This bright and airy property is one of two barns set around a pretty courtyard, which is adjacent to the owner’s 17th Century farmhouse, once part of the Stourhead estate. Set within a 50 acre sheep farm on the Dorset//Somerset and Wiltshire borders, there are endless walks, cycle routes and flora and fauna to explore around the property, where you may also spot some of the owners horses. The barn is ideally situated for touring, being only a stone’s throw from Longleat House, Center Park and Safari Park, The Stourhead Estate and Stonehenge. The picturesque towns of Shaftesbury, Mere, Wincanton and Bruton are also within easy reach and offer a good selection of pubs, cafes and boutique shops.

On entering this single storey detached barn you are met by a spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. The stylish kitchen area is well-equipped with an electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, and microwave. The lounge space offers a TV and DVD, making this the perfect place to relax and unwind after a day spent exploring this picturesque area. To the left of the lounge is a double bedroom, which overlooks the pretty courtyard. Heading back through the kitchen you will find the contemporary bathroom, which has a shower over bath and WC. There is also a bright and airy twin bedroom.

Outside you will find a small open terrace with garden furniture and climbing roses, plus a gravel courtyard and patio with garden furniture, the perfect spot to relax and unwind. There is off-road parking for one car adjacent to the property. Across the yard, you can find further areas to sit and relax, there is an enclosed paddock, the perfect area for the pooches. Leisurely walks can be taken through the owner’s land, with beautiful views across open countryside down to the summerhouse by the lake, where you can partake in a spot of fishing.
