| The magnificent 14th century tithe barn, once part of the great Benedictine Abbey in Cerne Abbas, is the setting for Barton Farm just off the A352 Sherborne to Dorchester Road. The sympathetic conversion of the barns around the largest of the three courtyards creates a development of character where the old has been imaginatively combined with the new. The architecture is typical of the area with shallow pitched slate roofs, stone banding, brick and knapped flint walls and exposed beams inside.

Built around the new Coach Yard, and in perfect keeping with local building traditions, are 12 two-and three-bedroom cottages, all with conservatories. Beyond, with impressive views towards St Mary's Church, is the Tithe Cottage and two further cottages in Tithe Yard. All the properties have their own conveniently located garages.
The gardens are attractively landscaped with shrubs and herbaceous borders and include a small knot garden and several acres of meadowland. There are many beautiful walks, including one along the River Cerne as it flows through the village and on into the meadow which forms part of the development.

| Barton Farm can be approached from either the Dorchester Road or The Folly, leading directly into the centre of Cerne Abbas, less than 200 yards away. The small town, in reality, no more than a village, is about nine miles from Sherborne and seven miles from Dorchester where there are mainline railway stations.
