This gorgeous four-bed home has everything a horsey family could wish for, from the large arena, immaculate four-box yard and more than 10 acres to play with.
Grade II-listed Prospect Place is on the outskirts of Cattistock, a Dorset National Landscape village. The cottage was originally a stone barn and was converted into a home in 2020.
Local facilities in Maiden Newton lie at a mile’s distance and include a supermarket, primary school, doctor’s surgery and a railway station with departures for Bath and Bristol. The house is 11 miles from Dorchester and a stone’s throw from the A37 to Yeovil and beyond to the A303.
Local equestrian centres include Kingston Maurward EC (13 miles), Chard Equestrian (17 miles) and Moreton Equestrian (20 miles). International venue Bicton Arena is 44 miles away.
If you like to hunt, enjoy a day out with the Cattistock or South Dorset. Need a vet? The experts at Dorset Equine Veterinary Services are 15 miles from the door.
Prospect Place is on the market for £1.75m with Symonds and Sampson. Let’s take a look around…
