This modern barn conversion is an ideal base for a Dorset family getaway – four-legged friends included. Set on a working farm in Sherborne, there’s so much to love about this home, from the hot tub in the enclosed garden to the wood burner, country kitchen and games room. So, while you can easily occupy your days at home, the local area is worth exploring too. A trip into Sherborne promises fun for all the family with shops, eateries, the Abbey and castles to explore – or for jaunts further afield, hop in the car for a short drive to the Dorset Heritage Coast.

About Dorset
If you want to immerse yourself in the England of yesteryear, a trip to the county of Dorset is a good place to start. The author Thomas Hardy seemed to concur – he drew heavily on his experience growing up around these parts to create the fictionalised rural idyll of Wessex that was the setting for many of his books.
