About the property
OFFERING A GREAT HOME AND INCOME OPPORTUNITY - MUST BE SEEN TO APPRECIATE THE SPACE, LAND AND THE INCREDIBLE COUNTRYSIDE VIEWS
This charming property lies on the outskirts of Sutton Waldron, a village in the Blackmore Vale in North Dorset and is situated under the scarp of Cranborne Chase, approximately 8 miles North of Blandford Forum and approximately 5 miles south of Shaftesbury. The village has a village hall and St Bartholomew's Church. Since 1928, the parish has been united with that of Iwerne Minster. The Saxon name 'Sutton' means 'south farm' and refers to its position as being south of a well-known place, while the manorial addition of 'Waldron' is a corruption of `Waleran', the name of the huntsman who held the estate at the time of the Domesday Book (1086). The neighbouring village of Fontmell Magna has a village hall, public house and shop. The two thriving market towns of Blandford Forum and Shaftesbury both offer a wide range of day-to-day amenities including medical, dental, veterinarian surgeries, leisure facilities and shopping.
The surrounding area is renowned for its educational choice from both the state and private sectors. The choice from the latter is extensive and includes Clayesmore, Bryanston, Milton Abbey, Canford, the Sherborne schools, Hanford, Knighton House, Leweston, Sandroyd, Hazlegrove and Port Regis.
