3 bedroom barn conversion to rent

Tucked away at the end of Mill Lane, this charming home forms part of the beautifully converted Chetnole Mill. Perfectly placed for Sherborne and its many amenities, it also sits within a thriving, community-minded village with a pub, church, cricket team, and playing fields. With walks from the doorstep and rolling countryside all around, it’s an idyllic setting for both everyday life and weekend escapes.

Living Spaces

The property is approached via a picturesque path to a gravelled parking area, with the front door opening into a welcoming hallway. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and reception room is the heart of the home, furnished with antiques and rich in period character — oak floors, beams, window seats, and even a view of the original mill machinery through an internal window.

The kitchen is well-equipped with modern appliances, while the dining area comfortably seats six. The sitting room centres on an Inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove, creating a cosy and inviting atmosphere.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms

On the ground floor, three steps lead to a landing with storage, the family bathroom, and the principal bedroom. The main bedroom is generous and stylishly fitted with wardrobes and drawers, and French doors open directly to the garden.

Upstairs are two further bedrooms — one a single, ideal as a study or nursery, and the other a spacious double with twin beds and fitted storage — along with a second bathroom.

Garden & Outdoor Living

The secure garden is accessed from the principal bedroom. A terrace with table and chairs is perfect for al fresco dining, with steps leading up to a lawn bordered by countryside fields.

Character & Accessibility

Chetnole Mill is steeped in history, with original features such as millstones, watercourses, and the old oven sympathetically incorporated into the conversion. The ground floor has also been thoughtfully designed with accessibility in mind, including higher plug sockets and a handrail on the shallow steps to the bedroom.
