Rebuilt in 1978 on the site of the original barn, The Old Barn is constructed of attractive brick under a clay tile roof in a quiet position in the centre of this popular village. The accommodation is both versatile and adaptable with nicely proportioned rooms with a well equipped kitchen and three/four bedrooms. In addition the outbuilding (The Piggery), has planning consent (ref; 2/2019/1157/FUL) for conversion into an annexe for ancillary accommodation, which significantly enhances the scope of the property. Attributes worthy of a particular mention include the open fireplace in the sitting room with inset wood burner, the quiet position and lovely outlook over Hambledon Hill.
The Old Barn is approached via a gravelled driveway from Shroton Cross through timber gates onto a tarmac drive with car parking area. Adjoining this is a car port and the outbuilding, which has planning consent for conversion into an annexe. The garden lies primarily to the front of the property, is to lawn and surrounded by yew hedging and closeboarded fencing.
Shroton lies midway between Shaftesbury and Blandford Forum. It is a pretty and popular village with highly regarded pub, The Cricketers, a large village green and a children’s playground. The neighbouring village of Iwerne Minster has a good range of everyday facilities, including an excellent post office/village store, a pub, a children’s playground and a sports centre at Clayesmore School. For a wider range of facilities there is the Saxon hilltop town of Shaftesbury to the north, and the Georgian town of Blandford Forum to the south. Both Blandford Forum and Shaftesbury have a wide range of shops including supermarkets, delicatessens, cafes, doctors and dental surgeries, libraries, an arts centre, veterinary surgeries, small hospitals and secondary schools. There are mainline railway stations in both Tisbury and Gillingham (London Waterloo) and the A303 lies some 13 miles to the north giving access to the south west and London, via the M3.
