Holtwood Cottage is a charming, unlisted five bedroom stone built house, under a tiled roof that has formed part of a farm since William the Conqueror's time and was even mentioned in the Dooms Day Book. It was purchased by the current owners as three very run down cottages in 1982 and converted into one residence, before an additional single storey annex was subsequently created in 1994. There is now an exciting opportunity for some general modernisation throughout to take full advantage of this fantastic setting. Set in circa an acre of land with some excellent outbuildings, providing further potential for a holiday cottage, substantial office and/or a party barn (subject to the necessary planning consents), this is a fabulous house in an idyllic spot.The ground floor comprises of a study, a 29'4 ft sitting room with conservatory, opening out to the pretty gardens, providing an excellent space for both indoor/outdoor entertaining. There is an open fireplace with stone surround and original wooden panelling, adding to the charm and character of this property. The kitchen/dining room is traditionally fitted with a range of wooden base and wall units, an electric range oven (green), space and connection for a second oven, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. There is a large area for table and chairs and the pantry and utility room conveniently lie just off the kitchen. There are five bedrooms on the first floor, four of which face south overlooking the gardens and allowing the sunlight to stream in. There is a separate family bathroom and the principal bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe.In addition, attached to the house downstairs, there is a single storey, one bedroom self-contained annexe with sitting room, kitchen and bathroom, perfect for elderly relatives, guests or indeed it could easily be incorporated back into the main house.GARDENS AND OUTBUILDINGSA real feature of this property are its beautiful gardens and surroundings. The house is approached through wooden gates via a long driveway which leads up to the house through open fields. The large stone barn, workshop, summerhouse and greenhouse offer versatile outbuildings; the potential is endless.The gardens are well stocked with a variety of shrubs and plants including a selection of roses, iris, lupins, delphiniums, day lilies, fritillaries and a Banksia climbing rose that entwines itself along the property. The small kitchen garden is ideal for those who would like to grow their own fruit and vegetables and the mature gardens are a pleasure and have been planted with a variety of trees which include sycamore, maple, apple and cherry. Holtwood Cottage holds an enormous amount of charm and character and would make the ideal family home, striking the perfect balance between rural setting and convenient location, with all the amenities of Sherborne close by. LOCATIONThe location of Holtwood Cottage lies amidst some of the most unspoilt and lovely Blackmore Vale countryside, as the gently undulating pastureland gives way to the more rugged heights of Dogbury, Nettlecombe and Bulbarrow. Unsurprisingly this is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and little has changed over the centuries, remaining much as it was when Thomas Hardy immortalised it as the 'Vale of the Little Dairies' in his Wessex novels. Quiet lanes gently wind their way through this rural idyll with pretty villages comprising mainly period houses and cottages breaking up the lightly wooded landscape. Bishops Caundle has a Post Office/shop, public house, garage, church, and village hall. The pretty town of Sherborne, renowned for its Abbey, schools and two castles, is approximately 6 miles away and offers a range of traditional shops, boutiques and supermarkets. Other accessible towns in the area include Blandford, Sturminster Newton, Shaftesbury, Yeovil and Dorchester.Communications to this part of the world have improved markedly in recent years with the upgrading of the A303, to the M3 and London. To the north of the village, the A30 gives access to Shaftesbury and Salisbury and there are mainline railway stations in Sherborne and Templecombe, serving London Waterloo in a little over two hours and Exeter to the West.SPORTING AND RECREATION There are numerous golf courses within easy motoring distance including Sherborne and Yeovil. Racing at Wincanton, Salisbury, Bath and Exeter. Water sports on the Dorset coast (about 30 miles) or on Sutton Bingham Reservoir near Yeovil. The area is well known for its beauty and there is an extensive network of bridleways and footpaths. Theatres at Bath, Taunton, Salisbury, and Bournemouth. The Newt Country Estate and Hauser & Wirth, in Bruton, provide further cultural opportunities.EDUCATION The area is particularly noted for the high quality of its schools for children of all ages including independent schools such as Sherborne School for Boys, Sherborne School for Girls, Sherborne Preparatory School, Hazelgrove, Port Regis, Leweston and Bruton Schools as well as Bryanston School in Blandford Forum. The C of E Primary School, All Saints, is within the village and the highly regarded Gryphon and Gillingham Secondary Schools are easily accessible.

The two words that spring to mind about The Manor House are unique and unexpected. The house dates from about 1660 replacing an older building and is chock full of character and local history. When it was built it was clearly one of the most prominent houses in the village and today stands as an example of a fine 17th century family house with a charming 19th century cottage attached on one side. It is built of local stone under a mainly tiled roof although one small section of roof behind is thatched and it is Grade II* listed. It has also retained a wealth of original architectural fittings including stone mullion windows with diamond leaded lights, chamfered ceiling beams, several fine fireplaces including an inglenook with a bread oven in the kitchen, original joinery including a plank and muntin wall between the sitting and dining rooms and several attractive, panelled window seats. The sitting room is especially noteworthy having a distinctive Tudor ceiling of deep moulded beams, a magnificent, arched stone fireplace and carved graffiti dating back to the late 17th century.A two storey extension at the back currently provides a guest wing but with minimal investment could serve as a self-contained, two bedroom annexe or holiday cottage. The main part of the house has three good sized reception rooms and a lovely, characterful kitchen/breakfast room looking onto the walled garden, a gas-fired range cooker, double Belfast sink, single Belfast sink, two-section, walk-in larder and bespoke timber units under granite work surfaces. Upstairs in the main part of the house are four good-sized double bedrooms sharing two bathrooms with separate shower cubicles. The principal bedroom has also an ensuite dressing room (potential bath/shower room), which can also serve as a fifth bedroom if required as it has dual access to the main landing. The upper floor of the guest annexe has two further double bedrooms and a shower room.The Manor House is set back from the passing and behind a pavement and a low stone wall surmounted by wrought iron railings. A gravelled driveway extends down one side of the house to a parking area within the house's walled garden. Immediately behind the house is a paved terrace dropping down to lawn beside a three-bay, period cow byre and a walled vegetable garden. Beyond the lawn is a further concrete parking area in front of stone barn that currently serves as a large, single garage. Behind the walled garden is a part-walled arboretum containing a wide selection of mature trees including Monkey Puzzle, Gingko, Mountain Ash, Cabbage Tree, wild cherry, oak, plum, walnut and a Giant Redwood. The next section of garden contains a part-walled, mixed orchard containing dessert and eating apples, plum, greengage, crab apple and quince. The final section of grounds is an area of native, broadleaf woodland, once the site of a tennis court, which now provides a mellow "mindful space" where meandering paths trace their way through the trees to immerse the walker in nature and birdsong. In all the garden and grounds extend to about 0.97 acre (0.39 hectare).The Manor House is situated off the unbusy central street (High Street) passing through the centre of the large, attractive village of Yetminster. The village is located within a conservation area and is a thriving community with a health centre with dispensary, veterinary surgery, railway station, church, village hall, pub, local Spar supermarket, primary school and sports/social club with a tennis court. Sherborne is convenient for most day-to-day requirements including a Waitrose supermarket and many local businesses, whilst the larger towns of Yeovil and Dorchester are also both within easy reach when required.

The land enjoys access off council roads both to the north and east and whilst the current farm drive is located to the eastern boundary, there is potential to build a new access drive (subject to planning) off the northern boundary that would lead past the lake, rising to the farmhouse and buildings. Over the years a number of the fields, which are all currently laid to pasture, have been amalgamated, yet many specimen oak trees have been retained which gives the land a parkland feel, appropriate for the style of the house. The farm also has a high amenity value enjoying the benefit of a large lake, various additional ponds and fern brook which passes through the holding on the western boundary.These amenities and privacy they enjoy provide a haven for wildlife and the overall biodiversity of the holding.Lot 2Planning permission was granted on the 14th December 2021, planning reference 2/2020/1169/FUL for the demolition of two semi-redundant cottages and the construction of two new semi-detached houses.The site, which totals some 0.65 acres lies on the eastern boundary of the holding, enjoying separate access off the council road.Planning permission makes a provision for each dwelling to offer accommodation on the ground floor of entrance porch, open plan sitting room, kitchen and dining area with stairs to first floor and utility room with door to outside and cloakroom.
