4 bed detached house to rent

Heneford Mill, Chetnole, Sherborne DT9

Property Reference: 2627923.

A 17th century mill house with pool and garden provides superb accommodation for a family of up to 5 people in an idyllic rural spot in the stunning Dorset National Landscape. The property is within the ancient parish of Mulberry Bubb and just a mile from the village of Chetnole, with its country pub and historic church, and is set within miles of tranquil fields and country walks. The characterful market town of Sherborne is 8 miles away with an array of independent pubs, shops, restaurants and historic sites. The house is within easy reach of several good state and private schools.

On entering the house, you will be greeted by a welcoming hallway/sitting room with a wood burner set in a characterful inglenook and original flagstone floor dating back to the time when the property was a working mill and the hall was the family's main gathering area. This leads to the living room with old ceiling beams and an impressive open fireplace with the original millstone as the hearth. A dining area, library and TV makes the room perfect for both celebratory meals and chilled out evenings. At the heart of the house, the generous and light eat-in kitchen features a large central dining table, plenty of windows and French doors opening to the garden, lots of storage cupboards, and plenty of kitchen equipment. An adjacent laundery and coats room has a washer/dryer and space for hanging clothes. Heading upstairs you will find four bright bedrooms with great country views: A very large super king-size master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, and three charming double bedrooms. A large and bright shared bathroom with shower cublicle and seperate bath is also on the first floor.

Stepping outside, the property has a large garden with views onto extensive grounds. A patio area with flower beds surrounds the house. It is ideal for settling back and enjoying a BBQ on a sunny afternoon or tending to the garden or the vegetable patch if you fancy that. A path leads over to a large outdoor swimming pool. The delightful River Wriggle runns at the edge of the garden. Care is needed with small children around pool and river. The fields and paddocks that the house overlooks are part of a working farm so expect people tending to animals (sheep, horses and Guinea fowl) every now and again. There is ample private parking to the front of the house. A horse barn and paddocks are part of the farm and could accomodate your horses if you have any.

Although the house is fully detached, a barn extension is connected to the house but is not part of the let. It has been retained by the owners for their own use as part of managing the farm. Tenants will need to cover house and garden bills on a pro rata basis. Pool heating and maintenance can be excluded if not required.
