Former Georgian Rectory in the Dorset Countryside

Former Georgian Rectory in the Dorset Countryside

Francis York

The Grade II listed property was built in 1780, with the addition of its Georgian facade in the 1800s. 

The 4 acre property is accessed through a gated entry and down a tree-lined drive, and includes an apple orchard and a productive kitchen garden, as well as a paddock, lush with wildflowers in the summer months. There is a lovely terrace in the garden, and a pizza oven. 

The current owners have extensively modernized the 7-bedroom, 3-bathroom residence, while complimenting much of its period details, including original fireplaces, sash windows with shutters, and flagstone floors. 

The home is inviting and functional, with a large kitchen and family room as the heart of the home and lovely reception rooms. A spacious boot room provides ample storage for coats and muddy wellies after a long walk in the countryside. 

The property includes a former coach house and stables, with planning permission for a 2-bedroom cottage. 

Located in Dorset, near the village of Glanvilles Wootton between the towns of Sherborne and Dorchester.
