This substantial Grade II listed barn conversion (3,178 sq ft) blends dramatic period character with contemporary open-plan living — vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and large feature windows create light, flexible spaces for family life. The main room is a striking three-zone area with sitting, dining and a Shaker kitchen, plus a cosy log-burning stove for winter evenings. The house is presented with modern fittings including an air-source heat pump serving underfloor heating and radiators.
Accommodation is arranged over two floors and suits families seeking generous bedroom space and home working: four double bedrooms (three en-suite), a large office/ground-floor bedroom option and a generous utility. The east-facing, level rear garden (approx. 0.16 acres) delivers wide countryside views and evening sunsets; two covered carport spaces and useful outdoor storage add practicality.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status — attractive for character but likely to restrict alterations and may complicate some works or permissions. Council tax is described as quite expensive. Otherwise the home is chain-free and located in a popular Dorset village with a primary school, shop and pub within easy walking distance, and Sherborne’s amenities and rail link a short drive away.
This rare barn is best appreciated in person: it will particularly appeal to families seeking character, space and countryside access while retaining modern energy-efficient heating and plenty of versatile living areas.
