About this property
This well-presented detached studio barn conversion is tucked away in the grounds of the owner's period cottage, with geese and chickens as your neighbours, in a rural location on the edge of the North Dorset village of Shillingstone. This cosy single-storey cottage is comfortably furnished and well equipped, including a warming woodburning stove, making this an ideal romantic retreat. The cottage offers open plan studio-style living, dining and sleeping areas creating a light and airy interior, with a separate kitchen and shower room. Outside, the private patio area provides a great place to unwind after your day's exploring. From this romantic cottage you can gently stroll the well-marked village footpaths, then sample real ales at the local pub or take a trip to the fascinating towns of Shaftesbury and Sherborne, both offering a wealth of quaint shops, and plenty of places to eat out. Alternatively, a visit to Dorset's scenic Jurassic Coast, an easy drive, is not to be missed. A superb, cosy, romantic cottage offering a year-round holiday base.
The village of Shillingstone is beside the River Stour, a short drive from the market town of Blandford Forum. Locally there are well marked footpaths with a local.
