Description
Woodlands House is a seven-bedroom country estate set in a Dorset hamlet, comprising a principal residence with formal gardens, relaxed entertaining lawns, a millstream frontage, a kitchen garden, and a productive orchard. The house has a mixture of Georgian and later additions, with evidence of its history, including local stories of the Ethiopian Emperor Haile Salassie's refuge during the war years. The interior features spacious reception rooms, including a drawing room with a statement fireplace, a dining room, and a snug with a log burner.
The kitchen is bright and light, with views of the garden and river. There are extensive domestic offices and three separate cottages, including Grooms Cottage and Appleloft Cottage, which are barn conversions with self-contained living. There is also Dormer Cottage, a charming three-bedroom cottage with a sitting room and kitchen/dining room.
The estate also includes a double garage, a workshop, and a large barn with potential for conversion into residential or commercial space.
