Welcome to Barn Cottage, aptly named given its earlier origins as an agricultural barn and now enjoying a delightful setting within a walled garden and offering considerable flexibility with the accommodation having bedrooms on both the ground and first floors.

The ENTRANCE HALL is an inviting space with stairs leading to the first floor and its timber beams a reminder of its former existence. A useful SHOWER ROOM has a contemporary finish with its modern shower cubicle, tiled flooring, and vanity unit including a wash-hand basin and WC. Adjacent, is a further room currently used as a STUDY. Timber flooring leads through to the SITTING ROOM, a delightful room flooded with light and stylishly presented with windows framing the garden view beyond. Offset from this room is a DINING ROOM, where is located a walk-in store with the hot water cylinder, and also a cupboard housing the gas-fired boiler.

The KITCHEN has a range of timber-fronted units in a ‘U’ shaped formation with provides considerable storage, and also space and plumbing for a dishwasher and washing-machine. There is also a range cooker with overhead extractor, and space for a tall fridge/freezer. A tiled floor adds a practical note, as does the door leading directly to the garden.

At the opposite end of the ground floor is the PRINCIPAL BEDROOM with its own DRESSING ROOM: wonderfully bright and spacious and having mirror-fronted built-in wardrobes and dressing table.

From the hallway, stairs rise to the FIRST FLOOR and its exposed ceiling beams add immense character. There are THREE DOUBLE BEDROOMS on this floor, one of which has one wall entirely fitted with built-in storage and further walk-in cupboard. The FAMILY BATHROOM is neatly fitted with a bath, close-coupled WC and wash-hand basin.

Outside
A particular feature of this intriguing home is the walled rear garden: a surprise which will delight any gardener. A paved patio area provides an easy spot for entertaining and the remainder is currently laid to lawn bordered by shrubbery. It is the perfect canvass for the green-fingered! On a practical note, there is also a SINGLE GARAGE.

Location
Quietly situated in this popular village, with countryside walks on your doorstep. The village itself has a strong sense of community with a wide range of facilities including a refurbished public house renowned for its food, village hall, well-regarded first school, and ancient church. The World Heritage coastline lies a short distance away, as does the county town of Dorchester (approx. 4 miles), with mainline London/Waterloo railway station, and considerable amenities.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on November 12, 2022

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on November 12, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
