Country hideaways are the perfect antidote to the fast pace of modern living – and if unwinding tension while recharging batteries is what you need then Carter Jonas has a choice of three perfect and refurbished havens.

 

Long term tenants are wanted for a three bedroom home at Herriard (£1,695 per month EPC Band tbc) which is freshly decorated and with new carpets throughout, as well as a sparkling new kitchen.

 

Close to the Solent coast at Bucklers Hard in the New Forest is Salternshill Farm Cottage (£2,250 EPC E), featuring a stunning open plan kitchen / dining room with integrated appliances, a drawing room with log burner, and sitting room with fireplace, plus a downstairs cloakroom with shower. Upstairs there are three double bedrooms and one single, a contemporary shower room, and lovely bathroom. The large attic room has potential for a variety of uses.

 

Deep in Dorset, at Encombe, Corfe Castle, is the Grade II listed Dairy House (£4,500), tucked away in a World Heritage site near Sandbanks. Accommodation is on three floors with four reception rooms, including the original Dairy, which opens on to the garden, where the Earl of Eldon, Lord Chancellor in William Pitt The Younger’s administration, entertained London guests to “impromptu” cream teas.

 

There are three principal bedrooms on the first floor, one with en-suite bathroom, and also a further bathroom. On the second floor there are two further bedrooms and a newly-installed bathroom, as well as an additional shower room. Above the Dairy is a large room with en-suite shower room suitable for a nanny / house keeper or as a home office.
