Redcliffe Farmhouse sits in a spectacular location, on the banks of the River Frome and enjoys impressive views towards Wareham. Amounting to approximately 0.76 acres, the property comprises a substantial five-bedroom house, two self-contained one-bedroom cottages, a range of brick-built farm buildings, concrete yard, barn and an orchard.

Built in the 1970's, Redcliffe Farmhouse provides great potential for modernisation or remodelling, (subject to any necessary consents).

The accommodation currently comprises reception hall, sitting room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, sunroom, study, utility, and integral garage on the ground floor.

The first floor provides master suite with ensuite bathroom, dressing room and balcony, 4 further double bedrooms (1 ensuite), a bathroom and separate WC.

The extensive loft provides potential for conversion subject to the necessary consents.

The front garden is mainly laid to lawn with steps leading to the front door. There is off-road parking for several vehicles, adjacent to the cottages. The rear garden is lawned with a well-established rear boundary providing shading from the yard.

Cottages
The self-contained cottages both comprise a ground floor kitchen/living area and bathroom with one bedroom on the first floor. One of the cottages is currently let on an AST and will be sold with the benefit of a sitting tenant.

Both would benefit from a schedule of refurbishment works and provide possible use as holiday lets, subject to any necessary consents.

Farm Buildings and Yard
The extensive range of brick-built outbuildings comprise a former dairy and stables. With corrugated roofs, these buildings provide potential for conversion, subject to planning permission and any other consents.

There is a useful concrete yard with direct access from Barnhill Road and an agricultural barn measuring 60’ x 40’ (18.28m x 12.19m).
