Description
SUMMARY
A beautifully converted former coach house featuring period beams and character throughout. This first-floor loft-style apartment offers two bedrooms, two bathroom/shower rooms, a large kitchen, spacious reception room with dining area, and the added benefit of private parking.
DESCRIPTION
Iwerne Minster is an ancient Dorset village with roots stretching far back into prehistory. Its name comes from the River Iwerne, which may derive either from a Celtic goddess.
By the time of the Domesday Book in 1086, the village appeared as Euneministre, already tied to Shaftesbury Abbey, which owned the land and several associated chapels and where the "Minster" derived its attachment to the village name.
The village was renowned for its linen button-making trade, at the centre of the village stands the Church of St Mary, notable for its medieval spire—one of only three such church spires in Dorset. Much of the surrounding village layout, its lanes, cottages, and mature greenery, reflects the layered history that has shaped Iwerne Minster over more than a millennium.
