5 Bedroom house – Semi Detached with Annexe. Converted barn situated in the village of Charminster, just two miles north of Dorchester. Nestled within generous grounds, the property offers a blend of traditional character and modern convenience. With four/five spacious bedrooms, two reception rooms, a conservatory, and a large loft room, the home provides versatile living spaces.

The property features a newly fitted kitchen and utility room both with underfloor heating. The lounge, with its dual-aspect full-length windows and wood-burner, connects seamlessly to the conservatory via bi-folding doors, offering stunning garden views. The second reception room/bedroom 5 boasts exposed wooden beams and an electric fire, adding to the home’s charm.

The main bedroom includes an en-suite with a walk-in shower and vanity unit, while the other bedrooms are equally well-proportioned, one with a fitted wardrobe. The expansive loft room presents excellent potential for conversion into a principal suite or playroom and includes an office area.

The beautifully landscaped garden extends to the bank of the River Cerne and includes a heated swimming pool, pool house with shower facilities, vegetable patch, walk-in fruit cage and a large lawn. Mature borders with shrubs and trees provide privacy and attract wildlife.

The property benefits from a detached self contained annexe accessed via a sweeping gravel driveway, run as a successful holiday let.

Additional features include an air source heat pump and solar panels, which can also heat the swimming pool, and mains electricity, water, and drainage.

Charminster itself is a picturesque village steeped in history, offering amenities such as a primary school, pubs, and village halls. The village is connected by a regular bus service to Dorchester, which provides rail links to London Waterloo and Bristol Temple Meads.

With its idyllic setting and extensive features, Long Barn represents an outstanding opportunity.
