Description

Gould’s Farmhouse is a 4 bedroom farmhouse with large enclosed garden in the heart of rural Dorset. A beautiful period farmhouse dating back to 1600s with some original features.

It has recently been completely renovated and is furnished as a second home with antiques but retaining the comforts of modern living. It has a large sitting room and separate dining room as well as a small office offering wireless internet access. There is a lovely south facing conservatory.

The house is ideal for those with limited mobility, as it has a proper lift to the upstairs area, (by prior arrangement only).

Outside there is a large garden with plenty of room for the children to play. Also sun loungers and BBQ. There is a good children's playground 100 yards up the road. The house is within easy walking distance of the post office and village stores, providing basic provisions, and a pub.

The pretty village location offers easy access to the world famous Jurassic Coast and is in the centre of Thomas Hardye country - the fictional town of Casterbridge (Dorchester) being 8 miles distant. The stunning coastline at Lulworth Cover and Durdle Door is just 14 miles away. About a 30 minute drive away is Weymouth Bay which boasts long and sandy beaches with traditional beach entertainments such as donkey rides and Punch and Judy. Within 20 minutes you can visit the acclaimed Monkey World and Bovington Tank Museum. For the younger visitors Farmer Palmers is less than 30 minutes away.

We were able to spread out and relax across the homely spaces

By Stewart on 11-Aug-2022

We had a lovely week at Gould’s Farmhouse. Three generations fitted very comfortably in the generous accommodation. The children loved the huge garden - wonderful for hide and seek and ball games - whilst the adults were able to spread out and relax across the homely spaces downstairs. We had excellent meals at the local pub and the village is well placed for all that Dorset has to offer. We recommend it as an excellent place to stay. Stewart Leicestershire August 2022

A very Special place to stay

By Charles and Clare on 27-Jun-2022

This is a very special place to stay and we have already made a booking for a week next summer. It is in a stunning location in a tranquil part of the village, which has a thriving community feel. As we walked through the door, the house felt instantly welcoming. It is a real home and immediately this helped us to relax into holiday mode. The beds (always of interest to me as I have a dodgy back) are very comfortable with deep supportive mattresses and the rooms are large and airy with attractive views over fields and hedgerows. There was plenty of space on the ground floor for our party of seven and the dining room gave meals a real sense of occasion. This was especially true when we were visited one day by some relations for a jubilee lunch. The garden is really lovely and being so close to a large playground and a very child-friendly pub was ideal for our small grandchildren. The village has a very handy local store and there is another one nearby in Puddletown. We greatly enjoyed our visits to nearby Athelhampton House & Gardens, the old abbey church at Milton Abbas and Kingston Maurward Gardens & Animal Park. The beach and pirate-themed mini golf at Weymouth are only about 40 minutes away. Gould’s Farmhouse is an exceptional holiday property and we feel very fortunate to have discovered it.
