Description

A versatile and generously proportioned three-bedroom detached barn conversion (with the option of purchasing land by separate negotiation), quietly positioned on the edge of Milton Abbas. The property combines rural character and charm with a flexible layout and unusually large rooms throughout.

The barn is arranged over two floors and offers approximately 179.7 square metres of internal space. On the ground floor, there is a substantial SITTING ROOM filled with natural light and featuring exposed ceiling beams and stripped wooden floors. This leads through to BEDROOM THREE, which overlooks the garden and could equally serve as a study or home office. On the opposite side of the central staircase is BEDROOM TWO, another large double room, and a generous W.C., which offers scope to incorporate a shower or bath if required.

Upstairs, the layout continues to impress. A vast PRINCIPAL BEDROOM sits to one end of the barn and offers excellent proportions, with ample space for a full suite of furniture. The centrally located BATHROOM is well positioned to serve both this room and the rest of the first floor. To the other side is a striking open-plan KITCHEN / DINING ROOM extending the full length of the barn, with windows on both sides providing a bright triple aspect. The kitchen includes an integrated electric oven with hob, along with space for standard white goods, and there is ample room for a large dining table or the addition of a snug area.

This unique property has been well maintained and offers a solid foundation for anyone looking to create a long-term home. The character and proportions speak for themselves, and the rural setting offers peace and seclusion within easy reach of both Milton Abbas and surrounding villages.

Outside
Outside, the barn is approached via a gravelled driveway that opens into a large parking area with space for multiple vehicles.

The generously sized garden provides a wonderful sense of space and tranquillity, with a patio area ideally positioned for quiet enjoyment, whether for morning coffee or relaxed evenings outdoors with attractive views across open fields, creating a particularly peaceful backdrop, while pedestrian access leads conveniently around to the front of the property.

Altogether, it offers a lovely setting in which to unwind and make the most of this salubrious location, with the rural setting offering peace and seclusion within easy reach of both Milton Abbas and surrounding villages.

This is a rare opportunity to secure a distinctive home in one of Dorset’s most sought-after countryside locations.
