Frome Gazey Barn

About this property

Frome Gazey Barn is a charming house resting in Frampton, Dorset, with a mezzanine double bedroom, a wet room, a woodburning stove, and a furnished courtyard patio. Suited to two guests seeking a Dorset hideaway, this inviting retreat draws you into an open-plan living space where days can unfold at an easy holiday pace. Light the woodburning stove after a walk through the surrounding countryside, settle in with a film on the TV, or open the kitchen cupboards and make the most of the oven, hob, fridge, dishwasher, kettle, and toaster for unhurried meals at the dining table. The washing machine adds practical ease after days spent roaming footpaths or exploring the coast.

Above the living space, the mezzanine double bedroom lends the house a characterful sense of height and separation, while the wet room below, with its walk-in shower and heated towel rail, provides a refreshing place to start or end the day. Outside, the courtyard patio, complete with furniture, is ready for morning coffee, evening drinks, or a brief pause before heading out again. A shop and pub can be found in the wider area, while Frampton places you well for days out across Dorset. In Dorchester, discover Dorset Museum and Art Gallery, wander the riverside walks around Borough Gardens, and explore the Roman Town House for a glimpse of the county’s layered past.

Abbotsbury brings a different pace, with the Subtropical Gardens, St Catherine’s Chapel, and the dramatic sweep of Chesil Beach creating memorable outings for two. Head to Weymouth for its Georgian seafront, harbour walks, and Nothe Fort, pairing sea air with plenty to see. For a simple countryside base with character and thoughtful essentials, choose Frome Gazey Barn.

Frampton is a small Dorset village, situated between Dorchester and Crewkerne. Still very much a rural village, it is surrounded by beautiful Dorset countryside and plenty of lovely walks or cycling routes including the cycle path from Dorchester to Maiden Newton. Although enjoying a lovely rural aspect, Frampton is under 6 miles from the Country town of Dorchester where you can find all the high street amenities you need as well as interesting attractions including, Max Gate, Thomas Hardy’s 19th Century former house, the County Museum, and The Teddy bear Museum. Maiden’s castle, the Roman fort sits on the outskirts and is an enjoyable walk. While you can enjoy an array of bars and restaurants for special occasions. Bridport is within easy reach and has a much-coveted antiques and collectibles market, as well as many independent shops and cafes. A short drive from Bridport is West Bay, the seaside Harbour village, famous for its role in ITV’s Broadchurch series. As well as seeing many of the now famous locations used, be sure to enjoy local fish and chips on the harbourside and ice cream on the seafront.
