About this property

A cottage full of character with slate roof and exposed stone work Norden Cottage is a delightful 300 year old property. Located in a picture postcard Dorset village on a no through lane on the inland coastal path in the heart of Osmington.

Immediately you enter the dining area of Norden Cottage you cannot help but be immersed into the history of the cottage. With archways from the open plan living area to the kitchen and sitting area with wood-burning stove set on the most spectacular stone chimney breast. The kitchen is hand crafted and perfect for preparing any meals or snacks you may wish to enjoy whilst you are there. On a beautiful sunny day enjoy your meal al-fresco in the lawned garden complete with swing-chair. With exposed beams and stonework the character of this property continues on in the bedroom.

Osmington is the ideal setting from which to discover and walk the costal paths. The Smugglers Inn, close to the coast, is an excellent choice to rest and enjoy a meal and a drink after a good day’s rambling.

Walk along the inland coastal path, and you will discover etched into the chalk downland the famous 'White Horse' with King George III riding back towards London. The scenic beaches at Lulworth, Ringstead or the major resort of Weymouth are also fantastic days out and just a short car ride away. Craig's Dairy Farm, the village farm shop, offers local produce for your immediate needs while the Co-op and Spar shops less than 5 minutes' drive away provide a full range of services at nearby Weymouth and Dorchester.

This character filled beautiful cottage is just the perfect setting to immerse yourself in history in a beautiful village setting.

Osmington village, is situated on the Jurassic coastline of Dorset, just 6 miles from Weymouth wher you will find an glorious beach and historic harbour and just 11 miles from Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door. Home to the famous Chalk hillside carving of George III on horseback, cut into the hillside to commemorate the Royal visits to Weymouth, this landmark can be seen from miles away. It is also the place that John Constable spent his honeymoon in 1816 and where he completed his painting of Weymouth Bay that now hangs in the National Gallery. The South West Coastal path runs through Osmington Mills, a tiny hamlet on the edge of Osmington. Here many walkers start their coast path walks at the Smugglers inn, where reputedly there are historic connections to smuggling. Be sure to visit to find out all the stories. A short drive will see you reach a local convenience store at Preston. Weymouth offers a larger variety of shopping, eating and entertainment choices.
