The Old Cart Shed

The Old Cart Shed is a charming, single-storey holiday cottage set in a peaceful rural position in Winterborne Stickland, surrounded by open Dorset countryside. Converted from the former farm cart shed, the property has been thoughtfully finished to provide comfortable and well-appointed accommodation, while retaining plenty of character through its vaulted, beamed ceilings and well-proportioned living spaces. Arranged entirely on the ground floor, the cottage centres around a sociable open-plan living area that makes it easy for everyone to spend time together. The kitchen is well equipped for self-catering holidays, whether you are preparing a quick breakfast or a leisurely evening meal, while the dining area provides a relaxed space for sharing food and planning the next day’s outings. The sitting area is warm and inviting, with a woodburning stove creating a cosy focal point, ideal for cooler evenings after a day exploring the countryside. The Old Cart Shed offers three comfortable bedrooms, making it a good choice for families or groups of friends. The king-size bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room, while the two twin bedrooms are served by a family bathroom with a bath and a shower over. Please note there are two low steps leading to the bedroom and bathroom corridor, with wheelchair ramps available on request. Outside, guests can enjoy an enclosed, private garden with a lawned area, patio and picnic bench, providing a pleasant spot for outdoor dining or a quiet moment with a book. There is also a larger shared front lawned area, along with a shared games room on site featuring a pool table, table football and air hockey, offering entertainment for all ages. Winterborne Stickland is ideally placed for exploring Dorset’s varied attractions. The nearby market town of Blandford Forum offers independent shops, cafés and riverside walks, while the Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is on the doorstep, with miles of scenic walking routes. A short drive away, the Jurassic Coast awaits with its dramatic cliffs, historic seaside towns and renowned coastal paths, making The Old Cart Shed a well-located base for a memorable Dorset escape.
