Driftmark

About this property

Driftmark is a pleasant cottage resting in Weymouth, Dorset, featuring open-plan living, a garden with decking and barbecue, roadside parking on a first-come, first-served basis, and a location close to the beach. Set across four storeys, this characterful property provides a flexible base for families, friends, and those travelling with a four-legged companion, offering plenty of space to come together while enjoying all that the Dorset coast has to offer. Step inside and discover a home arranged to make the most of every level. The open-plan living space forms the social heart of the cottage, where the kitchen, dining area, and sitting area create a natural setting for leisurely breakfasts, shared evening meals, and conversations that carry on long after dessert.

Equipped with an electric oven, gas hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and coffee maker, the kitchen makes self-catering simple, while the sitting area invites guests to put their feet up and enjoy time together. A second sitting room on the lower-ground floor provides an additional place to gather, whether catching up over a film or escaping with a good book. Three bedrooms, including a lower-ground-floor double, a double, and a twin, are spread across the property, served by two bathrooms offering the choice of a soak or a refreshing shower. Outside, the garden unfolds across the basement level, where lawn, decking, furniture, and a barbecue encourage relaxed afternoons in the fresh air.

Weymouth is packed with family-friendly attractions, including the broad sweep of Weymouth Beach, the historic Nothe Fort, and the fascinating SEA LIFE Centre. Venture to Portland to explore the dramatic landscapes of Portland Bill, discover the stories of Castletown D-Day Centre, and admire views from the rugged coastline. Dorchester offers another rewarding day out, where the Dorset Museum, Maiden Castle, and The Keep Military Museum reveal centuries of history. Whatever adventures fill your itinerary, Driftmark provides a delightful base from which to experience Dorset's coastline.

The popular resort of Weymouth makes an outstanding year-round holiday destination, with a wide variety of attractions on offer, appealing to all tastes and ages. The glorious golden sandy beaches have excellent facilities for all kinds of watersports, whilst from the picturesque, bustling harbour you can take regular fishing trips. A short drive takes you to Portland Harbour, and the rugged “Isle” of Portland, linked to Weymouth by the dramatic Chesil Beach. Visit Dorchester, Thomas Hardy’s “Casterbridge”, only 7 miles away, or take a journey along the scenic coastal road and call in at Abbotsbury Swannery and Subtropical Gardens. Alternatively, just head down to West Bay - the views of the stunning Dorset Heritage Coastline are not to be missed!
