The Experience
The feel is one of much space and light, thanks to high ceilings, french doors leading to the garden and big windows on every other wall. In spite of its size it still feels cosy with a wood-burner, large TV, books and board games, so even on a foul weather day you’ll feel happy to stay indoors. On balmier days you’ll be sitting in the garden, having meals out here, admiring the super views, lighting the small barbecue.
The well-equipped kitchen has lots of room, a range cooker with three ovens and all mod cons a cook might need to feed a large group. There’s a separate boot room for washing machine and drier, as well as a handy pulley airer for wet walking gear. Bedrooms, all a good size, have well-dressed beds and two have the pretty view. Nought but birdsong will disturb your sleep.
A 20-minute walk across fields will take you to Child Okeford for two pubs and a shop/post office. Return to settle on comfy sofas.

Location
The neighbourhood
You are left a map of local walks but you can also visit an iron age hill fort and nature reserve at Hambledon Hill run by the National Trust. As well as the shop/post office the village has a very good farm shop and café, Gold Hill Organic Farm. The Saxon Inn serves delicious food, one mile away. Shillingstone village has a tea room and a café at the station for The North Dorset Railway.
Local points of interest from Lucinda Sunnucks
- Situated between two Iron Age Hill forts Hambledon and Hod Hill, the walking round our barn is wonderful and the views breathtaking.
- The Dorset Jurassic coast is less than an hour away, easy for a day trip. From Swanage to Weymouth - lots to do and see - Nothe Castle, Swanage, Corfe Castle.
- Fun things to do for children include Monkey World, the Tank Museum at Bovington, and many National Trust properties and gardens.

Introducing
Lucinda Sunnucks
Lucinda and John have lived in this tiny hamlet for many years. They originally lived in the main house and converted one of the barns into holiday lets, now they've restored two more and built their own house on site. They are smallholders and farm the land in partnership with a farmer so you will see a mix of livestock in the fields depending on the time of year.
A fantastic place to escape and relax. With wonderful panoramic rural views all around it, White Grounds is the ideal place to switch off and enjoy the beautiful Dorset countryside. A sympathetic barn conversion, the property retains much of its rustic charm with exposed wooden beamsand a high vaulted ceiling, whilst providing super comfortable, cosy and practical living space.
