We are a family of 5 living in Central London. We usually travel with some or all of our grown up children. We also have a Grade 2 listed stone farmhouse in Dorset with a heated swimming pool and large orchards and gardens which we can exchange too. We are very experienced exchangers and have visited many wonderful places over the past ten years. We take considerable care of the properties we stay in and are happy to take care of animals if asked.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Gorgeous stone farmhouse with heated SWIMMING POOL in idyllic countryside with 1.5 acres of beautiful gardens and orchards. Sleeps 10 comfortably. Our farmhouse is situated on the edge of a North Dorset village in the heart of the countryside with views to the River Stour and there is easy access to fantastic walks direct from the house and locally. We are 40mins from Stonehenge and a one hour drive to Studland beach, Swanage, Durdle Door and Dorset's famous Jurassic coast. There are lots of National Trust houses within an easy drive including Stourhead. The closest rail station is 15 minutes away in Gillingham with hourly direct trains to London taking 1hour 50mins. The large heated swimming pool is open and heated during the summer months only and PLEASE NOTE it is unfenced and the house may therefore be unsuitable for if you have very young children.
