Grade II Listed, Riverside Barn In Dorset Village
Contemporary former byre beside the River Allen within the Cranborne Chase National Landscape. A tranquil open plan home for holidays on the outskirts of an historic Dorset village, close to the Wiltshire border.
The open-plan living space offers is light and welcoming with a well equipped kitchen - perfect to nurture and reconnect with family and friends. There are three spacious bedrooms, each with a bath or shower room. Locally crafted natural toiletries with botanical essences are provided. The perfect remedy to ease you into a blissful sleep, especially after a day of discovery across the miles of footpaths and bridleways that can be found a few steps from the door.
We think you will love the AGA baked welcome hamper to include freshly made sourdough and Dorset Apple Cake. There will also be half a dozen eggs from the rare breed hens that wander the garden.
This modern home with underfloor heating is a countryside retreat just a few steps from the Hardy Way, offering the chance to explore hidden Dorset. Reserve a day fly fishing and spend the evenings stargazing.
Or, hone your baking skills and reserve personalised tuition in the award-winning cookery school set in the adjoining farmhouse beyond walled garden. If you need to keep in touch with the office whilst you are away, the designated work space will be useful.
