Description
Retire in style to Barton Farm.
This delightful two-bedroom cottage with conservatory, garage and walled garden offers well planned accommodation on one floor and has attractive high ceilings and exposed internal beams. French windows open into the conservatory and then onto the walled garden terrace. It has access leading directly into the back of the garage. There are 2 private garden areas, one to the side and one to the rear
A magnificent 14th century tithe barn, once part of the Benedictine Abbey, is the setting for Barton Farm, where 9 barn conversions and 15 cottages were completed in 1995. There are many beautiful walks, including one along the River Cerne as it flows through the village and on into the meadow belonging to Barton Farm.
Cerne Abbas is a popular and active village set in some of the most beautiful Dorset countryside. It has a general store/post office, three public houses and a doctor’s surgery. The village is almost equidistant between the county town of Dorchester, (7 miles away), and the abbey town of Sherborne, where there are regular train services to London.
