A light and airy barn conversion, very comfortable and rural, sitting on a hill with views to the south overlooking the Stour valley

You enter into an open-plan sitting/dining room and kitchen with a high vaulted ceiling – a light and spacious room with leather sofas, a wood-burner and plenty of books and games for rainy days. Views soar from French doors opening onto the south-facing garden. A large TV has all its bells and whistles if you want to watch a film. Mostly you'll be outdoors enjoying the beautiful countryside around you – a handy boot room is useful for drying wet kit.

The kitchen is sleek and well-equipped and you're left one or two basics for cooking along with a loaf of bread and some eggs. Bedrooms (one with the view, the other looking over the car park) are both a good size with crisp cotton sheets. Outdoors is a terrace, with lighting at night, a table and chairs and a small barbecue. You can wander the 40 acres of grounds (you'll find a map) including a small lake.

A 20-minute walk over fields will take you to Child Okeford.
