the level crossing, travel west along the A352 for 2 ¾ miles. Turn left just after the Red Lion Pub onto Water Lane signposted Winfrith Newbugh. Continue through the village, along the High St and then bear right onto East Chaldon Lane. Azrea will be found on the right hand side after approximately 1/3 mile.
Additional Info
Attached to the farmhouse, a thatched former cow byre provides covered storage with a stone built outbuilding towards the far end. To the far side of the converted barn is an independent, single storey office with an adjacent store, WC and shower.
The American Barn is found to the North-East of the house, across a concrete yard and encompasses five internal loose boxes, two double loose boxes, two feed stores and seven outward-facing loose boxes. Beside the barn is a good-sized parking area suitable for horse lorries. Beyond the barn is an all-weather menege with an Equitrack surface and recently renewed sub-surface drainage.
The property is approached off a quiet country lane via a driveway which passes over a bridge crossing the River Win before splitting to the house and the equestrian facilities. In front of the house, the gravel driveway has ample parking for several vehicles. Behind the house there is a sheltered west facing paved terrace which can be accessed from both the garden room and dining room. A secure garden and a kitchen garden are both located close to the house.
The balance of the land is laid to pasture, extending out on three sides of the property and divided into six paddocks with a small area of woodland to the south west boundary. The land extends to just under 19.7 acres in total.
