2 Bed Cottage in Higher Ansty

About this property

A wonderful destination for a rural retreat, this inviting bolthole boasts glorious views and light living spaces. 14 miles from the county town of Dorchester, enjoy your secluded position near the pretty village of Higher Ansty, whilst not being too far from the hustle and bustle. Enjoy days on the Jurassic Coast (20 miles), before returning home to get cosy or to spend the evening al fresco in the lovely garden. Sleeping four guests across two bedrooms, this home welcomes your four-legged friend too, so you can all have a ball.

Arrive at this humble abode and tuck into the welcome pack provided by the friendly owners. After a warming mug of tea and some treats, unpack your bags and head into the light, spacious lounge. Keep the chill at bay and throw a log on the wood burner whilst getting cosy in front of the TV or curling up with a good book. From the sofas, admire the gorgeous garden views or swing the doors open and let the outside in. After adventurous days, cook up a storm in the bright kitchen and take a plate over to the dining table or serve up outside for an al fresco feast. The raised patio has a BBQ for sizzling, sundowner banquets and you can step down to the lawn area to bask in the sun and admire the views. After fun-filled, relaxed evenings, a pair of bedrooms invite you to melt down and get cosy under the covers before waking up feeling rejuvenated and ready for a shower in the shower room.

The local village has a handful of amenities and a pub which is great for a post-walk pitstop to fill hungry tummies. 14.5 miles away, the historic town of Sherborne has a pair of castles and an abbey which are wonderful to visit or travel 14 miles to Dorchester with its cinemas and eateries for fun-filled days and nights. Enjoy a beach day or two at one of the beaches which dot the Jurassic Coast including Weymouth (22 miles) and Swanage (27 miles).
