About this property

Situated within the world-famous Jurassic Coastline, offering a hugely diverse and beautiful landscape, part of a unesco World Heritage site. The property is nestled under the Purbeck hills and set within the grounds of a stately home that boasts views across a private historic church. Though walks on the grounds are limited, the South Coast Path is less than 4 miles away, offering access to stunning sites such as Kimmeridge Bay, Lulworth Cove, and Durdle Door (both 6.9 miles). The charming market town of Wareham is just 3.5 miles away, where you can explore boutique shops, restaurants, and pubs, and enjoy a pleasure boat trip down the River Frome into Poole Harbour, the second largest natural harbour in the world. Corfe Castle, dating back to 1066, is within 4 miles, providing a day of exploration and breath-taking views of the Purbeck Hills. Further afield, the seaside town of Swanage is within 9 miles, featuring award-winning beaches, local shops, and restaurants.

This unique property, originally a grain silo, has been redesigned with comfort and style in mind, featuring a hand-built bespoke staircase, an oak porch, and a curved kitchen. It’s a wonderful spot for couples to escape, relax, and enjoy the countryside. Kick off your muddy boots at the door and step inside the open-plan kitchen/lounge/diner. Decorated in neutral tones with large windows and a rear door offering views across uninterrupted countryside, it’s a lovely space to enjoy a romantic meal or relax in front of the TV. The sofa in the living room can be converted to a double bed if required for alternative sleeping arrangements or an extra guest. When the day is done, climb the curved staircase to the first floor, where a cosy bedroom with a Juliette balcony awaits, offering stunning views of the ancient church, woods, and farmland. The bedroom is complemented by an en-suite shower room.

Outside, at the rear of the property, is a small but secluded garden space, mainly laid to lawn, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or a night under the stars.

  • Mrs Bolton

    A delightful most unusual property, well furnished and equipped. The scenery from every window was beautiful and the surrounding area was breathtaking.

  • Mrs Hedley

    A lovely conversion in a rural setting. Friendly owners. Just what I wanted!

  • Mr Lawrenson

    Absolutely fabulous. Everything you need for a great short break. The silo sits at the entrance to grange farm with great views. From there you are perfectly positioned to get to around the Purbeck area. Plenty of national trust sites within a few miles. The silo itself has been converted to a very high standard and well maintained.. I would certainly recommend it and intend to go back.
