The house is approached along a private road on which there is no through traffic and, in front of the house, there is adequate parking space for up to three cars.
You walk to the house through a beautiful and well-tended garden where there is ample space for children to play in a secure environment. There is a sturdy gate at the entrance to the garden and there is a barbeque available.
On entering the house itself, there is a small porch which is very useful for muddy boots after a long walk across the fields or those sandy sandals from the beach.
You then walk into a large sitting room with a galleried room overlooking it. In the sitting room you will be able to relax in front of the Inglenook wood burner. Alternatively, you can watch the sun go down on a sunny summer's evening.
On the far side of the sitting room is another large lounge which has a TV, video and DVD player. The room is furnished with two settees and an armchair, easily enough to accommodate eight people who want to watch TV, DVD's or just relax reading newspapers or a good book.
At the end of the lounge a door leads to the dining room which provides a wonderful environment for great dinner parties or family meals.
On the other side of the dining room is the lobby leading to the back door and the utility room where there is a washing machine and the central heating boiler. There is also a small downstairs WC at the end of the utility room.
The kitchen is off the main sitting room with views over the beautiful garden. The kitchen has extensive work surfaces, two ovens, a microwave, a breakfast bar and is equipped with all modern appliances and equipment.
From the sitting room, the stairs lead to the first floor on which there are four bedrooms, one galleried. On the left of the landing there is the yellow bedroom with wonderful views across the open Dorset countryside.
On the left of the landing is the main bathroom, which is large and equipped with a bath and handheld shower.
There are three further bedrooms (one galleried) and, out of the four bedrooms, two have double beds and two have twin beds (so four twin beds). The master bedroom is at the far end of the upstairs corridor and it has its own en-suite bathroom equipped with a fabulous, power shower.
Manor Farm Barn is a non-smoking cottage. Please ask about pets.
