Home Farm, Blandford Forum

Home Farm

Constructed in 2004, this beautifully presented character-style property forms part of the exclusive Home Farm development, managed by the well-renowned Cognatum Estates. Home Farm is exactly as the name suggests and houses farm buildings that have been converted into spacious properties, each with a rich sense of character. Further cottages built in the grounds complement the architectural style of the older buildings, and all have conservatories and balconies. The exclusive development is situated within the sought after village of Iwerne Minster and sits within approximately 3.5 acres of communal grounds adjoining delightful open countryside, falling within a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
