Discover the charm of this skillfully transformed former farm building, now a stand-out holiday home designed for family or friends to gather on the Dorset Coast. The agricultural heritage of the exterior hides a light-filled contemporary interior living space with lofty, double-height ceilings and plenty of room to relax and unwind.

Inside, enjoy natural wood and stone flooring, high vaulted ceilings, and captivating picture windows framing views stretching out to Chesil Beach. The open-plan living space features carefully selected artwork, comfortable sofas, a dining area with a table and chairs for ten, and a kitchen featuring a central island and all the modern conveniences needed to whip up a culinary feast. French doors from the living room effortlessly extend the space to the patio area. Each of the four bedrooms enjoys the luxury of its own dedicated bathroom. The ground-floor double bedroom features an accessible shower room across the hallway, while another bedroom with twin beds and a set of bunk beds has an en-suite bathroom. The first floor hosts a double bedroom with a bathroom featuring a shower over the bath across the hallway, and the king-size bedroom comes complete with an en-suite shower room. The south-facing garden beckons with a patio area, outdoor seating, and a BBQ for al fresco dining. A fenced-off lawn area adds a touch of privacy, while loungers facing the sea invite you to unwind and soak in the breathtaking surroundings.

Nestled on a working arable farm just beyond the picturesque thatched cottages of Langton Herring, immerse yourself in rural life with the local village pub a convenient 200 metres away. The coastal charm of Weymouth (6 miles) promises traditional seaside fun with its sandy beach, picturesque harbour, and a vibrant array of independent restaurants, coffee shops, and galleries to explore. Alternatively, embark on wonderful walks along the South West Coast Path towards hidden coves and dramatic seascapes, 1 mile from home.

The kitchen is well-equipped and the rooms are comfortable.

Situated in a quiet, tranquil location. We had a peaceful, restful stay. The property was warm and bright due to its South facing aspect. Our family of 7 adults and two babies fitted in the spacious property where all our needs were catered for. There were plenty of lovely pubs to eat in which were easy to get to. The Elm Tree Inn and the KingRead mores Arms, the latter in Portesham, had great service and outstanding food. Weymouth and Bridport kept us busy, in fact we needed a longer stay. Highly recommend.

Lovely stay, gorgeous views & lots of nice walks. We enjoyed our visits to the WW2 museum & Tout Quarry in Portland and swimming in Durdle Door. Not sure if they are house martins in the nest or swifts, but lovely to see them! Saw a small deer in the field, pheasants & hares. Thank you. P.S. There are big pebbles at Lulworth Cove, if you visit takeRead more proper shoes! And thanks so much for the welcome pack! Hide

Family get-together. Lovely location and beautiful house (nostalgia of childhood holidays in Dorset)

Reviewed by Anonymous 8th July 2022

Wans Barton is stunning. Fantastic venue for a family get-together, and glorious weather all week. We too have seen partridges, wagtails, hare, rabbits, skylarks, and the wonderful 5 juvenile swallows and their parents who came back every night and squeeze into their nest. Special request: Please leave their nest there so they can return to it nextRead more year. Like the swallows, we could love to come back! Hide

Perfect location for a family reunion and celebration! Lovely house, with a wonderful view and a great location. Kids loved it!

We have enjoyed staying at Wans Barton - weather has been glorious so we've eaten Alfresco. Had 2 pairs of partidges, 1 pheasant, 1 hare, 1 wagttail, and a family of housemartins as neighbours. The ground floor facilities made it so much easier. Beautiful views and central to visiting places - could move in really! Cheers
