DESCRIPTION
Knapp Farm is a period character property believed to have been an original Dorset longhouse built predominantly of flint stone, with a rich history of period additions and improvements over the years. The old farmhouse is set in an idyllic landscape of woodland, pasture land and mature gardens and still benefits from owning the original farm outbuildings which could lend themselves to a number of uses, subject to the relevant planning consents. The house has an abundance of character features with the potential to improve, extend or create income, a unique opportunity in this very well sought after area. Character features include exposed beams, window seats and fireplaces. The accommodation comprises of a spacious drawing room, formal dining room, kitchen, sitting room/ bedroom four, study/ studio room on the ground floor, whilst on the first floor are three double bedrooms and a recently refurbished bathroom with separate bath and shower. The property would also lend itself to further extension subject to the relevant consents; this could be achieved by opening into the adjoining utility/ store on one side or the extensive workshop on the other side of the property, measurements for which are as follows: utility/ store-30' x 7' water and electric connected and the workshop/ store- 11'4 x 7'5 and 11'3 x 7'8.
THE GROUNDS
The farmhouse enjoys a splendid Southerly aspect with views over the village and surrounding countryside. The gardens lie to the South and East of the property and are well established containing some lovely specimen trees and a small orchard. To the rear of the farm is a tarmac yard with a selection of useful outbuildings including garages, store rooms and loose boxes. There are additional meadows and woodland available by separate negotiation. The main driveway into the property is currently shared with a number of neighbours but could lend itself to being fenced off and a new driveway created, subject to the relevant planning consents, to create more privacy and/or individual access to the rear land and outbuildings which are as follows: Large Barn of stone and brick construction with a new concrete floor divided into three sections currently being used as : Garage1: 16'9 x 9'6 with remote electric door; Garage 2: 16' x12' also with a remote door; a further garage at the rear with modern inspection pit with power and light measuring: 28' x 11' Store room 16'9 x 6'11.
