Location
Storridge Farmhouse occupies an elevated location overlooking
fine countryside just over a mile east of Beaminster.
Beaminster is a delightful small town renowned for its attractive market square, with a good range of local shops, restaurants and hotels.
The town is surrounded by some of the finest countryside in
the County, including the well known view points of Pilsdon
Pen, Golden Cap and Eggardon Hill Fort, with the area being
designated as one of outstanding natural beauty. The coastline, which has been declared a World Heritage Site known as the Jurassic Coast, is approximately 15 minutes by car.
The market town of Bridport, which has a good variety of shopping, educational and recreational facilities, a vibrant street market and the popular Electric Palace and Arts centre, is about 6 miles away.
Other local towns of note are the County town of Dorchester, and Yeovil and Crewkerne where there is a mainline rail connection to London Waterloo. The A303, which provides a route to London/Home Counties, can be joined to the north of Yeovil.
Sporting facilities in the area include golf courses at West
Bay, Dorchester and Lyme Regis, horse racing at Wincanton and water sports on the Dorset coast. The area is also served by independent schools at Perrot Hill and Sherborne.
Description
Storridge farmhouse is a prominent, attractive stone farmhouse with characterful accommodation arranged over two floors. The property was built in the 17th century and is listed Grade II as being of architectural interest. The house has immense appeal, with period features including original stone mullion windows, exposed ceiling timbers, a fine inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove and other fireplaces around the house. In the house there are some charming rooms including an elegant drawing room with a stone fireplace, a sitting room with flagstone floor and a large kitchen and breakfast room with aga. On the eastern flank of the house is a pretty attached barn with potential for conversion to ancillary accommodation having previously had consent for such use but now lapsed. The house is unspoilt by inappropriate modernisation and retains its integrity.
Outside
The gardens at Storridge Farmhouse surround the house. To the front a lawn is enclosed by a hedge from where there is access to the front door. To the east of the house is a yard with ample parking and access to one end of a fine stone barn providing covered parking. The other end of the barn is used for storage, but would, subject to consent, potentially provide ancillary accommodation. To the north is the old farmyard, now a walled and cobbled garden, with a single storey range of outbuildings and a pretty stone wall with gateway opening on to the paddock, which falls gently away from the garden and overlooks the glorious valley below. On the western boundary is a large kitchen garden.
Square Footage: 3355 sq ft
Acreage: 1.92 Acres
