This exceptional country residence, nestled within 15.55 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens and grounds, seamlessly blends period charm with architectural excellence. The property, which dates back to 1922, has undergone an extraordinary transformation, featuring a masterfully executed extension and a sympathetically integrated annex. The exterior boasts classical charm, with painted render elevations, timber-framed windows, and a traditional clay-tiled roof. Internally, the accommodation is of generous proportions, with lofty ceilings, refined interior palettes, and a seamless interplay between formal and informal spaces. The property features a central entrance hall, principal reception spaces, a study, utility room, and an annex with two bedrooms and a kitchen/living area. The first floor boasts four bedrooms, including two with en-suite bathrooms, and a family bathroom. The property also includes a substantial two-storey stone-built barn with potential for conversion, a kitchen garden, and a gravelled courtyard. The residence is situated in the peaceful rural hamlet of Bishops Down, between the historic Abbey town of Sherborne and the county town of Dorchester, with both towns within comfortable motoring distance.
