A charming barn in a tranquil rural setting 7 miles from the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site. Featuring an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, an enclosed garden and access to a shared games room, the barn is perfect for small families or groups eager to explore cultural, historical and natural attractions across the Dorset AONB and West Dorset Heritage Coast.
The barn sits at the end of a long drive and is one of four properties occupying a small complex surrounded by trees and acres of undulating farmland. The barn’s private entrance leads directly into its open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, an airy, welcoming area complete with rustic furnishings peppered about solid wooden flooring. Foodies will be in their element in the galley kitchen, with indulgent family favourites ready to be enjoyed only a few metres away. Elsewhere, the comfortable sofas around the wood burner will be the second home for gaming, podcast marathons and evening films. Three cosy bedrooms - a double, a twin and a single - dominate the first floor and stand close to a spacious family bathroom. Doors in the lounge lead out into an enclosed garden split between a patio and a lawn area, an ideal spot for morning coffees and BBQ suppers enjoyed to the sound of nature. A shared games room nearby is perfect for youngsters and competitive parents.
The barn lies just 2 miles from Maiden Newton, a village found along the banks of the River Frome that offers a range of family-friendly pubs and shops. The nature reserves at Hog Cliff, Kingcombe Meadows, Powerstock Common and Vale of Stones (within 6 miles) are great places to unwind. Dorchester (8 miles) is a must for literature and history lovers, while Abbotsbury (12 miles) is one of the most stunning stretches of the Jurassic Coast.
