Fossil Barn

Weymouth, Dorset

Nestled within the historic grounds of a 17th-century thatched manor in Chickerell, Weymouth, Fossil Barn offers a remarkable blend of character and modern luxury. This thoughtfully designed barn conversion accommodates up to four guests in two beautifully appointed bedrooms. The centerpiece of the property is its stunning hand-built oak and glass living area, which features solid oak flooring throughout, creating an inviting atmosphere that is perfect for both relaxation and entertainment. The generous fully enclosed garden provides a picturesque backdrop, allowing guests to enjoy the outdoors through large glazed oak doors in the warmer months or cozy up indoors during the chillier seasons.

The heart of Fossil Barn lies in its spacious modern kitchen, which harmonizes with the living area through its oak floors and warm wooden worktops. This space is designed for both functionality and comfort, making it ideal for preparing meals and gathering with family or friends. Each of the two bedrooms is complemented by a bath/shower room, ensuring convenience and privacy for all guests. A unique touch to the main bedroom is the handcrafted stained glass window, featuring a fossil design that reflects the property’s attention to detail and connection to the surrounding area.

Located in a tranquil coastal village, Fossil Barn is just a mile from the Fleet, England's largest natural inlet of seawater. The village itself boasts essential amenities, including shops, two public houses, a restaurant, a chemist, and a post office. The nearby Turks Head pub is highly regarded for its generous portions of home-cooked meals, which can be enjoyed either indoors or in the inviting pub garden. Additionally, the property is conveniently situated on the outskirts of Weymouth, a charming Georgian seaside resort known for its award-winning blue flag sandy beach and picturesque harbor, as well as access to the World Heritage Jurassic Coast, famous for fossil hunting.

Guests at Fossil Barn are greeted with a warm Dorset welcome, which includes a delightful treat of fresh Dorset apple cake made from apples picked from the garden, alongside complimentary tea and coffee. This thoughtful gesture sets the tone for a relaxing holiday experience, allowing visitors to unwind and immerse themselves in the beauty and charm of the Dorset countryside. With its blend of historical significance, modern amenities, and a captivating natural environment, Fossil Barn promises an unforgettable getaway for those seeking comfort and adventure in South West England.
