Outside is a superb range of outbuildings including a stone barn which could easily be converted into an annexe or office, and extensive stabling. To the south of the house is a terrace with fine views out over the countryside, and a lawned area of garden - the grounds come to around 17 acres.
Wantsley Farm is located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty just over a mile from the pretty market town of Beaminster, and Bridport has more extensive facilities. The property also offers easy access to miles of beaches and walks along the World Heritage Coastline.
