The property
Rowdens Barn is a beautifully presented, single-storey holiday cottage set in a peaceful rural location on the edge of Winterborne Stickland. Formerly animal housing for the farm, this delightful conversion combines traditional features with a comfortable, well-planned layout, making it an appealing choice for couples, friends or a small family seeking a quiet Dorset escape. Inside, the accommodation is arranged entirely on the ground floor and centres around a characterful open-plan living space, where exposed beams and a woodburning stove create a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the year. The kitchen is thoughtfully arranged for self-catering holidays, while the dining area offers a pleasant place to enjoy relaxed meals together. The sitting area is ideal for unwinding at the end of the day, whether that’s with a good book or simply enjoying the glow of the fire. A stable door leads out to the garden, adding to the cottage’s traditional charm and making it easy to move between indoor and outdoor living on warmer days. There are two comfortable bedrooms, including a king-size double and a twin, both served by a well-appointed family bathroom with a bath and shower over, offering flexibility for guests sharing. Outside, Rowdens Barn enjoys an enclosed, private garden with a lawned area, patio and picnic bench, perfect for morning coffee, alfresco dining or simply soaking up the rural surroundings. Guests also have use of a larger shared front lawn and a shared on-site games room, complete with a pool table, table football and air hockey, providing entertainment for all ages. Winterborne Stickland is ideally located for exploring the best of Dorset. The nearby market town of Blandford Forum offers independent shops, cafés and riverside walks along the River Stour, while the Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty provides miles of unspoilt countryside and scenic walking routes. A little further afield, the Jurassic Coast invites you to discover dramatic cliffs, historic seaside towns and beautiful beaches, making Rowdens Barn a well-placed base for a memorable countryside break. Note: This property is in a courtyard with Refs. 18978, 19285, 905895, 905896 and 905897, together they sleep 28.
