Situated down a quiet lane in a rural setting, this stunning detached barn has been restored to the highest standards and boasts far reaching countryside views. Nestling in 800 acres of Dorset farmland, this superb property offers fantastic rural walks from the doorstep and the quaint, historic village of Yetminster is just one mile away along the country lanes, which offers a pub, shop and local café. The perfect base for exploring this idyllic part of the county, the local area boasts a wealth of pretty villages, sandy beaches and World Heritage status coastline along the Jurassic Coast. For a spot of retail therapy, the picturesque towns of Sherborne and Dorchester are both within easy reach, while culture lovers should head for one of the many nearby National Trust properties and grounds.
