If your idea of a dream home is a rural retreat with character and plenty of space, both indoors and outdoors, then you’re going to love this place tucked away in a Weymouth village.

The impressive and substantial Victorian Bayard House, set in stunning, private walled gardens and situated in a delightful setting at Upwey, is now up for sale and featured on Rightmove.

The detached property is constructed with stone faced elevations under a slate roof. It dates from 1870 and was subsequently extended in 1890, creating a spacious family home which has been under the same ownership for more than 40 years.
