Set on a very large plot on a quiet no-through road outside Shaftesbury, Old Wincombe Barn is a substantial barn conversion that balances modern living with rural space. The house offers generous reception rooms, a fitted kitchen with island, four large bedrooms and three bathrooms — including two en‑suites — arranged across a multi‑story layout. Large windows and double‑doors connect living areas directly to the garden and paved patio.
The grounds are the standout feature: a heated swimming pool, landscaped lawns, mature boundary trees, and approximately two acres of paddocks with two stables make this property particularly well suited to families who keep horses or need extensive outdoor space. A large gravel drive, garage and outbuildings provide practical parking and storage for recreational equipment or trailers.
Practical points are clear and factual. The property sits in a hamlet/isolated setting, so local shops and services are not on the doorstep; travel to Shaftesbury is needed for most amenities. The pool and outbuildings will require regular maintenance and running costs. Mobile signal is average despite fast broadband, and the house’s size and rural nature mean utility and upkeep demands are higher than for a standard suburban home.
This home suits buyers seeking privacy, equestrian facilities and flexible living space — a family or hobby‑horse owner who values land and tranquillity over immediate town convenience. Viewings will suit those prepared for upkeep and running costs inherent to a large country property.
