The Tallet Barn, Okeford Fitzpaine

About this property

The Tallet Barn is a wonderful barn conversion located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, looking out across the Blackmore Vale. Incorporating Tallet Barns East and West, with an interconnecting door providing space for all the family.

The Tallet Barn consists of two, spacious, light and airy properties known as Tallet Barn East and West. Both have large double height kitchens, dining and living space, and are beautifully furnished in a contemporary style.

Each of the adjoining barns has its own well-appointed accommodation for four guests with a king-size and twin bedroom, shower room and separate cloakroom in each. However with a clever, highly insulated interconnecting door system in place between them, larger families of up to eight guests can enjoy a combined, flexible living space and the use of the two kitchens for socialising together and enjoying private accommodation, an ideal scenario.

In total The Tallet Barn offers four bedrooms, two shower rooms, and two cloakrooms, and all the everyday living space a large family could wish for, with sliding glass doors on the ground floor and balcony windows on the first floor, affording wonderful views of the stunning countryside all around.

Sitting on top of a deserted medieval village, The Tallet Barn at Darknoll Farm sits atop a Scheduled Monument. There are opportunities for enjoyable walks across the surrounding fields and footpaths, and with the Wessex Ridgeway on your doorstep, the additional walking opportunities are endless. It is a pleasant stroll along the farm track to the village pub, shop and centre of pretty Okeford Fitzpaine, and within a short drive is the popular market town of Sturminster Newton with its shops, cafe and museum.

For smaller groups, each of the two barns is also available to book individually: Tallet Barn East (sleeps four guests); and Tallet Barn West (sleeps four guests).
