Description
This exceptional property in rural Dorset offers a unique opportunity to create a substantial additional residence on a vast 41-acre plot. The existing four-bedroom barn conversion boasts characterful features like vaulted ceilings, exposed timber A-frames, and brick walls. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and family room is perfect for modern living and entertaining, while the separate sitting room with a wood-burning stove provides a cozy retreat. The property also features a principal bedroom with en-suite, three further bedrooms, a family bathroom, cloakroom, and a utility/plant room. The real standout feature is its development potential, with an existing metal barn that can be converted into three houses or replaced with a dwelling of real scale and presence. The proposed plans suggest a multi-generational set-up, a second home for investment or income, or a dream residence alongside the existing conversion. The property also offers endless opportunities for equestrian use, smallholding, or simply enjoying open space and privacy. With plentiful parking, potential for stables/garaging/home office, and separate access to the fields, this is an extraordinary chance to enjoy Dorset country living while unlocking the potential of a sizeable development opportunity.
