House For Sale £750,000
The Barn is Grade ll listed and is located to the western fringe of the village, well away from the valley road and within a Conservation Area. It was thoughtfully converted in the mid 1990’s and more recently refurbished including the use of natural oak to the upper floors and a corridor length hanging space with plank and muntin walling concealing cupboard space. The interior is stylish, light and airy, making the most of original features of the building. Set across the gravelled courtyard is the converted stable block providing parking, workshop and an annexe capable of providing independent guest accommodation (one bedroom was formerly a living room/kitchen), a dependent relative or other uses (planning consent for other uses maybe required).
Garden
The Barn is approached off Church lane through a pair of timber gates with brick gate piers. The gravelled parking and turning area lies between the barn and outbuildings. The garden surrounds the barn principally on three sides and is walled. There are a number of stocked borders and a custom designed trellis screening the oil tank. The garden continues to the northern gable with an area of lawn bounded by borders and a pretty view towards the Church tower. A wrought iron wicket gate leads to the front (east) garden, enclosed by stone walling with further lawn and a path from the front door down to an archway within the wall with gated pedestrian access to the lane.
About 0.2 acre (0.08 ha).
The Barn is situated within a walled garden, approached via a no through lane in this popular village which lies in the glorious Piddle Valley about 7 miles north of Dorchester. Within the village is a modern first school, general store/sub post office, two public houses, village hall and an active community. There is direct access to the wonderful network of footpaths and bridleways which cross the surrounding countryside. There are excellent shops and schools in Dorchester and the Abbey town of Sherborne, both towns have mainline railway stations to London Waterloo. The World Heritage Jurassic Coastline is about 1/2 hour drive and offers a wide range of sailing, water sports and sea fishing opportunities. There are golf courses at Dorchester, Yeovil and Sherborne. Racing at Wincanton, Salisbury, Exeter, Bath and Taunton.<br/><br/>
