A PICTURESQUE FARMHOUSE PROJECT WITH A LOVELY GARDEN, OUTBUILDINGS AND POTENTIAL ANNEXE

A rare and exciting project, King’s Corner Farm is a listed Victorian house in a lovely village setting with a generous garden and useful outbuildings that have planning consent to form an annexe. The pleasing red brick elevations and natural slate roof are typically Victorian and with an existing floor area of around 2,000 sq ft, plus another 600 sq ft in the outbuildings, there is enormous potential to create a comfortable home with or without some income potential. The current layout features a large living room with an open fireplace, a walk-in larder (or study), a traditional parlour with solid fuel Aga off which there is a galley style kitchen. The former dairy, currently a utility/boot room with a WC completes the ground floor and upstairs there are four bedrooms and two bathrooms with two staircases. Planning permission allows for the outbuildings to be converted to an open plan living space with two further bedrooms and a bathroom, ideal as extra accommodation, a holiday let to generate income or simply a useful set of office, workshop or storage buildings. King’s Corner Farm represents a marvellous opportunity to restore a charming Victorian farmhouse to its original glory, and create a comfortable family home with the benefit of extra accommodation or business potential.

In a total plot of about 1/3 of an acre, the house itself backs on to the boundary and has a generous garden to the front and one side mainly laid to lawn with some lovely specimen trees and shrubs, including a well managed Walnut and rare Blue Fir. The front of the house faces south and looks across the garden into the old farmyard with a corrugated iron clad garage on one side and a range of brick buildings on the other side (which benefit from planning permission for conversion). Coming into the farmyard from the lane there is plenty of parking in front of the buildings and a path through a gate in the wrought iron railings takes you to the front of the house. Turning in from the lane the neighbouring property, King’s Corner Barn, has access across the far end of the yard and to its garages which are the second half of the brick outbuilding.

King’s Corner Farm is nicely situated in the heart of West Morden, a quiet village surrounded by pretty countryside and woodlands on the edge of Charborough Park. The village has a hall with sports facilities and a couple of pubs, The Cock & Bottle in the village and The World’s End nearby, and there are local shops, post offices and Doctors surgeries etc. nearby in Bere Regis and Lytchett Matravers. More extensive services and amenities are a short drive away in Blandford, Poole and Wareham which is also the nearest station (London Waterloo about 2hrs). A convenient location between the A31 and A35 means commuting to the business centres of Dorchester, Poole, Bournemouth and Ferndown is very straightforward and a quick link to the M27 takes you further afield to Southampton and Portsmouth and on up to London via the M3. The lovely surrounding countryside provides lots of opportunity for sport and recreation with fine walking, riding, cycling in the Wareham Forest and along Dorsets renowned Jurassic coastline, and for sailing and water sports it is only a short drive to Poole harbour and Studland Bay. There are local primary and secondary schools in Lytchett Minster, Poole and Parkstone retain their grammar schools, and popular independent schools nearby include Canford, Bryanston, Milton Abbey, plus Dumpton, Castle Court, Yarrells and Hanford prep schools.
