About the home
This semi detached barn conversion located on the edge of Charminster village is under two miles from the historic town of Dorchester. This cottage is adjacent to a smallholding with breeding hens, goats, rheas and Christmas trees, and very close by is a free range chicken farm, plus eggs are available to purchase on site. Decorated and furnished to a very high standard, this property boasts a stylist mix of period features and modern amenities such as original beams and three en-suite bedrooms. This well-equipped cottage is set in an excellent position and makes an ideal base from which to explore Dorset and Wessex. There are a number of local footpaths to discover whilst the village itself is perfectly positioned for taking advantage of the superb surrounding countryside and walks.

The Dorchester area
Set in the valley of the River Cerne, the scattered community of Charminster is surrounded by glorious, unspoiled countryside and is served by a shop and pub – though for more specialist amenities the town of Dorchester is just a mile and a half away. Packed with Roman roads, museums and a wide selection of pubs and restaurants, Dorchester is well worth visiting. Other local attractions include Maiden Castle, the largest hill fort in England, and visit the County Museum, which has a room devoted to Thomas Hardy, the author of 'Tess of the D'Urbervilles’, born just two miles away in Bockhampton. Also within easy driving distance are the glorious beaches and picturesque harbour of Weymouth, as well as the rugged peninsula of Portland linked to the mainland by Chesil Beach and part of the breathtaking World Heritage Coastline.
