A charming barn conversion blending space, light, and countryside calm in the tranquil village of Gussage St Michael. Generous rooms, French doors, and a sunlit conservatory create effortless indoor-outdoor living, while upstairs, airy bedrooms promise peace and privacy.
Set in the quiet village of GUSSAGE SAINT MICHAEL, this detached barn conversion sits within a generous garden bordered by open countryside. The setting is peaceful and rural, with a sense of space and privacy that defines life in this part of Dorset. The house includes a double garage and ample parking, and its scale and layout make it a rare find in such a quiet location.
Inside, the accommodation is substantial, with a layout that suits both family life and entertaining. The SITTING ROOM is a generous space with fireplace and French doors opening directly to the garden, creating an easy connection between house and its surrounds. The DINING ROOM is ideally situated, and is large enough to accommodate both everyday meals and larger gatherings, with double doors opening out to the garden. The KITCHEN is positioned alongside, with plenty of room to plan a more contemporary arrangement combining cooking, dining, and informal seating, and is repleat with worktop and storage units, with space for a range of white goods. A practical UTILITY ROOM provides additional storage and workspace, and there is a separate W.C. for convenience. To the rear, the CONSERVATORY offers a relaxed space to sit and look out over the garden, bringing light into the house and adding versatility to the ground floor.
Upstairs, the PRINCIPAL BEDROOM boasts its own DRESSING ROOM and EN SUITE, with scope to create an elegant and private main suite. The remaining BEDROOMS are all comfortable doubles, each with open rural views that give the upper floor a calm, airy feel. The FAMILY BATHROOM completes the accommodation and provides generous space for updating in line with the rest of the house. The rooms throughout are well proportioned and naturally light, combining a sense of scale with the comfort of a traditional farmhouse. It is a house that can be adapted and refined to suit many ways of living, while retaining its strong architectural character.
The GARDEN is a notable feature of the property, enclosed and mature, with wide lawns edged by established trees and shrubs. A paved terrace runs along the rear of the house, providing an ideal spot for outdoor dining or quiet evenings overlooking the surrounding countryside. The DOUBLE GARAGE offers secure parking, and there is an additional SHED and WORKSHOP, with further parking on the gravel drive. The overall setting is private and peaceful, framed by the gentle landscape of the Gussage valley — a true Dorset farmhouse with substance, character, and a wonderful sense of place.
Tucked away in the rolling landscape of Cranborne Chase, Gussage Saint Michael is a peaceful Dorset village surrounded by open countryside. Though small and unspoilt, it has a strong sense of community and sits within easy reach of the nearby market towns of Blandford Forum and Wimborne. Quiet lanes, big skies, and rural charm define everyday life here. For a broader range of facilities, Salisbury, and Poole are all within comfortable driving distance. Salisbury provides a direct rail link to London Waterloo, while Wimborne offers a lively town centre with shops, cafés, and restaurants.
The surrounding Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty offers superb walking, cycling, and riding. Golf is available at Rushmore and Remedy Oak, and within half an hour you can reach Poole Harbour or Studland Bay for sailing, paddleboarding, or the beaches of the Jurassic Coast.
The area is well served for schools, with local primaries in Witchampton, Cranborne, and Wimborne St Giles, and secondary options in Blandford, Cranborne, and Wimborne. Independent schools include Canford, Bryanston, Milton Abbey, and Clayesmore, with preparatory schools such as Hanford, Sandroyd, Dumpton, and Castle Court all nearby.
