Owner says, “We were looking for a semi rural setting where we could enjoy a sense of seclusion and space, while still being close to the coast. The generous 0.72 acre plot gave us exactly that balance.”
Offered for sale with no forward chain, this beautifully presented detached barn conversion occupies a peaceful position in Coldharbour, on the outskirts of Weymouth. Arranged entirely over one level, the property combines the character and proportions of its former agricultural origins with contemporary comfort, creating a home that feels both individual and easy to live in.
From the moment you step inside, the sense of light and space is immediately apparent. A long HALLWAY runs through the property, with extensive glazing and doors connecting the interior naturally with the gardens outside. The single storey arrangement gives the accommodation an easy flow, while timber detailing throughout provides warmth and complements the character of the building.
At the heart of the home lies the wonderfully spacious open plan KITCHEN and RECEPTION ROOM. This impressive room is undoubtedly the focal point, with a high vaulted ceiling and substantial exposed timbers creating a striking reminder of the property’s stable heritage. Generous south facing windows and glazed double doors bring in an abundance of natural light and provide a lovely connection with the garden.
The RECEPTION AREA offers ample room for comfortable seating alongside a dining table, allowing the space to adapt easily from quiet evenings at home to Sunday lunches and gatherings with family and friends. An elegant electric fireplace provides a welcoming focal point and adds warmth during the cooler months.
Open to the reception space, the KITCHEN is thoughtfully arranged with a range of wall and base units finished with wooden doors, their natural tones sitting comfortably alongside the exposed timber above. Integrated appliances include an electric oven and four ring hob with extractor, while there is also space for freestanding white goods. A generous peninsula provides additional preparation space and creates a natural divide between the kitchen and living areas without interrupting the sociable, open feel. A further door leads directly outside.
Continuing along the HALLWAY are TWO generously proportioned DOUBLE BEDROOMS. Both are comfortably sized for to accommodate associated furniture and windows provide pleasant outlooks towards the front or rear gardens.
Completing the accommodation is the spacious FAMILY BATHROOM which has been designed with relaxation in mind. A freestanding bath provides an inviting place to unwind, complemented by a separate corner shower, wash-hand basin set within a vanity unit and concealed W.C.
Altogether, this is a home with a wonderfully relaxed feel, where exposed timbers, generous proportions and light filled living spaces sit comfortably alongside the ease of single storey living. With the gardens forming a natural extension of the accommodation, it is a setting equally suited to quiet everyday life, entertaining friends or simply enjoying the space and surroundings.
Approached along a shared track, the property is discreetly positioned behind a PRIVATE, providing parking for up to FOUR CARS. Constructed in attractive stone beneath a traditional slate roof, the home blends rural character with modern-day comfort.
The generous wraparound GARDENS is a particular delight, with beautifully maintained lawns, mature trees and a secluded seating area from which to enjoy the far-reaching views.
Offering an appealing sense of peace and privacy, the grounds provide ample opportunity for those wishing to keep animals, cultivate a productive vegetable garden or simply embrace the luxury of substantial outdoor space.
