House in Dorset

About this property

A former Victorian school with contemporary interior styling, and easy access to Dorset s most famous attractions. With character features and a wood burner, it s the ideal year round base for a fun filled holiday.

Set within the pretty village of West Knighton, this grade II listed building has been sympathetically converted from a former village school. Offering individual character and an enviable setting, this spacious property is ideal for visiting both the coast and countryside. Why not take a stroll to the local pub, or perhaps visit the county town of Dorchester, which is minutes away by car and offers all kinds of shops, as well as museums, cinemas and other attractions. The Purbeck Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is only a short drive away and leads onto Dorset's amazing Jurassic Coast beyond, where you can explore the much photographed landmarks of Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove. Heading into the semi detached property you are met by a grand galleried main hall with an inviting lounge to the right, which is the ideal place to relax after a day spent exploring as it has sofas, armchairs, a wood burner and TV/DVD. Also leading off of the hallway is a compact twin bedroom, separate WC and a cosy sun room. Further on from here is the well equipped open plan kitchen/diner, which has two electric ovens and a hob, two fridges, a freezer, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer. Heading back into the hallway you will find the staircase rising to the first floor, with a sunny casual reading area which gives access to a twin bedroom with pitched beamed ceiling and en suite shower and WC. A further striking king size bedroom with exposed beams is opposite, with an adjacent contemporary family bathroom with bath and a separate shower and WC. Venturing outside via the rear door you will find an attractive paved and enclosed courtyard with living walls, feature lighting and patio furniture, providing private space to relax and enjoy a drink outdoors throughout the day or evening.
