Set within the grounds of a rural working farm, Kingfishers provides an authentic opportunity to unwind and enjoy the great outdoors on the doorstep of some of Dorset, Somerset and Wiltshire's most iconic locations.
This lovely kitchen is perfectly set up for a lazy start at the breakfast-bar or whipping up a feast for lunch or dinner.
The wood-burner and exposed brickwork make for a really rustic and cosy experience.
The large luxury bedroom leads seamlessly to the main living space.
This stunning conservatory is the perfect place to drink in the rural landscape beyond. Lots of comfy seating, a dining space and even a bed for your four-legged friend.
You enter into this stunning open plan kitchen/lounge/diner which is flooded with natural light. A wonderful place to relax and switch off. There is a door off the kitchen that connects to the owners' property, which will always remain locked.
The living area is particularly lovely with scavenged furniture, a wonderful wood-burning stove and a cosy place to eat. Sit for a moment and feel the sense of calm, it's a real delight.
Leading off the lounge is a large conservatory space with expansive views over the garden and fields beyond... Note that there is a small step down into the conservatory.
The striking roof lantern lets the light pour in.
The luxurious bedroom has a sumptuous king-size bed and luxury linens to help you drift off into blissful slumber...
The hand picked vintage furniture is perfectly juxtaposed within the modern clean space.
Plenty of storage and a wonderful en suite shower-room.
A crisp and spacious shower area styled in kingfisher blue with a rainfall showerhead to help you unwind and refresh after a day exploring.
The en suite fixtures have been tastefully selected in striking kingfisher blue.
Why not just spend the day with your feet up, a warm drink and a book.
There is plenty of private parking for two cars to the right of the property. Note that there is one small step up into the front door.
Beyond the private garden you will find expansive grounds that you are free to wander with your four-legged or two-legged companions!
The property is at the end of of a small terrace of converted farm buildings and with its own private garden you will feel wonderfully tucked into the local landscape.
Kingfishers is within the grounds of a wonderful working cattle farm and tucked onto the end of the other converted barns.
Iconic Golden Hill or "Hovis Hill" from the adverts is just 15 minutes away in stunning Shaftesbury - one of Dorset's most beautiful market towns.
Beautiful and very nearby, Sherborne was recently voted the "South West's best place to live" by the Times.
Castle Cary is steeped in history and has a wealth of quaint shop, pubs and tea rooms.
Trendy and arty Frome is just 30 minutes away and probably has Somerset's most eclectic mix of shops, eateries and retailers. Time your visit with their famous Sunday markets.

We had a relaxing and comfortable weeks holiday at Kingfishers it’s a great property perfect for us as a couple and for our dog . We enjoyed the direct access to fields and footpaths to walk our dog . The fully enclosed outside space /garden at the front and rear of the property was perfect . You can walk into Gillingham high street where there are a couple of pubs, shops and takeaways but it’s also a great location for exploring the wider area by car. We had a fantastic day out at the National trusts Stourhead house and Gardens, would defiantly recommend a visit ...
