2 bedroom barn conversion for sale

LOT 5 - The Old Dairy - a charming conversion of the former dairy, into a stunning 2-bedroom cottage with open plan living space. The house features an array of period features and also has good scope to be further expanded into the adjoining 4 bay car port, subject to planning.

New Barn Farm was purchased in June 2015 and consisted of an attractive Grade II listed farmhouse with several derelict barns and an old dairy requiring total re- development. Since this time, the farmhouse and New Barn Farm Courtyard of five residential properties, has been extensively and sympathetically modernised. They are now presented in exceptional condition throughout, combining modern convenience with period charm. The properties enjoy a scenic position in a tranquil countryside location, overlooking farmland.

SITUATION
New Barn Farm is situated in the Hamlet of Knowlton in the civil Parish of Woodlands, Dorset. It is about 6 miles north of the town of Wimborne Minster and about 1 mile south of the village of Wimborne St Giles. The village is home to the Church of the Ascension which is a Grade II listed building, built originally in the 12th century and sits in the middle of Church Henge. Remedy Oak Golf Cub is south of the village.

New Barn Farm sits within the Knowlton South Circle Henge, the largest and possibly earliest of four late neolithic henge monuments in Knowlton. These henges and other prehistoric monuments in Knowlton form one of the most significant prehistoric sites in Britain.

Woodlands parish was established when the hamlets of Baggeridge, Woodlands and Knowlton (the earliest settlement) were detached from Horton in the 19th century. Woodlands village was first recorded in 1244 and was part of the Shaftesbury estate until after the Second World war.

Nearby Wimborne Minster is an enchanting market town, which is rich in character and steeped in history, known as the town of kings, smugglers and ancient legends.

It is an oasis of charm where the old and new softly merge in its meandering ancient streets, open spaces, flower gardens and plethora of shops, cafes and restaurants. Its location on the banks of the rivers Stour and Allen as well as its history, dating to pre-Roman times,
makes it an interesting and picturesque town to visit.

Set between the two rivers, the town is perfectly placed for riverside walks, leisurely cycle rides or a range of activities to allow you to enjoy the great outdoors in the surrounding area - from nature reserves to dog-friendly walking routes, you'll relax and unwind in an instant.

The Old Dairy is located at the end of the courtyard, backing onto the pasture. Currently used as a holiday let, this detached property would be ideal for someone looking to either continue with its current use, or as a delightful country 'bolthole'.

Again, beautifully converted combining high quality modern appliances with traditional features, The Old Dairy is in exceptional condition. The main living space in this property is an open plan kitchen, dining and living room with a quality fitted kitchen, vaulted ceilings with exposed timbers, woodburning stove and double doors opening out onto the charming terrace area.

There are two large double bedrooms in this property, both of which have ensuite shower rooms and built in cupboards. Separate W/C and utility cupboards.

Outside, The Old Dairy also has a large, 4 bay carport, which offers great potential to be incorporated into the existing accommodation, subject to planning permission. There are also three further storage rooms, which were formerly stables.

There is a very pleasant, gravel terrace area accessible from the reception room and one of the bedrooms, which enjoys stunning views across the fields and surrounding countryside.

Electric underfloor heating, mains water and private drainage, which is a shared sewage treatment plant.
