An extremely versatile detached family house with over 3300 sq ft of accommodation and lovely west facing garden in a peaceful rural location with fine views over fields.
Firefly Barn is a spacious detached house believed to have been converted in the 1990s from an original 1840s dairy barn. The house offers superb internal accommodation of over 3300 sq ft and retains many original character features such as exposed beams and timbers and stone floors. The large hall is open to full height with flagstone floor and could work very well as a dining hall, the sitting room is a stunning room with an open fire, exposed ceiling beams and a dual aspect. The kitchen / dining room at nearly 30' is a wonderful room with underfloor heating at the garden end, an Aga and bi-fold doors opening out to the lovely garden and terrace as well as making the most of the fantastic views over the neighbouring fields and enjoying superb sunsets. Off the hall is a study and garden room and there are two large double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
On the first floor there is a galleried landing with ample storage, bedroom 4, and a dual aspect 20' master bedroom with fantastic far-reaching views and sumptuous ensuite bathroom.
Beyond the kitchen there is a utility / laundry room and cloakroom. A spiral staircase leads to bedroom 5 with an ensuite shower room.
Outside a separate detached barn comprises a double car port, garage/work shop and mower shed. Stairs from the garage lead to a 30' first floor, currently excellent storage but with tremendous potential for additional accommodation or home office, subject to any necessary consents.
Situation
Bagber is a hamlet in the renowned Blackmore Vale, in a good location within easy striking distance of a number of small towns. Stalbridge, about 3 miles, has a large independent supermarket, butcher, dentist, library and primary school. Sturminster Newton has similar facilities including a primary school and secondary school.
Further independent schools are available in Sherborne, Blandford Forum and the surrounding areas.
There is a network of bridleways within a short distance of the property together with footpaths.
Directions
From Sturminster Newton head over the town bridge and turn right on the A357. Continue up the hill and down the other side turning right in the dip towards Bagber Common. Continue along this road where the entrance to Firefly Barn will be found on the left hand side.
Outside
The property is approached from the lane via a traditional farm courtyard where there are two other barns. Gates to the side of the house lead to the rear where there is parking and the garage. There is a lovely stone terrace also accessed from the kitchen and a very good sized garden of just under half an acre being predominantly west and south facing with super views over the adjoining countryside. To the west of the main lawn is an orchard with apple, fig, mulberry and apricot trees as well as a substantial and productive vegetable garden.

Mains water and electricity are connected to the property. Private drainage. Oil fired central heating system.
