Description

Nestled on the edge of Henstridge Industrial Estate and embraced by its own expansive 20-acre curtilage, this farmhouse presents a rare canvas of possibilities. The surroundings combine the practicality of easy access and the serenity of generous, open land, offering a secluded retreat with the potential to evolve into a thriving hub for private living, commercial use, or a blend of both.

Inside, the house unfolds with a classic farmhouse charm and a generous footprint that invites flexible configuration. Light travels through well-proportioned rooms, creating inviting living areas that can be tailored to suit contemporary living, creative spaces, or quiet retreats. The layout offers room to reimagine flow and function, whether expanding living zones for family life, establishing a home office suite, or crafting intimate spaces for relaxation and hobbies.

Outside, the property reveals a remarkable spread of outbuildings and grounds that enhance its versatility. Practical equestrian or storage ambitions can be met with multiple stables, substantial garages, and a double-sized workshop, all positioned to maximise workflow and accessibility. A two-bedroom holiday cottage sits within the estate, presenting an instant opportunity for guests, staff accommodation, or a separate income stream, while the broad landscape offers scope for paddocks, riding arenas, or agricultural development.

The setting combines convenience with privacy. Proximity to the Henstridge Industrial Estate means practical amenities and employment opportunities are close at hand, yet the property sits back within its own grounds to provide a sense of retreat and independence. This balance makes the estate well suited to a diverse range of visions-from a refined family home with chestnut-stable aspirations to a functional business base with workshop and storage capabilities, or a hybrid arrangement that leverages both residential comfort and commercial practicality.

**A little about Henstridge **

The village has a primary school, with a range of nearby state and independent secondary schools in Sherborne and Wincanton.
