Set in the peaceful village of Woodfalls, this beautiful barn conversion makes a great base for friends and families exploring Wiltshire and the New Forest. Rural walks start from the doorstep, with the property sitting between the New Forest National Park and Cranborne Chase National Landscape. It’s an easy-going setting for spending time together outdoors, with plenty of countryside to discover on foot. Head to Downton (2 miles), where traditional pubs, independent shops and cafes make it a pleasant spot for a wander and lunch. Salisbury (8 miles) is another worthwhile destination, with medieval streets, independent shops and its impressive cathedral. Families can take a trip to Paultons Park and Peppa Pig World for a fun-filled day out, or visit a multitude of National Trust properties, all with 15 miles. For a day of adventure, visit Longleat Safari Park (32 miles) or Marwell Zoo (25 miles).
This wonderful home blends original charm with contemporary comforts, retaining exposed beams and vaulted ceilings throughout. At its heart is a generous country-style kitchen, fitted with bespoke hand-painted units, a range-style cooker and a central island, all complemented by distinctive pendant lights crafted from old milk churns. There is room to cook together, with the separate dining room providing a welcoming setting for long meals around the table. The comfortable lounge is furnished with plush sofas and centred around a wood burner, creating an inviting spot after a day of discovery. Gather for a film, challenge each other to a board game or browse the collection of books for some quieter downtime. Two bedrooms are also on the ground floor, comprising one double and one twin, with a family bathroom alongside featuring a shower over the bath. A useful utility area with a washing machine, as well as a separate WC, adds to the practical touches. Upstairs, the king-size bedroom makes the most of the cottage’s character, with exposed timbers and a vaulted ceiling adding to its appeal. The room also has its own en-suite wet room, offering a private space away from the rest of the accommodation.
The enclosed, south-facing garden combines a lawn and patio furnished with outdoor seating and complete with an electric awning. Enjoy morning coffees and al fresco meals when the weather permits. Countryside views stretch beyond the garden, with plenty of fresh air for children and four-legged guests to enjoy. Private off-road parking is provided for two cars, so you can come and go with ease.
