• Vendors Comments: 'Our house is on the market because we are wanting to move to the New Forest area to be nearer our family. We have lived in Chestnut Tree Barn for the past five years and, in that time, we have created a beautiful garden with lots of interesting plants and the garden layout itself was created by a professional garden company. The house itself has a lovely friendly warm atmosphere with oak floors throughout and under floor heating (so no cold feet) and a central vacuum system which rarely needs emptying. Just a mile down the road is the railway station which serves Weymouth in one direction and Waterloo station in the other. Just across the road is the Doctors Surgery, Library, and local convenience store complete with Post Office. The house is part of a small private development in a delightful setting. We find it so convenient to get to most towns, such as Weymouth, Wareham, Poole, Bridport, Lyme Regis and Poundbury, etc.'A detached character brick and stone built property approx 5 years old, with the remaining NHBC warranty.
