This Grade II Listed four-bedroom barn conversion in Nether Compton combines original 17th-century character with a sympathetic, high-standard refurbishment. The open-plan ground floor features exposed beams, stone and wood floors and a contemporary Howdens kitchen with island — ideal for family living and entertaining. The principal bedroom includes an ensuite; three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom sit on the first floor beneath vaulted, timbered ceilings.
Externally the house sits on a no-through lane with a landscaped garden, paved terrace and gravelled parking area accessed through cast-iron gates. A large, timber-clad barn/garage provides parking for multiple vehicles and extensive storage; it also offers potential for conversion to ancillary accommodation subject to listed-building and planning consents.
Practical points to note: the property is Grade II Listed and lies within a conservation area, which will restrict alterations and can complicate works. Heating is by oil-fired boiler and the house is accessed via a shared lane. Broadband and mobile coverage are average for the area. The sale is chain-free and the setting offers quiet village living within easy reach of Sherborne’s amenities and schools.
