Description

This substantial barn conversion, originally an 1840s dairy barn, offers a unique opportunity for renovation and customization. With over 4500 sq ft of living space spread across two floors, it features character elements such as vaulted ceilings and exposed beams that lend the property charm. The versatile outbuilding presents potential for conversion into an annexe or additional living space, subject to necessary planning approvals. The property is set within approximately 0.6 acres of private gardens and boasts extensive garaging and picturesque views over the surrounding countryside. Located in the tranquil hamlet of Bagber Common, Firefly Barn provides easy access to nearby towns like Stalbridge and Sturminster Newton, which offer essential amenities. Larger towns such as Sherborne and Shaftesbury are also within a short drive, enhancing convenience with access to mainline rail links to Exeter and London Waterloo. Internally, the layout supports flexible use with spacious rooms including a well-equipped kitchen/diner featuring an Aga stove, multiple living areas, and five bedrooms—two of which have en suite facilities. While the home is functional as is, there are ample opportunities to modernize finishes or reconfigure spaces to better suit personal tastes or enhance rental potential in this desirable rural locale.
