Grade II listed 17th century Portland stone barn
conversion for sale in village setting close to Dorchester and fast train links
to London Waterloo.
withdrawn from market |
The Old Barn is a Grade II listed 17th century portland
stone cruciform barn with original 18x7 approx. doors and beams with huge
cathedral ceilings throughout.
With extensive hill and country views in
a village setting only one mile from the heritage Jurassic coast, Chesil beach
and the Abbotsbury swannery is only one mile away approx.
It is known
for its fast rail links with London Waterloo from DORCHESTER or WEYMOUTH.
The village has two duck ponds and is famous for its geese roaming the
streets. It also has a pub, general store, post office, two churches, garage
and the best primary school in the area.
You arrive at the barn down
its driveway into a courtyard area with parking for 4-6 cars (planning has been
granted for a garage if so required) past iron railings and gates through the
heavy wooden front door, into the grand hallway with its oak beams, cathedral
ceiling and minstrel gallery.
On your left is the modern white
cloakroom suite, then right into the ground floor apartment 26' x 20' approx
with en suite shower room, dressing room, that has been designed with all
services in place to be converted into a self contained flat.
Back into
the hall into the kitchen / breakfast room - 16' x 10' approx with its ALNO
Italian floor and wall units in pear, with Ariston brushed stainless steel
hob/fan, dishwasher, eye level double oven, fridge/freezer.
Now into
the stunning lounge 29' x 21' approx with its atrium and its wall to ceiling
windows overlooking the sub tropical stone walled garden, with its waterfall
streams and stocked ponds, which lights up at night and is self watering. This
is the main wheelchair access to the ground floor and parking.
Now up
the grand twisting staircase, to the landing with its window seat looking out
over the hills and village, into the 3-4 bedroom 17' x 10' approx which we use
as our office / music room. But when as a professional designer I designed and
fitted out the barn I wanted this room to be large, but it can go back as the
4th bedroom.
Then into the large family bathroom in white with power
shower; this too can be made en suite with the 2nd bedroom 15' x 14' approx.
All rooms have the cathedral ceilings with lots of beams.
Now
into the magnificent mezzanine dining room for those formal dinners for six.
This looks down on the atrium with its palm trees and tropical planting
overlooking the garden and ponds with the hills up close.
The barn
benefits from 2 to 3 foot thick walls, oil fired central heating,and an N.H.B.C
house warranty.
Well thats all I can say other than you must come
inside to view the quality and expanse of this our OLD BARN, an exceptional
country home. |
