Shires Barn is a charming rural retreat set off a long driveway in well stocked, partly walled gardens offering lovely views over the adjacent fields. Gussage All Saints is a quiet, picturesque village with a parish church and a community-owned pub, The Drovers Inn, set in a pretty chalk valley within a 20-minute drive of Wimborne and easily accessible to the coastal towns of Poole and Bournemouth and the city of Salisbury, all of which have mainline rail links to London Waterloo. The front door leads to a large dining hall with a brick wall feature, exposed beams and timbers, and a door to outside. There is a cloakroom with a coat hanging area, WC and wash basin. The impressive split level, dual aspect sitting room features a flint panel, exposed beams and timbers, and a floor-to-ceiling fireplace (with wood burner) constructed of bricks from the floor of the original stable block. Glazed doors lead to a superb conservatory built on a brick plinth, with oak flooring, full height window panels, a vaulted polycarbonate ceiling, and double doors to outside.
