Fox Den is a beautifully crafted detached barn conversion nestled at the end of a sweeping driveway near the charming village of Hardington Mandeville in Somerset, offering a peaceful countryside retreat on a stunning 500-acre estate surrounded by wildflower meadows, sunflower fields, and open farmland.
Blending rustic character with refined design and modern comforts, the stone cottage features stylish flooring, underfloor heating, and a practical entrance hallway that doubles as a boot room and utility area with an integrated washing machine.
A sleek ground-floor wet room with a double walk-in shower is perfect for refreshing after rural walks, complemented by a warm water tap outside for rinsing muddy boots and paws—ideal for dog owners and outdoor enthusiasts.
The spacious kitchen and dining area boasts a newly fitted kitchen with quartz worktops, a range cooker, and a Nespresso machine, while expansive windows frame breathtaking countryside views.
The adjoining lounge offers a cosy ambience with a wall-mounted TV, sound bar, log burner, and patio doors leading to a wrap-around terrace.
Upstairs, two super king bedrooms with zip link beds provide flexible sleeping arrangements, each with its own ensuite—one with a modern shower room and the other with a luxurious bathroom.
Outside, multiple terraced seating areas capture the views throughout the day, a six-person hot tub adds indulgence, and the surrounding lawns, private woodland, and tranquil pond invite relaxation and wildlife spotting, with deer, owls, and hares often seen at dawn and dusk.
The dark skies offer exceptional stargazing, and practical amenities include off-road parking for several vehicles, an EV charging point, and a dog-friendly policy welcoming up to two dogs.
Just 10 miles away, Sherborne in Dorset offers historic charm with Sherborne Abbey, the ruins of Sherborne Old Castle, and the landscaped grounds of Sherborne New Castle, alongside boutique shopping and cultural experiences.
Nearby Crewkerne (4 miles) and Yeovil (8 miles) provide further dining and shopping options, while outdoor lovers can explore Ham Hill Country Park or climb Pilsdon Pen for sweeping views.
The Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is also within reach, offering fossil-rich beaches, iconic landmarks like Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove, and unforgettable coastal adventures.
Fox Den is the perfect blend of style, comfort, and tranquillity for those seeking a luxurious countryside escape.
