Key information
Property description & features
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.
Knowlton Bank is the other half of the large barn conversions in New Barn Farm Courtyard. This attractive, traditional barn is Grade II listed, with red brick elevations under a clay tiled roof. The property has been skilfully converted to provide a generous and well-arranged family home and as with all the properties at the farm, is presented in excellent condition throughout.
Typical with these kinds of properties, the former entrance to what would have been a threshing barn now forms the main entrance with double height windows, flooding the property with light. As you enter into the reception hall, this creates the most magnificent space, which is a full height, galleried room with stone floor and provides an impressive welcome to the house. Double doors at the back open out into the garden and provide wonderful views.
The living room, which is off the hall, is a generous reception room featuring a large inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove. On the opposite side of the reception hall a corridor leads through to the kitchen and dining room which features a range oven, well fitted kitchen with granite work tops and a butler's sink. A side door leads into the carport. Along the corridor you will also find the study, utility room and downstairs W/C.
Upstairs, the master bedroom suite is an impressive room, with a vaulted ceiling, plenty of built in storage, separate bath in the bedroom and ensuite wet room. There are three further double bedrooms, two of which have double height built in cupboards, and family bath and shower room.
To the front of the house is the courtyard which is an immaculately kept space. There is a good driveway with parking for numerous cars and a double car port to the side. The garden, at the rear of the house is an attractive space, with a large terrace area accessible from the reception hall, living room and utility room, ideal for outdoor entertaining. The rest of the garden is laid to lawn with well stocked borders, featuring numerous grasses, as well as a decking area at the end of the garden which takes in the far reaching country views.
The property has oil fired, underfloor heating, mains water and private drainage, which is a shared sewage treatment plant.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
