About this property

Beautiful countryside cottage in with soaring views across the Purbeck Hills. Attractive gardens and rustic charm characterise this lovely Dorset family retreat.

Discover what peace, quiet and calm really feels like with this glorious village location and Grade II listed building. A converted farm building, this cottage is located within a sleepy village with endless views over the rolling countryside and the Purbeck Hills. The stresses and strains of everyday life will feel like a distant memory and any tension will just melt away with this relaxing rural retreat. The nearest shop is just 0.5 miles and the pub 200 yards. The beauty of Lulworth Cove and the coastline is also just a short half mile hop, while the town of Wareham is 8 miles away. The approach to the property provides a clue to the high standard inside with open gardens including lawn, flowers and a paved path. The whole property is spread over a single storey so it s easy to move around without having to navigate a staircase. The light and spacious lounge and diner is immediately to your left as you enter. With Sky TV, an iPod Dock and a DVD player, you don t need to go out if you prefer to just relax. The crackle of the wood burner and the soft, sumptuous sofa and chairs provide a wonderful way to unwind. The kitchen is next to the lounge and is sleek, modern and fitted with everything you need, including a wine chiller. A boot room provides extra space for drying your clothes, complete with tumble drier. Two double bedrooms can be found further along the hallway, one with an en suite bathroom and shower cubicle. If you prefer to soak in a warm bath, there s also a generously sized family bathroom too. The rear of the property is just as spectacular as the rest, with steps down to a private patio. Flagstones lead you around the lawn with two further terraced areas and a shaded pergola. With the Purbeck Hills gently rolling into the horizon, you ll feel as if you re in the midst of your own private Mediterranean style escape.
