Situated at the end of a short, no-through lane, The Stone Barn has a sheltered, south-facing position looking out across unspoilt countryside towards Kimmeridge Bay. In addition to being in an AONB fringing the World Heritage accredited Jurassic Coast, much of the village is still part of the beautiful 1,800-acre Smedmore Estate that surrounds it and has been in the same family for the past six centuries. Bought by its current owners in 1987, The Stone Barn was converted over three years from a period stone barn and adjoining stable block. It is believed that the barn was originally built in the late 17th century (the chamfered tie-beams are possibly timbers taken from Corfe Castle after the castle was slighted at the end of the Civil War). The newly converted property, which has a beautiful stone slate roof, was then used as a family holiday home for seventeen years before being used commercially as holiday accommodation until the present day. Arranged in an L-shape around a concrete yard, the former stable block houses a good-sized sitting room and large, adjacent, farmhouse-style kitchen plus two double bedrooms and a shower room on the ground floor, with four further bedrooms and three bathrooms within the roof space. The barn adjoins one end of the stable block and is currently used as a large family-use/entertainment space and has a split level floor, exposed roof timbers and a minstrel's gallery at one end. The barn has double doors on one side that open to the yard and a further set of glazed doors that look out to sea and open out to the garden. The size of the barn/party room, sitting room and kitchen/dining room along with the number of bedrooms (including one very large bedroom, which is ideal as a children's dormitory) make The Stone Barn ideal for multi-family holidays and it has proved to be extremely popular over the years.GardenThe Stone Barn has ample parking space on the yard in front of the barn, where the walls in summer are clad in roses and honeysuckle. There is an additional, single parking space off the passing lane just beyond the barn. At one end of the former stable block is an integral, single garage that opens onto the yard. Close to the barn and just off the edge of the concrete yard is a gravelled outside dining area. Beyond it opens out into the garden, which amounts to about a third of an acre and extends out on the western and southern sides of the barn. To the south is a gently sloping lawn with fantastic views out over the surrounding countryside and out over Kimmeridge Bay. The lawn is flanked on one side by an attractive stream set within a steep-sided gully, whose sides are dotted with several mature, native trees including willow, ash and dogwood along with several fruit trees. On the western side of the barn is a sheltered lawn bound on three sides by tall, stone walling and easily maintained, raised borders.The Stone Barn has an idyllic setting on the edge of the small village of Kimmeridge, which is situated within the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and is just a mile from Kimmeridge Bay. The village has a parish church and village hall and for most day-to-day needs there is an excellent range of local shops, services and amenities in the small town of Wareham, which has a Sainsbury's, the popular Salt Pig farm shop and a farmer's market every Saturday (see and addition, the sizeable towns of Dorchester, Poole and Bournemouth are all within easy driving distance. For travel links the A351 running through Corfe Castle is just 2 miles away, there is a direct rail service from Wareham train station to Waterloo (2.5 hours) and the airports at Bournemouth and Southampton are both relatively close by. The local area is also blessed with a wide choice of schools from both the state and independent sectors including Canford, Sunninghill, Milton Abbey, Bryanston and Knighton House, which are all within a 20-mile radius.Church Knowle 3 miles Corfe Castle 4.5 miles Wareham 6.5 miles (Waterloo 2.5 hours) Poole 15 miles Dorchester 22.5 miles Bournemouth Airport 24.5 miles Southampton Airport 50 miles (Distances and time approximate) For more details and to contact: https://realtyww.info/houses_wareham-d197319/for-sale_i71367388

The Particulars The Farmhouse The main farmhouse boasts an elegant, timeless double fronted facade that exudes a certain poise and presence befitting of the early Victorian date of construction.

Exceptional care has been taken to maintain the intrinsic character and heritage features, including moulded cornicing, original sandstone fireplaces (some dating back to the 1840s) and original blue lias stone floors. The home perfectly balances modern convenience and versatility within a traditional period farmhouse. To the ground floor, a central entrance hall links to a double aspect drawing room to one side and a dining room to the other.

At ground level you will find a brilliantly sized yacht room/lounge with patio doors to your own private sun terrace and direct access to the water (great for loading up ahead of a day on the boat). A shower room with WC and utility room keep unsightly white goods out of the way and complete this level. All sun terraces are externally connected by a spiral staircase, so guests can easily retreat to their own space after a day on the water and reappear in time for an aperitif! Level two is your main entertaining space with stunning views towards the harbour and Christchurch Priory; reminders that you live in one of the area's most coveted developments. The large luxury kitchen area includes plenty of worktop space and a breakfast bar positioned perfectly as a lookout through the dining area and lounge to another sun terrace.Four large bedrooms are spread across another two floors, all offering en-suite and their own views of the surrounding beauty. Bedrooms on the top floor boast commanding vaulted ceilings with characterful beams, adding to the sense of space and opulence. We are particularly fond of the characterful top-floor window, perfectly framing the Priory in all of its glory. Each bedroom is comfortably large enough to be the master, with the option of even offering guests their own floor by using a bedroom as a lounge area.The property features incredible light without becoming overly hot thanks to its southerly exposure and dual aspect views. With plenty of space to spread out throughout the day, Priory Quay becomes cosy of an evening - the perfect location to entertain friends and family year-round.The Priory Quay development is well-managed with a very healthy sinking fund, regular scheduled maintenance and impressive marina.
