If you are looking for a characterful countryside home in a tranquil, rural location but don’t want to compromise on the comforts of modern luxury living, Pound Barn could be the perfect property for you. Designed and built with local Purbeck stone, this gorgeous home showcases charming design with wooden beams and rafters, and exposed brickwork features. The interiors celebrate the style of the property and the location using local materials and a colour palette inspired by the Purbeck location. Set in approximately 3.14 acres, Pound Barn is approached via a private drive offering tranquillity, seclusion and privacy. First impressions are exceptional – the location is beautiful, surrounded by rolling green fields and the plot itself has been cleverly laid out to frame the home with landscaped gardens and a generous driveway offering parking for many vehicles. A porch opens into the ground floor of the main home where four large reception rooms are arranged around the farmhouse style kitchen. Wooden and stone floors and exposed beams create a welcoming and rustic atmosphere, and the garden room, kitchen and dining room along the rear elevation all offer glazed doors to the garden providing lots of natural light and a seamless connection to the outdoor space. Also on the ground floor are two separate self-contained annex studios. Both offer a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen/living space and benefit from their own private entrance. These provide a fantastic opportunity for multi-generational living or a holiday rental income stream. On the first floor there are four spacious bedrooms. The principal suite is light and airy with a picture window overlooking the garden and countryside beyond and an ensuite shower room. Bedroom two is also a large double bedroom with an ensuite shower room and there are two further double bedrooms and a four-piece suite family bathroom to complete this floor. On the second floor there are two loft rooms that offer useful additional space for home offices, bedrooms, hobby rooms or a playroom. There is also a convenient extra bathroom serving this floor. Outside, the garden is beautiful, laid out to include a deck area, patio, lawns, hedging and mature borders. It is a lovely place to relax or entertain guests and large enough to offer real scope for a keen gardener to let their imagination run wild. Rarely available, this lovely family home represents a wonderful lifestyle opportunity – if you are searching for a rural utopia, this is it.
