Old Church Farm

Situated in the lovely small village of Broadmayne, only ten minutes from the county town of Dorchester, and 15 minutes from the Jurassic Coast, the 17th century Old Church Farm has been beautifully renovated but still retains many of its original features including a 17th century window with some of the original hand spun panes still in place. Wooden beams can be seen throughout the property, and a large inglenook fireplace which still has a Bressumer beam. Many flagstone floors still exist, one contains an inlaid iron horse shoe which according to Saxon (7th century) superstition is said to keep the threshold safe from devils and witches. There is still 18th century wooden wall panelling in the hallway.The property was originally part of the estate belonging to the Tudor King Henry VIII, who subsequently sold the house and its lands to W.
