Description

Stylish, contemporary barn conversion located in a rural spot near to the border between Dorset and Somerset. This is the ideal base for a fun filled family holiday spent touring this beautiful area

Set within a working livery surrounded by 40 acres of rolling countryside, this peaceful spot is a great touring base. Local amenities can be found a short drive away and include a popular farm shop (2.3 miles) and pub (2 miles). The nearby market town of Shaftesbury (3 miles) is home to Gold Hill, made famous by the Hovis adverts in the 1970 s, a museum and the historic Abbey, as well as a great range of independent shops and cafes. Gillingham (5 miles) is also within easy reach and has a mainline train station and choice of supermarkets. Those wishing to travel slightly further afield will enjoy a trip to the Stourhead Estate (11 miles), which is in the care of the National Trust, Longleat Estate (21 miles) , Stonehenge (27 miles) or the Haynes Motor Museum (20 miles). Adjacent to the owners home yet with privacy assured, this characterful stone built barn is accessed via a long, shared drive and across a shared courtyard within this working livery. The entrance door leads into a welcoming entrance hall with space for muddy boots and immediately opposite is a handy utility room with washer/dryer and WC. Heading to the left from the hallway you will find an inviting double bedroom. Next door is a stylish bathroom with a freestanding bath, separate shower and WC. To the right of the hallway is a sociable open plan lounge/kitchen/diner. The kitchen area has a central island and is well equipped with a range style cooker, with gas hob and electric ovens, microwave, American style fridge/freezer and dishwasher. There is space to dine just opposite and a comfortable lounge area with Smart TV. A flight of stairs leads from here to the first floor, where there is a king size bedroom with a door to a Jack and Jill style bathroom with bath and WC. Adjoining the bathroom on the other side is a charming super king size zip and link bedroom, (which can be made into twin on request), with its own staircase to the ground floor. Due to the setting within the eaves there are areas of restricted head height throughout the first floor, which only adds to its character and charm. Heading outside via doors from the lounge area you will find an enclosed garden with lovely countryside views as well as a patio, gas BBQ, furniture and lawn. To the side of the property is ample off road parking space. Dogs are charged at 20 each per full or part week.
