FARRER ESTATE HISTORY Originally built in 1867, this elegant Mansion House and Estate has been beautifully restored, retaining many of the attractive period features. Situated in the village of East Stoke on the River Frome, just a few miles from Wareham and Wool, the Farrer Estate is surrounded by countryside of outstanding natural beauty. The Estate has a rich and varied heritage; the main house playing an important role in WWII, creating a happy home for evacuees escaping the blitz before being requisitioned by the Americans to house Army officers. Echoes of its past are evident in the painstakingly restored fireplaces, decorative mouldings and the retained servant’s bells, all of which combine to give the interiors a truly unique and unmistakably British sense of style. The family’s old stables are equally impressive buildings that have also been restored and redeveloped to create 5 charming and characterful homes. A grand stone Porch topped with ornate stone balustrade and crest dated 1867 frames the outer arched doorway, whilst an original Victorian tiled floor welcomes you in. Double doors open into the main Entrance Hall, a very majestic Hall with high ceiling and polished stone floor, original fireplace, stone pillared arches and large comfortable communal seating area. A door leads off to ground floor apartments 1, 2 & 3 and a sweeping oak staircase leads up to 9, 10 & 11 first floor apartments passing a magnificent stained glass window. Apartment 2 - The Front Door opens into an Entrance Hallway with 2 large storage cupboards. A door leads into a spacious open plan Lounge/Kitchen/Diner, a lovely light space with large south facing box window offering views over the communal gardens and a smaller west facing window bringing extra light into this already bright room. The Lounge/Diner has plenty of space for comfortable seating, dining table and chairs. A very social layout for family time or entertaining. The Kitchen area is stylishly designed by Kitchen Elegance with a wide range of wall and base units, marble worktops inset with individual stainless steel sinks and Bosch gas hob with extractor hood over. Integrated into the design is a full size Indesit fridge/freezer, Bosch oven, Indesit dishwasher and Hotpoint washing machine. The boiler is tucked away in a separate cupboard off this room. The Master Bedroom is dual aspect with south and west facing windows overlooking the gardens. A lovely bright room with original feature fireplace surround topped by a marble window sill, ideal to use as a feature dressing table. The room extends into the circular turret which would make a compact study or dressing room, fed with light from a high window and exterior door which leads directly to the gardens. The partly tiled En Suite Shower Room comprises of walk in shower, basin with vanity unit, w.c., heated towel rail and large wall mirror. Bedroom 2 is a spacious west facing double room with ample space for wardrobes. The partly tiled En Suite consists of large walk in shower, basin with vanity unity, w.c., large wall mirror and heated towel rail. Family Bathroom is partly tiled consisting of bath with screen and overhead shower, wash basin with vanity unit, w.c., large wall mirror and heated towel rail. Hardwood Flooring extends through the Entrance Hall, Lounge, Dining and Kitchen with the Bedrooms being fully carpeted and the Bathroom/En Suite’s have tiled floors. LPG Gas fired central heating with Logic combi boiler, double glazed UPVC windows, and fire doors throughout. Impressive Entrance Gates and a Private road leads to all properties and designated parking, with extra visitor parking. The extensive communal grounds are screened from the road by a bank of mature trees and have been tastefully landscaped and restored to their former glory including the ornamental pond (on which the Farrer family children raced motorised boats with war-time evacuees), now home to an impressive collection of Koi Carp.
