Summary - IVY BARN COTTAGE BUCKLAND NEWTON DORCHESTER DT2 7DB
3 bed 1 bath Barn Conversion
Peaceful country home with balcony views and nearby footpaths.
Three double bedrooms with rural outlooks
Ivy Barn Cottage is a three-bedroom barn conversion set in a peaceful hamlet close to village amenities and countryside walks. The house retains character features such as exposed beams and a wood burner, and the conservatory and balcony deliver open rural views and easy access to the garden. The layout suits family life with two reception rooms, a separate kitchen and a ground-floor cloakroom.
The enclosed, sunny garden is low-maintenance but currently needs some attention to fully realise its potential; a decked seating area and log store are already in place. Practical benefits include a garage in a block opposite, off-street parking for two cars and a new oil boiler installed in 2021. Mains water is supplied via the farm which can reduce bills, and the location gives direct access to public footpaths and local primary schooling.
Buyers should note the property’s material considerations: the energy efficiency rating is F, heating is oil-fired and the property uses shared septic tank drainage. The barn was converted decades ago and has solid brick walls (likely uninsulated), so buyers seeking maximum efficiency or modern systems may want to budget for upgrades.
Overall this is a comfortable, characterful home for a small family or someone seeking a lock-up-and-leave countryside retreat. It is offered freehold with no onward chain, and its setting and practical parking make it especially appealing for buyers prioritising rural life with good local connections.
