The property

Gould's Farmhouse is an inviting, pet‑friendly country house set within the village of Milborne St Andrew, Dorset.Ideally located for exploring the Dorset National Landscape, it suits families or groups of friends looking for space, character and easy access to the surrounding countryside.

With a generous garden, an open fire and a woodburning stove, this seventeenth‑century farmhouse provides a comfortable and characterful setting for a relaxed rural escape. Approached directly from the village road, the farmhouse makes an immediate impression, with its traditional brick exterior and mature garden reflecting its long history.

Inside, that sense of heritage continues, carefully balanced with thoughtful touches that ensure the house works effortlessly as a holiday home.

Throughout, the rooms are complemented by period furniture and charming details that quietly reference the building’s past, adding warmth and character to the living spaces. At the centre of the house sits the farmhouse‑style kitchen, finished with flagstone floors and arranged around the Aga.

Designed for gathering, it is a welcoming space where days begin over breakfast and evenings end with supper shared at an easy pace.

Practical by nature yet full of character, it works equally well for preparing picnics or enjoying unhurried meals together. Heading along the hallway, the dining room is centred around an impressive inglenook fireplace with a woodburning stove.

The atmosphere here encourages long, sociable evenings, with plenty of room to gather around the table as the fire warms the space and conversation flows. The sitting room offers a comfortable retreat, with soft carpeting, a chandelier overhead and tall windows that look out over the garden at the front of the house.

An open fire adds to the sense of comfort, making this an ideal place to settle down with a book, enjoy a film, or relax together after a day spent exploring the area. Opening off the dining room, the conservatory is perfectly positioned to catch the sun.

Bright and welcoming, it provides a relaxed spot to enjoy morning coffee, spend quiet time with a book, or simply sit and enjoy views of the garden as the day unfolds. A handy ground‑floor cloakroom adds to the practicality of the house, while a lift — available by prior arrangement — helps ensure accessibility for guests with limited mobility. Upstairs, the farmhouse offers four well‑arranged bedrooms, each designed to provide a peaceful place to rest.

Two king‑size bedrooms each benefit from their own en‑suite, offering comfort and privacy for couples.

The third bedroom is a twin with an en‑suite shower room, while the fourth bedroom — another twin and particularly suited to younger guests — is accessed via the third bedroom, creating a flexible and family‑friendly layout. Outside, the delightful enclosed gardens provide a lovely space to unwind, with specimen trees, pretty planting and a variety of seating areas dotted throughout.

Whether stretching out on a sun lounger, enjoying a quiet moment among the flowers, lighting the barbecue as the afternoon turns to evening, or simply soaking up the fresh country air, the garden offers an inviting setting at any time of day. A children’s playground is located just along the road, while the village shop and pub are all within easy walking distance, making it easy to explore the village on foot. Beyond Milborne St Andrew, the surrounding area offers plenty to discover.

The Dorset National Landscape unfolds in every direction with rolling countryside and scenic walking routes.

Dorchester combines historic streets with lively markets, while the Jurassic Coast draws visitors with its dramatic cliffs and coastal paths.

Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door showcase some of Dorset’s most iconic scenery, while Weymouth Bay offers sandy beaches and classic seaside attractions.

For a more leisurely outing, Athelhampton House and Gardens provides an enjoyable day out, with its Tudor house and beautifully kept grounds a short drive away.

Sculpture by the Lake, around six miles away, offers a peaceful and contemplative experience set within landscaped gardens (please note this attraction does not permit children or dogs).

Monkey World, the Bovington Tank Museum and Farmer Palmer’s add further variety for visitors of all ages. Gould's Farmhouse offers a characterful base for spending time together, enjoying the Dorset countryside and coastline from a welcoming village setting.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £400.
