A 17th century country estate that comes complete with outbuildings and sits in eight acres of sprawling land is on the market and could be yours.

The Manor Farmhouse in Kington Magna, near Gillingham , boasts seven bedrooms, six bathrooms and six reception rooms along with a gym, a games room across three buildings and an outdoor swimming pool.

With a paddock, pond, lake and extensive gardens, the property also provides extensive views of the Blackmore Vale.

It comes with a hefty price tag, though, with the Grade II listed house and land on the market for 2,150,000.

According to Rightmove, a 25 year mortgage on the property with an annual interest rate of 2.4 per cent and ten per cent deposit of 215,000 will cost an eyewatering 8,584 a month to pay off.

A spokesman for Knight Frank, which is advertising the property, said: "Manor Farmhouse is a handsome Grade II listed country house dating from the mid-17th century with attractive later additions.

"It is constructed of stone and painted brick under a tiled roof.

"It sits in an elevated position, set well back from the village road and benefits from light and spacious accommodation, with the majority of the reception rooms offering impressive views over the gardens and the Blackmore Vale beyond.

"Manor Farmhouse is full of character and the current owners have restored the whole property to an exceptional standard bringing everything that was required up to date, both internally and externally.

"The house includes many period features, including flagstone floors, open fireplaces with ornate stone and wood surrounds, pretty cornicing and fitted shelving.

"The outbuildings lie to the north of the house around a large gravel drive with ample space for parking cars. On the western side is garaging for three cars.

"To the east is the large stone barn which comprises the games room, gym and bike room.

"Adjoining the large stone barn, the cottage has independent services and includes a kitchen and sitting room downstairs with two bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor."
