One-Off Feature
An ideal base for touring, this charming property has a private garden, stylish interior, is within easy reach of the village centre, and has countryside surrounds with access to the River Stour.
General Info
This property is set at the end of a narrow country lane and is adjacent to a similar property and the owners home, although privacy is assured. The peaceful rural setting is the ideal base for those wishing to walk, perhaps beside the River Stour or around the ramparts of the nearby Iron Age hillfort at Hod Hill. The village of Durweston has a local shop and if you take a stroll along the trailway there is a popular pub in the next village. Head 3 miles south to Blandford Forum, this Georgian market town has a good selection of traditional shops as well as a brewery, complete with tap and shop. Within 9 miles are many attractions including Fiddleford Manor, Sturminster Newton Mill, Kingston Lacy, and Shaftesbury. A private entrance door leads into this detached property, where you will be met with a striking open plan living space with a vaulted ceiling and original beams. This light and bright room has doors on three sides, adding to its airy feel, and is cleverly designed to create a sociable yet cosy space. To the rear is a contemporary kitchen, which is equipped with an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher. There is space to dine just opposite and a comfortable lounge area with Smart TV. A double bedroom is accessible from this space and has a stylish shower room with WC next door. A staircase rises to the first floor and there s a second double bedroom on a mezzanine level. Due to its setting within the eaves, there are areas of restricted head height, in particular above the bed, which adds to its character and charm. Outside, there is a paved area directly beside the barn, with furniture and a charcoal BBQ, making it ideal for outdoor dining or drinks. An area of lawn completes the space, which is enclosed and perfect for a picnic or games. The owner of the property has a private stretch of the River Stour which guests can use to launch canoes if they have them, and fishing is also possible by arrangement with the owner. There is ample parking available.
