5 Manor Farm Originally built in the 16th century and subsequently refashioned in the 18th century, with an east range added in the 17th century, Manor Farm is a fine Grade II listed example of a larger, 2 storey Dorset farmhouse and is built of local stone under a Welsh slate roof with stone tiled eaves. The property which has great charm and character and has been owned by the same family since 1962 has scope for updating. It retains many period features including fine fireplaces, stone mullion windows, window seats and ceiling timbers. From the entrance porch, a door opens into the dining room, which has a fireplace and carved chequer-board ceiling timbers. On one side a door leads through to the kitchen/breakfast room, which has a tiled floor and is fitted with a range of painted wall and floor-mounted units and a 4 oven oil-fired AGA (green), with a further door leading through to the utility room. A stone-flagged corridor leads off the dining room, with doors off to the cloakroom and the reception rooms of the house. These include the light and airy study, which has windows on two sides and has a fitted bookcase, and the sitting room, which overlooks the garden and has a fine stone fireplace. At the far end of the corridor double doors open to the drawing room, which also has windows on two sides, an inglenook fireplace, a window seat and ceiling timbers. On the first floor off the landing are the master bedroom with walk-through dressing area and en-suite bathroom, three further double bedrooms, a single bedroom and two bathrooms. A broad secondary staircase rises to the attics, which have been converted to provide two further double bedrooms off a central landing. Gardens & Outbuildings Manor Farm is approached via a tarmac drive leading to a parking and turning area in front of the house. Immediately facing the house are a traditional stone-built threshing barn dating from the mid-18th century and a stone built granary and cart shed incorporating a boarded upper floor and two stables. Behind the barn is a concrete former dairy yard with stone-built cow byres on two sides.
