A beautifully presented 3 bedroom barn conversion set on a small stylish courtyard development in the heart of this picturesque Dorset village. Old Manor Farm is a small complex of barn conversions which were carried out in 1985 designed by the architects, Cheshire Robbins, and was an award winning scheme.

As you enter the development via a gravel drive and forecourt, the garaging complex is situated directly opposite the properties which includes a garage and carport. The property comprises, to the first floor, a magnificent sitting room/dining room with a high vaulted ceiling with 'A' frame, double glazed doors to a sun balcony and a fitted kitchen with granite composite worktops. To the ground floor, there are three bedrooms with an en suite bathroom to the main bedroom and a family shower room. There is a nicely enclosed south facing rear garden, which is neatly maintained and the property benefits from replacement UPVC double glazing (fitted approximately 2 years ago) and an oil fired central heating system. There is ample visitor parking.
