Description
Harbins Farm is an impressive detached farmhouse dating back around 200 years, set within the Dorset countryside just outside Sherborne,on the edge of the sought‑after village of Glanvilles Wootton, Sympathetically refurbished throughout, it has been transformed into an impressive holiday home, ideal for memorable family gatherings or relaxed stays with friends. The result is a home that strikes a pleasing balance between original character and spacious, contemporary living, finished with a number of stylish, well‑considered touches.
At the heart of the house is a generous open‑plan living and dining area, perfectly suited to both everyday living and entertaining. A large dining table sits comfortably within the space, while a log burner adds warmth and character. The adjoining kitchen is a standout feature, fitted with marble worktops, a large range cooker, integrated appliances and a central island, ideal for informal dining or food preparation. From here, the accommodation flows into the main sitting room, also centred around a log burner, before leading through to a bright garden room with patio doors opening onto the gardens. Practical features have been carefully incorporated, including a utility and boot room housing laundry appliances, alongside a convenient ground‑floor cloakroom. Underfloor heating runs throughout the property, providing comfort in all seasons. Also on the ground floor is a self‑contained area, well suited to guests or multi‑generational living. This comprises a twin bedroom with zip‑and‑link beds that can be arranged as a super king if preferred, an en‑suite shower room, a second sitting room, and a useful kitchenette with breakfast bar and doors opening directly onto the garden.
Stairs rise to the first floor, where a spacious landing with glass balustrading leads to four further bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a king‑size room with an en‑suite shower room, complemented by a second king‑size bedroom with an iron bedstead, a comfortable double bedroom and a twin room. These are served by an elegant and spacious family bathroom with bath, separate shower, wash basin and WC.
Outside, the gardens form a real highlight. South‑facing and attractively landscaped with lawns, mature trees and pretty planting, they enjoy open views across the surrounding countryside, with a small brook gently running through the grounds. A large garden room at the rear provides a lovely place to sit and enjoy the peaceful setting. There is ample parking for up to five cars. Harbins Farm occupies an idyllic position, well placed for discovering some of Dorset’s most appealing attractions. There are footpaths on the doorstep and you can use these to walk to two local pubs and less than a mile to a farm shop and cafe. Sherborne lies close by, offering its historic abbey, independent shops and cafés, while the iconic Cerne Abbas Giant, Minterne House and Gardens, and a wealth of local walking and riding routes are all within easy reach. The Jurassic Coast is also readily accessible, with Ringstead Bay, Durdle Door and stretches of the South West Coast Path providing memorable coastal days out.
Set at the heart of the Dorset countryside, Harbins Farm is an exceptional farmhouse getaway, perfectly placed for relaxed escapes and memorable stays.

Perfect Score Award This property is highly rated by our customers!
Awesome place to stay.
Comfortable and warm and cosy. Photos don’t do it justice.
Extremely nice spacious accommodation in a quiet location which was spotlessly clean.
The kitchen was very well equipped which made catering for ourselves easy. We had some good weather during our stay and were able to enjoy the garden as well as nice walks straight from the property. It is well located for visiting Sherborne, Dorchester and the coast. The owners were very helpful and friendly and live just a short distance away. We would definitely recommend!
We were a family group of ten adults (and 2 dogs) and we all really enjoyed our stay at Harbins Farm.
It is in a lovely rural location and we enjoyed a walk from the house on one day and a day in Sherborne on the other. The house is very well equipped and there is a large sitting room which accommodated us well in the evenings. The weather wasn’t great so we did not use the garden which we would have liked to have done. I(t has several different sitting areas but it is not fully enclosed so we had to watch the dogs while they were out.) Check in and out was very smooth, and we all agreed it was a fabulous stay! Thank you!
