We bought Bankhayes in 1997 and have made a number of alterations and extensions over the years. There is an aerial photo on the upstairs landing of the house around 1960. There is also a copy of the auction details when it was sold in 1956 as Bank Farmhouse. We believe that the core part of the building dates from the mid-eighteenth century.
There are five bedrooms: four with double beds and one with three single beds. There are two main bathrooms upstairs and a shower/toilet downstairs. On the ground floor there is a main reception room with a log fire, a well-stocked kitchen/dining/sitting area and a large conservatory for dining and reading. There is also a study room and a utility area.
The house is pet-friendly (within reason). There is a large area for parking at least 4 cars.
Located in Dorchester, this cottage is in a rural area.

Looking to enjoy an event or a game while in town? See what's happening at The Avenue Stadium or South West Survival.
