Property of the week: £2million home with a tennis court

Folly Farm is a spacious five-bedroom property set in the village of Uploders, with idyllic views of the Dorset countryside.

The extensive grounds are home to a huge barn, garden office, tennis court and even a modern-looking holiday cottage.

The home which dates back more than 300 years is bursting with charm and character as the traditional cottage has an eye-catching thatched roof and walls embellished by wisteria and climbing roses.

The grade ii building has undergone a major extension over the years, meaning that there are ample amounts of space for the whole family.

Upon first entry to the property, guests are met with a clash of old and new as both modern and traditional themes run throughout, with plenty of natural light streaming in.

A large inglenook fireplace and wood burning stove are particular focal points of a spacious sitting room, with double doors leading to the showstopper of a garden.

A river runs through the garden which has been beautifully tended to throughout the years.

There is also a series of five ponds which often attract dragonflies, frogs, newts, insects and bees.

A small orchard is also complete with fruit trees in between the pond and barn area of the garden, which is planted with daffodils and camassia, snowdrops and oxeye daisies.

Moving back inside, the dining room is accented by wooden beams which adds to the character exuded by the property.

An open plan kitchen is complete with a sitting area with an open fire at one end, and a dining area at the other end.

There is a large door which opens out to a flat roof from the guest bedroom which is an ideal place to sit and enjoy a morning coffee whilst watching the abundance of wildlife.

Previously, the barn has been used as a brilliant wedding venue and the gardens are often frequented by tawny owls, woodpeckers, hedgehogs and a huge variety of British birds, as well as roe, fallow and muntjac deer.
