A FOUR-bedroom house brimming with rustic charm and situated in the countryside is up for sale.
Estate agent company Savills is currently selling a luxury home in the heart of the countryside in Swanage.
Described as a ‘unique and historic converted barn’, this home could be a millionaire's dream.
The house in Southcliffe Road is currently on the market for £1,875,000.
A spokesperson for Savills said: “ South Barn is a unique stone house which was remodelled in 1927 by the renowned architect Percy Morley Horder.
“Having handsome elevations of the local Purbeck stone enhanced by stone mullioned leaded windows, the house offers well-proportioned accommodation with a wealth of character features.
“Within the grounds is an excellent one-bedroom guest cottage with a studio beneath, perfect for family use or to provide a valuable income.
“Most rooms in the house enjoy delightful open aspects across the garden towards the Country Park beyond.
“The property is approached along a quiet and private unmade lane. Twin pairs of timber entrance gates open into a driveway providing parking for a good number of cars.
“South Barn is set in beautiful gardens that wrap around the house. An impressive wisteria surrounds the front door with a profusion of flowers when in season.
“Extensive use has been made of the local Purbeck stone for the terraces, garden walls, dry stone walls, and a charming folly/ summerhouse.
“There is a sunny and totally secluded walled garden with a large terrace perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining.
“The gardens are mainly lawned, with mature shrubs, trees, and established hedges. There are several further terraces and areas from which to enjoy the garden at different times of the day.
"The property is approached along a quiet and private unmade lane. Twin pairs of timber entrance gates open into a driveway providing parking for a good number of cars."
Swanage is around a mile away and can be reached on foot by road or along part of the coastal path.
