Yondover Farmhouse is approached off a quiet village lane via a gravel driveway with a generous parking area offset to one side behind the house. Beside it and extending out immediately behind the house is the part-walled and sheltered rear garden with a central lawn fringed by a richly planted mixed border. Running the full width of the garden and parking area is a 136ft long, single storey barn with a Roman tiled roof that has been converted and now encompasses an indoor heated swimming pool with south-facing conservatory, large carport, store, work shop and adjacent self-contained accommodation. The latter has an excellent living/multifunctional space with a vaulted ceiling and wood-burning stove, small kitchenette and adjacent shower room plus a gallery double bedroom. Behind the barn is the paddock, which has vehicular access onto the lane and slopes gently down to the river, where the riverbank is lined with mature trees including silver birches and two mature weeping willows. At the top of the paddock is the kitchen garden which contains raised beds, a garden store and greenhouse. On the far riverbank and perfectly complementing the house's setting is 1.11 acres of attractive, protected meadowland (see below).
Agent's Note: The meadow (1.11 acres) on the far bank of the river is jointly owned under separate title by Yondover Farmhouse and four additional neighbouring properties. The land was purchased in 2021 to preserve its open unspoiled nature and covenants have been created to entrench this and prevent any future development.

Yondover Farmhouse has a lovely position on the edge of hamlet next to the small, pretty village of Loders and is in a Conservation Area and the Dorset AONB. Both have retained their rural character, are very quiet and have a strong community spirit with a parish church, village hall, pub and primary school (Ofsted rated 2 Good). The property is also less than 15 minutes' drive from the harbour and beaches at West Bay on the Jurassic coast. The town of Bridport is conveniently close and has a wide range of independent shops and a Waitrose, as well as a twice-weekly market, monthly farmers' market and thriving literary and arts community hosting the Bridport Literary Festival. Other nearby towns include Beaminster, Lyme Regis and Dorchester.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on February 6, 2023
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
