Hazel Barn, White Lackington, Dorchester, DT2 7QU

A stunning, energy-efficient home with breathtaking vaulted oak beams, expansive open-plan living and eco-friendly features, set in a tranquil countryside location.

The Property Hazel Barn is an exceptional home, featuring part-rendered, part-flint, and brick-banded elevations beneath a tiled roof.

This stunning, energy-efficient property offers thoughtfully designed, spacious accommodation extending to approximately 2,800 sq ft, primarily arranged over a single level.

A charming minstrel’s gallery, crafted from solid oak and accessed via a spiral staircase, adds a unique touch to one end of the main living space.

Designed for modern lifestyles, the heart of the home is a breathtaking open-plan living area.

This vast space encompasses a sitting and dining area alongside a stylish, well-appointed kitchen, all set beneath a striking, vaulted cruck-framed oak roof-an architectural feature rarely found in contemporary homes.

A flue is already in place, ready for the addition of a wood-burning stove, while an exposed brick wall serves as a subtle nod to the original barn that once stood on the site.

Underfloor heating runs throughout. The ground floor also hosts four bedrooms, including two with en suite, a family bathroom and a bright garden room facing east with views over the garden.

A generous utility room, cloakroom and a dedicated plant room complete the accommodation.

The plant room houses the state-of-the-art low-energy heating system, including a ground source heat pump, mechanical ventilation and heat recovery (mvhr) system and large hot water tanks.

Outside Approached via a quiet no-through lane that meanders past the River Piddle, Hazel Barn enjoys a tranquil setting.

Double gates open onto a substantial block-paved driveway, offering ample parking and access to a large timber-clad outbuilding providing garaging and storage.

The majority of the plot extends to the south and east, where a paved terrace wraps around the property. The garden is predominantly laid to lawn, gently rising towards the east.

In the northeast corner of the plot, a second substantial timber-clad outbuilding benefits from a solar array installed on its south-western roof slope, further enhancing the home’s eco-friendly credentials.
