The sitting room is a big dual aspect room with a wood burning stove and also having patio doors out to the terrace. Off the kitchen is a utility room with back door to outside.
The bedrooms are all doubles with fitted wardrobes and there is a family bathroom and separate cloakroom.
Situation
Henley is about 1/2 mile from the nearby village of Buckland Newton, within a National Landscape (formerly aonb) and to the edge of the Blackmore Vale. Buckland Newton has a thriving and revitalised village store, the renowned Gaggle of Geese public house, a village hall, a popular primary school and a parish Church. Dorchester about 11 miles, Sherborne about 9 miles and Sturminster Newton about 8 miles all offer shopping, educational and recreational facilities. Both Dorchester and Sherborne have a mainline railway service to London Waterloo. Cerne Abbas is about 4 miles offering a doctor's surgery, 3 public houses and a good village shop. There is a variety of sporting facilities and leisure pursuits in the area including several golf courses and the surrounding rolling countryside offers fantastic walking and riding. The area is well known for many excellent schools in both the state and private sectors.
Directions
From Sturminster Newton head towards Sherborne on the A3030 turning left towards Kings Stag and Pulham. Pass through both villages and turn left towards Buckland Newton on the B3143, passing the village shop and continuing out of the village. Continue south and after about half a mile the track to Narn Farm will be found on the right immediately after a white house with the bungalow visible in an elevated position from the road.
Outside
The property is approached via a track from the B3143 on to a drive where there is ample parking and turning space for several vehicles. Adjacent to the bungalow is a double garage with power, light and electric roller door. There is a wooden stable block comprising three large stables and a tack room with power and light plus water to the middle stable. The garden is on three sides of the bungalow, east, south and west and is laid to lawn with a large terrace to the south spanning the width of the rear elevation and with doors from the kitchen and sitting room. This is a superb place to sit and enjoy the fantastic views over the rolling countryside. From the garden to the east of the bungalow a gate opens into a small paddock of 0.28 acres which then adjoins the larger field of 8.21 acres of gently sloping pasture lying to the south with mature hedge boundaries, two water troughs and road access.
Planning permission is approved to replace the existing stable block with a much larger (21m x 8m) barn as storage and farm workshop. Dorset Planning reference wd/D/20/002713.
