Detached property on a no through lane on the edge of this sought after village
Description
Splendid detached property on a no through road on the edge of this most sought after village.
Lovely situation with no near neighbours and views over the surrounding farmland.
Claypits Farm, probably dating from the mid 19th century, has mainly brick and rendered elevations below a tiled roof. The house has been significantly altered and extended over the last 40 years, having been modernised in 1983 and most recently extended in 2000 and now providing over 3,300 sq ft of accommodation.
Arranged over two floors, it is ideal for a family, with a good size kitchen and breakfast room, south facing dining room with fireplace, large drawing room with fireplace and conservatory and study on the ground floor and five bedrooms on the first floor with views over open countryside. The house is approached via a council maintained no-through lane which becomes a bridleway and a private drive provides access to an area with ample parking, a single garage in brick and flint with an attic. There is a range of four wooden stables, hay shed and horse trailer shed. To the north of the drive is a brick and flint, tiled roof two room building used in the past as a studio and office. Alongside there is a further range of 3 wooden stables, adapted as workshops with power and water and WC facilities. But could easily be converted back to stabling.
Beyond that is a further paddock bordered to the north by a lovely old wood, currently with bluebells, on what were the old claypits, with an abundance of native flora and fauna.
Direct bridleway access to Coombe Woods and beyond. The property is within walking distance of the centre of the village.
Location
Claypits Farm is situated about ½ mile outside the thriving village of Winfrith Newburgh, surrounded by glorious downland forming part of the substantial Lulworth Estate and within the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Winfrith has an award-winning village shop and post office, a public house a thriving village hall, a primary school and a church; the village is just 3.5 miles from the Jurassic Coast and the world famous Lulworth Cove, a geological phenomenon and a unesco World Heritage Site.
Winfrith sits between the county town of Dorchester and Saxon Wareham, both of which offer a broad range of services.
Communications links are excellent, with a mainline station at Wool offering a direct rail service to London Waterloo (from 2 hours 20 minutes) and the A352 providing a fast link to the A35 for access to Poole, Bournemouth and further afield.
Independent schools in the area include Sunninghill Prep in Dorchester, Canford, Bryanston, Milton Abbey, the Sherborne Schools and the renowned Thomas Hardye's comprehensive school in Dorchester.
Square Footage: 3,358 sq ft
Acreage:
