Cottage in Dorset

About this property

A beautiful thatched cottage situated in a peaceful Dorset village, this is the perfect place to escape from the crowds and simply relax surrounded by glorious English countryside.

Discover the beauty of a Dorset getaway with this traditional Grade II listed thatched cottage hidden in a quiet and secluded hamlet. This is a wonderful opportunity to spend some time in a quaint period property complete with original features, surrounded by tranquil countryside. Despite its rural location, the cottage is ideally situated to explore the surrounding area. For those who can t wait to get outdoors and breathe in the fresh sea air, the coastal path is just 1.5 miles away and the iconic Durdle Door just 2 miles. For families, excellent nearby attractions include the Bovington Tank Museum and Monkey World, both within a five mile radius. This cottage is on the end of a short row of pretty cottages and upon entering for the first time you ll be surprised at how deceptively spacious it is. Moving past the hall space with room for boots, coats and any outside gear, there s the choice of two rooms. To your right is the doorway to the kitchen while to the left there s the large lounge and dining area. The kitchen has a practical tiled floor and is well equipped for all your needs. A second doorway leads directly through to the lounge, making it easy to wander between the two rooms while you re cooking dinner. Although the village pub is just a short 150 yard stroll, you ll find it hard to drag yourself away from the comfort of the cottage. Snuggle up in the window loveseat with a spot of holiday reading or stretch out next to the open fire and just relax, listening to the crackle of the logs. The low beamed ceilings add to the intimacy of the cottage and these continue upstairs. A steep, winding staircase leads to two walkthrough bedrooms which sleep a maximum of four. Bright and airy, the first bedroom is a twin with a door that connects to the double bedroom beyond. The comfortable bathroom is accessed via a door at the entrance of the twin room. To the front of the property you ll find a lush lawn garden complete with flowerbeds, shrubs and a shady willow tree. A paved path provides direct access to the doors. There is a dedicated parking space for one car. Need to know: 2 bedrooms: 1 double, 1 twin. 1 bathroom: 1 with shower over the bath and WC (accessed via twin bedroom).
