The Gully

Anchor Farm,
Sherborne,
Dorset,
England

Set within generous landscaped gardens and offering stylish interiors, a welcoming woodburner, a luxury hot tub and a dedicated games room, The Gully is a beautifully appointed countryside retreat near the village of Trent in Hummer, warmly welcoming families, friends and well‑behaved pets.

Its calm surroundings, contemporary design and thoughtful layout create a wonderful sense of escape.  A wide private driveway provides ample parking and leads into a striking entrance hall designed to feel open and welcoming.

The property’s thoughtful layout includes level access and wide doorways, providing excellent accessibility while maintaining a refined, contemporary feel throughout.

Inside, the impressive kitchen and dining area forms the heart of the home, combining sleek modern appliances with the warmth of a woodburning stove — an inviting space for preparing meals, enjoying relaxed dinners or stepping outside for alfresco dining.  Outside, the expansive, fully enclosed garden is one of The Gully’s most desirable features.

With its large lawn, patio seating and access to an orchard, it offers a private and tranquil setting ideal for outdoor meals, quiet moments in nature or simply unwinding with family, friends and up to three well‑behaved pets.

The sense of luxury continues with the beautifully positioned hot tub, perfect for evenings under the stars and long, restorative soaks.
Indoors, the stylish sitting room and dedicated games room with a pool table ensure there is always something to enjoy, whatever the weather.   Enhancing the comfort of your stay is a well‑equipped utility room and an outdoor tap — ideal for rinsing off walking boots and muddy paws after exploring the surrounding countryside — a thoughtful touch that blends practicality with the home’s rural setting.  The ground floor offers two beautifully appointed bedrooms: a king‑size room with direct garden access and a contemporary en‑suite wet room, and a twin room with an additional sofa bed, accompanied by a separate cloakroom.

This layout is perfect for multi‑generational groups or guests preferring single‑level accommodation.

Upstairs, a bright mezzanine landing leads to two further king‑size bedrooms, each with a private en‑suite, providing comfort and privacy for every guest.   With its blend of luxurious interiors, generous outdoor space, enclosed landscaped gardens, woodburner, games room and private hot tub — all wrapped in a calm countryside setting where pets are warmly welcomed — The Gully offers an indulgent rural getaway.
