The hamlet of Sedgehill is ideal for those seeking a peaceful base. Just 5 miles away is the historic town of Shaftesbury, which boasts the famous Gold Hill with its chocolate-box cottages. The town offers a good selection of shops and eateries, perfect for a relaxed stop after a day of exploring. Visitors interested in the area’s Saxon heritage will enjoy exploring the town museum and the atmospheric abbey ruins. You’ll find a village shop and pub in nearby Semley (2 miles), as well as an antiques centre. The village of Motcombe is 2.5 miles away and is another good stop for a pint of milk or a visit to the pub. Within 25 miles, you’ll also find a wealth of popular attractions, including Stonehenge, Longleat House and Safari Park, Stourhead House and Gardens, Haynes Motor Museum, and the cathedral cities of Salisbury and Bath.
This converted former barn forms part of a historic farm, having been sympathetically reinvented into stylish dwellings. A shared drive leads to the barn, which has an area of hardstanding to the front and a private entrance door leading into a welcoming hallway. Once inside, you’ll find space to hang coats and leave muddy boots, before heading along the hall to the separate WC or useful utility room with a washer/dryer next door. To the left of the entrance is the stylish kitchen/diner, which has both a view of the beautifully landscaped garden and one aspect of the dual-sided wood burner. The U-shaped kitchen, newly fitted in 2026, has all you need to create delicious meals. Leading on from this room is the lounge, which has a striking vaulted ceiling that really showcases the heritage of the building, as well as a view of the wood burner, Smart TV, and doors to the garden. Completing the ground floor accommodation is the first of three individually designed super-king-size bedrooms. This one can be arranged as a twin on request and has its own en-suite shower room with WC. Heading up the oak staircase to the first floor, you’ll pass a desk space, great for attending to the odd email, before coming to the two bedrooms set into the eaves of the building. Both super-king-size, one boasts an en-suite bathroom and the other a shower room. These rooms have original roof timbers and sloping ceilings in some areas, adding to the character and charm of the property. All the bedrooms have a Smart TV, and the beds are dressed in White Company linens.
Heading outside via the lounge, you can enjoy the professionally landscaped gardens, featuring borders filled with flowering plants and a patio with furniture, ideal for a sundowner or your morning coffee. There is ample parking in front of the property.
