  • Bespoke recently fitted kitchen
  • Garden room opening onto delightful mature gardens

Old Home Farm provides a wonderfully unique home with many versatile spaces and rooms opening out onto the well established private south facing garden. It is a home which combines a mix of modern luxuries with original features which have resulted in a fabulous house which has been beautifully presented.

A stone entrance porch with impressive lead-paned windows, exposed beams and stone flooring, leads into the house through a striking period front door. From here, a small entrance hall leads into the dining room, a spectacular room at the heart of the house with flagstone floors and windows with dual aspect views of the gardens. A focal point of the dining room is a recently fitted wood burner with steel flue, perfect for those winter evenings.

From the dining room, a door leads into the sitting room with wooden floors and an original Inglenook fireplace and further wood burner, a wonderful feature of this delightful snug room. The garden room, with its exposed wall, provides a wonderfully light and spacious space connecting the period house to its beautiful surroundings, with access onto the garden and view of the giant walnut tree.

Leading from the centre of the house you are welcomed into a large open-plan kitchen. This is an exceptional space and the real hub of the house. A recently fitted bespoke kitchen with dresser, cream shaker units and quartz worktops, are complemented by the large Belfast sink with Quooker tap (providing boiling, sparkling and filtered water) which sits beneath a picture window with glorious views out towards the south facing garden, a perfect space for summer entertaining. Wooden floors and original Ingelnook fireplace with space for an AGA/range cooker framed by an exposed Bressummer beam, along with LED smart lighting, an integrated full sized NEFF fridge/freezer and dishwasher complete this fantastic working kitchen space. At the other end of the kitchen is a Charnwood wood burner. This space is currently used as a sitting area, although it could comfortably accommodate a table for kitchen dining if required. Additional to the kitchen, is a utility room providing plumbing and space for all modern appliances with the benefit of an adjoining bathroom.

The staircase with wood panelling leads upstairs to four good sized double bedrooms and family bathroom. At the far end is the impressive main bedroom with wooden floorboards, exposed stone wall and vaulted ceiling with exposed beams. There is an extensive existing wardrobe which has the potential to be converted into an ensuite shower room. The remaining three double bedrooms, one with Victorian feature fireplace, are similar in size, with large windows and charming window seats overlooking the gardens. The large family bathroom floods with light and has a separate bathtub, shower, basin, WC and heated towel rail along with storage and windows with views onto the garden. There is a large loft space, partially boarded out with electrical point.

The property is approached from Compton Street onto a gravelled parking area for several cars. To the side of the property there is gated access to the main garden, log store, oil tank and two water tanks. In front of the parking area there is a smaller garden area with pretty aspect and apple and pear trees. A key feature of this house are the gardens which have been well looked after ensuring the house and garden complement one another. There are gravel pathways, a pond, feature wooden arch and various flower beds that include roses and hydrangeas. The two wooden sheds, greenhouse, vegetable patch and magnificent walnut tree complete the picture. Twelve solar roof panels generate an approximate annual income of £1600.

This picturesque Somerset village lies between the two hills of Dundon Beacon and Lollover and is overlooked by the Polden Hills.

The older parts of the village are built in the local Blue Lias stone. Compton, Dundon and Littleton share a range of community facilities including the church and cricket pitch in Dundon and post office, village hall and the Castlebrook pub in Compton.

Property information from this agent

Places of interest

    The beautiful town of Sherborne is centred around the Abbey, founded in 705 and renowned for its spectacular fan vaulting, and which sets the tone for the whole town which is widely known across Dorset, Somerset and the southwest for its beauty. Our office occupies a Tudor building adjacent to Sherborne Abbey in the heart of the town, and the large shop window is highly visible to both pedestrian and vehicular passing trade. It fits neatly into our regional network of Shaftesbury, Dorchester, Taunton and Exeter. Liaising with these offices, we sell all types of property throughout West Dorset, South Somerset and East Devon, including townhouses, cottages, village properties, rectories, manor houses and small farms. This area is particularly noted for its schools, beautiful coast and countryside and is much more accessible than many think, being a little over two hours from London by both road and rail. Our office personnel are carefully selected for their interpersonal skills to make the buying and selling process easier and less stressful. They all have great experience and have been with Jackson-Stops for many years, providing continuity, and know and love Sherborne and its surroundings intimately. With 44 offices throughout the country (8 in London) as well as a New Homes department in the South West and an International Office, Jackson-Stops are able to look after all of your residential property needs.
