WINGFIELD PLACETHORNFORD • DORSET

A home in the countryside

Welcome to Wingfield Place, nestled within the idyllic West Dorset countryside on the outer edge of the charming village of Thornford,

around four miles from the historic market town of Sherborne.

These homes have been crafted with you in mind, with something to suit everyone’s lifestyle and taste, from young professionals, growing

families, or retirees. If you are seeking a more relaxed pace of life, it can be found at Wingfield Place.

Breath-taking views across the countryside can be admired here, with easily accessed countryside walks on your doorstep and

a route into the village along Pound Road, all with the convenience of only being a few miles drive away from

charming local villages and market towns.

Concept and design

Wingfield Place has been meticulously designed to ensure materials, architectural detailing, layout and open spaces are sympathetic with the local vernacular and the site’s rural setting.

The external finishes of these attractive homes display an array of examples of this, from local natural stone façades and bricks that emulate the tonal variations of local stone. Details typical of those found in character properties can be seen, from traditional style windows, dormer roof styles, stone window sills, cottage porches and decorative brickwork to chimneys.

Wyatt Homes recognises the beauty in character properties and understands the role new homes have in maintaining tradition and heritage, whilst offering the benefits of a contemporary layout for modern living. These homes feature open plan kitchen-dining rooms with French doors leading out onto gardens with a patio, perfect for alfresco dining in the warm summer evenings and a separate light and airy living room to gather with family for a place to wind down in the evening. Larger homes feature a additional generous sized room to the ground floor, making an ideal home working space, or bedroom for guests. The uncompromising quality continues throughout a Wyatt Home, as high specification fixtures and fittings come as standard, from bespoke kitchen units, quartz worktops, Neff appliances, ceramic tiles by the highly respectable brand Porcelanosa. The result is a truly exquisite home to enjoy.

Careful consideration has been given to the ecological and rural setting of the development. Wingfield Place has a courtyard style feel, with homes in the centre positioned in a way that creates a small village impression, typical of Thornford's rural character. Detached properties to the north east will be set back from open green space with views to open countryside. Additional hedgerows will be planted surrounding the development, amongst the development will be pockets of trees and meadow grassland, along with bird and bee bricks, bat boxes and sparrow terraces to provide a habitat for our wildlife residents.

These green spaces are an integral part of the development, something we recognise as being important to the well-being of residents, without having to venture away from home. Natural timber play structures such as zigzag stilts and a climbing tree trunk can be enjoyed by children. Walkable routes to join together the groups of family houses have been designed to give residents a sense of community.

Wingfield Place truly is a collection of beautifully styled homes to admire and with its stunning Dorset countryside surrounding, it’s a hidden gem to call home.

On your doorstep

Thornford’s past is kept alive with a variety of Grade II listed buildings, including a Victorian clock tower which is very prominent in the village centre.

A range of facilities can be found, including a general store, post office, a popular country pub, church, village hall, and a railway station. The village is equipped for young families, offering a primary school and community playing fields. There are local transport links into neighbouring towns, including buses, coaches and Thornford railway station on the Heart of Wessex Line running between Bristol and Weymouth. A little further afield, Sherborne’s history and Georgian architecture of distinctive ochre-coloured hamstone can be admired in many buildings in the town, as well as Sherborne Abbey, the manor house and two castles. The town is referred to in the Domesday

Book as ‘Scir Burne’, named by the Saxon inhabitants, meaning “clear stream”, which runs through the centre today.

There’s an array of schools here, from nursery, secondary, sixth form, grammar and boarding schools. Convenient shopping and leisure amenities are aplenty, from independent boutique shops, to well-known names, along with a variety of major supermarkets. Sport clubs for tennis, football and rugby can be enjoyed by all ages. The pageant gardens, garden centres and many independent coffee houses offer a moment to unwind and enjoy the community feel this quintessential Dorset town has to offer.
