4 bed detached house to rent

Chetnole, Sherborne DT9

A 17th century former 4 bedroom detached mill house built of stone under a tiled roof located on the outskirts of Chetnole, Dorset.

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 laundry and coats room has a washer/dryer and space for hanging clothes.

Situation

Set in an idyllic rural spot in the stunning Dorset National Landscape. The property is within the ancient parish of Melbury 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.

Outside

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 runs 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 accommodate your horses if you have any.
