Apart from ongoing maintenance little has been done to the house in the intervening period and it now needs refurbishing. The house is Grade II listed and has retained many original fittings including six-panel doors, timber and flagstone floors, fireplaces, working shutters and picture rails. The house also has a rear service wing incorporating the house's original kitchen, complete with a cooking range and
large Welsh dresser, a laundry room equipped with a double copper and bread oven plus a brewhouse and timber store. The house has four good-sized reception rooms, one of which is used as an office and another serves as the kitchen, along with a suite of very impressive cellars beneath. The first floor contains seven bedrooms and there are four further double rooms in the attics. The house sits back from the passing road behind tall, mature hedging in a garden of about an acre. The original drive has been grassed over but has retained two front entrances to allow for the easy passage of a mail coach pulled by six horses. In all about 1.07 acres
(Lot 2) Cottage, Barn & Agricultural Buildings
About 80 yards from the house is a collection of buildings comprising an L-shaped range of period, stone-built farm buildings, a former grain dryer and a timber granary with a lean-to shelter plus the footprints of other pre-existing buildings encompassing a stockyard. One side of the L-shaped range comprises a central coach house flanked on one side by a farm worker's cottage and on the other by
a store and hayloft. Attached on one side of the cottage is a large stone-built workshop. The other side of the range incorporates a double threshing barn. Adjacent to the threshing barn are a timber-built grain store, that served as Land Girl accommodation during WWII, with a lean to store and a further modern barn used for drying grain. None of the buildings in Lot 2, apart from the cottage and grain store which were originally used for domestic living, are offered for sale with the consent for development. In all about 1.13 acres
Agricultural Land (Lot 3)
Behind the house and associated buildings are about 30 acres of grazing land divided into three enclosures, known as Home Meadow, Lushes Ground and Barn Ground. All three are enclosed by stock-proof fencing and are equipped with mains-fed water troughs. In all about 32.86 acres

Situated within the Cranbourne Chase AONB, Arundell Farmhouse is midway between the villages of Donhead St. Andrew and Ludwell, surrounded by unspoilt, gently rolling countryside. The former has a church and village hall and the highly regarded Forester Inn and the latter also has an excellent village shop/post office, pub, farm shop and an award-winning butcher. Tisbury and Shaftesbury can both be reached in a few minutes by car and have extensive amenities including good local shops. Shaftesbury offers a choice of supermarkets and there is an excellent Waitrose in the neighbouring town of Gillingham. For wider requirements, Salisbury and Bath are both within a reasonable distance. There is a wide choice of schooling locally both from the independent and state sectors. Independent schools including Sandroyd, Port Regis, Clayesmore, Hanford, Bryanston and the Sherborne schools are all within a 20-mile radius. Transport links are good with a regular, fast rail service to Waterloo from Tisbury (12 minutes) and Bournemouth Airport is only about 45 minutes away.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on June 28, 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
