Rectory Farm
RECTORY FARM
Fine & Country are delighted to present Rectory Farm, an exceptional property set in approximately 20 acres, perfect for equestrian enthusiasts or those seeking a serene countryside retreat.
KEY FEATURES
This property, dating back to the early 19th century, is a Grade II listed former farmhouse constructed from local stone and featuring a charming thatched roof. Conveniently located just under 3 miles from the stunning beaches and iconic landmarks of Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove, Rectory Farm offers a blend of historic charm and modern convenience.
Equestrian facilities at Rectory Farm are extensive and well-planned, featuring a modern American barn with five internal loose boxes, two double loose boxes, two feed stores, and seven outward-facing loose boxes. There is a spacious parking area suitable for horse lorries, ensuring ease of transport and convenience. The property also includes an allweather menage surfaced with Equitrack, complete with recently renewed subsurface drainage, providing an excellent training ground for horses in all seasons.
The equestrian yard and land, previously operated as a commercial livery yard, offer income potential. The grazing land extends around the property and is divided into six paddocks, perfectly catering to the needs of multiple horses.
The farmhouse itself is equally impressive. The main reception room in the converted barn features glazed doors that open to breathtaking views of the countryside and the River Win. The upper portion of the barn hosts the principal bedroom with an en-suite, connected to a dressing room/study via a suspended landing.
The farmhouse’s double reception room, with a central timber staircase, oak flooring, beams, and an inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove, offers a warm and inviting family space. The adjacent kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a central island, granite work surfaces, and a Rangemaster gas and electric range cooker, alongside views over the gravelled yard and countryside. The garden room, currently serving as a dining room, also provides stunning views of the surrounding landscape.
The first floor comprises three en-suite double bedrooms with lovely oak flooring and exposed roof and ceiling timbers, two with bathrooms and the third with a shower room.
Approached via a quiet country lane and a driveway that crosses the River Win, Rectory Farm offers ample parking in a large gravelled yard. Additional features include a long thatched cattle byre with a garden store, a vegetable garden, and a sheltered paved terrace accessible from the living room and garden room.
Situated just outside the village of Winfrith Newburgh, within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the Dorset Jurassic Coast, Rectory Farm is well-positioned for both tranquility and convenience. The village provides a parish church, hall, preschool, primary school, village shop, post office, and pub, with medical and dental services available in nearby Wool. Additional shopping and amenities are available in Wareham and Dorchester. Transport links are excellent, with easy access to the A352, a direct rail service from Wool to Waterloo (2.5 hours), and proximity to Bournemouth and Southampton airports. Dorset also offers a variety of excellent schools, both state and independent.
