In a lovely, very rural location on the edge of the quiet village of Fifehead Magdalen near Shaftesbury and Gillingham, this detached Grade II listed converted barn in local Marnhull stone is set in its own private grounds adjoining the owners’ Grade II listed farmhouse.
This good quality conversion was originally for the owners’ own occupation.
There are splendid uninterrupted views from the living room and garden over Duncliffe Wood, Melbury Beacon and the Blackmore Vale, and many walks straight from your doorstep.
Enter into a spacious hallway with ample storage for coats and boots.
The double bedroom features a ceiling fan and a walk-in wardrobe, also boasting ample storage.
The property has a large, private lawned garden with shrubs and a flower bed, perfect for relaxing in after a day explore.
Shaftesbury, with its famous Gold Hill and character shops, and Sherborne, with its abbeys, castle and restaurants, are delightful places to visit.
There are many attractions within easy driving including Stourhead House and Gardens, Kingston Lacy, a day out at Longleat House and Safari Park, Yeovilton Fleet Air Arm Museum, the Haynes Motor Museum with its fascinating selection of classic cars, racing at Wincanton and Salisbury and Wells with their wonderful cathedrals.
Locally you can enjoy some great country walking or simply relax and wine and dine in some of the local village pubs.
Alternatively just stay in (by the wood burning stove in the winter or out on the patio in the summer) and enjoy this rural idyll.
Come for your honeymoon, wedding anniversary, significant birthday (please tell the owners so they can make it even more special) or a quiet break with your baby, as there is space in the bedroom for you to bring your own cot.

Het ligt op een mooie plek. Prachtig uitzicht vanaf het terras. Landelijk. Geluid van roeken en schapen is hetgeen je hoort.
Het is een plek waar je goed moet kunnen wandelen. Het openbaar vervoer is op 20 minuten lopen afstand. We zijn met de bus geweest en gingen al 20 minuten eerder naar de bushalte en probeerden eerst te liften wat goed lukte.

A lovely place in the wilds of Dorset in a tiny hamlet, the Byre is great for a relaxing getaway from it all break. If you really need it then TV and WiFi works.Our only possible drawback was that the garden is not secure enough to allow our dog out unsupervised
