This beautifully converted single-storey barn sits at the heart of the village of Coombe Keynes, just 3.5 miles from the Dorset coastline. Dating back to 1740, the Grade II listed building retains plenty of original charm through exposed stonework, a large inglenook fireplace and barn windows.

The dual aspect lounge is a fantastic room for spending time with loved ones. For the evenings, cosy leather sofas surround a large inglenook fireplace with wood burner. There is also a Smart TV and music system, while a separate seating area beyond occupies a sunny spot beside French doors to the garden. With wooden flooring, a farmhouse table, exposed beams and shaker-style units, the kitchen/diner is traditional and homely and opens onto the garden, it also boasts a Smart TV. Outside, al fresco dining furniture and sun loungers can be found, there is a patio area and a large lawn bordered by colourful beds, perfect for long summer BBQs with family and the four-legged friend. There is parking for two cars.
