Built during the reign of George IV with over 2,100 ft² of living space, Fleet Farmhouse is a lovely example of a family house of the late-Georgian era, reflecting many of the traits of the age and is Grade II listed. It is set back from the lane that passes through the hamlet and has painted and rendered walls with a colonnaded front porch and small pane sash windows under a Welsh slate roof. The house has a classic, four-square interior layout and is thought to have incorporated an earlier barn into the rear of the structure. It has an east-west axis and therefore catches the best of the available natural light throughout the day. In the height of summer this lasts well into the evening. To one side is a later, single storey extension that has twin pairs of French windows that look out over the garden towards a backdrop of unspoilt countryside. As well as the sitting room in the extension there is a good sized reception room on either side of the central hallway and both are fitted with a wood-burning stoves that do a stirling job supporting the oil-fired central heating system in the depths of winter. The kitchen/dining room also looks out to the rear and is fitted with contemporary units and a range of built-in appliances under timber work surfaces with a similarly fitted laundry room beyond. Beneath the kitchen is a useful cellar. Upstairs there are four double bedrooms off a centrally positioned landing. The main bedroom has an ensuite shower room and the remaining three bedrooms share use of the dual-access family bathroom and a downstairs shower room off the laundry room. Fleet Farmhouse is set back from the passing lane behind clipped, chest-high privet hedging. The property's former coach house, which now serves as a double garage with a hayloft above for storage, stands a short distance from the house and fronts onto the lane behind a narrow gravel strip of gravel. The garden immediately around the house is level before dropping away behind. It is approached by car via a rear gravelled drive that ends at a parking area. Beside it is a second detached double garage with a loft room above. This could easily be converted to create additional accommodation, subject to obtaining the necessary consents. The garden amounts to about half an acre and is designed to be easily maintained as it contains an extensive lawn dotted with trees and mature shrubs to provide privacy and shelter. Within the garden are several seating areas to suit the weather and different times of the day along with two substantial garden stores.Piddlehinton (The Thimble Inn) 0.5 mile, Piddletrenthide village centre 1 mile, Cerne Abbas 4 miles, Puddletown 5 miles, A35 4.5 miles, Dorchester 6.5 miles (Waterloo 2 hours 36 minutes/Bristol 2 hours 3 minutes), Sherborne 14 miles (Waterloo 2 hours 10 minutes), Weymouth/Jurassic Coast 14 miles, Yeovil 19 miles, Bournemouth Airport 29.5 miles.(Distances and time approximate).
