This traditionally-built detached Purbeck stone cottage enjoys a stunning location close to a historic Dorset village and makes a great base for a large family or group exploring the Purbeck Hills.
Located at the end of a no-through lane and surrounded by rolling countryside, the cottage is within 1 mile of Corfe Castle. This historic village is within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and features a variety of independent shops, restaurants, cafes and pubs, and surrounds the thousand-year-old castle itself, which offers superb views across the Purbeck Hills. The vibrant seaside town of Swanage (5.5 miles) has a glorious sandy beach, and a traditional promenade and pier, or you could catch a ferry from Studland (6.5 miles) to explore the stunning Brownsea Island. Also nearby, are the Blue Pool (4 miles), the RSPB Nature Reserve at Arne (7 miles) and the historic deserted village of Tyneham (7 miles). Heading to the coast there are many beautiful beaches, quaint coves and delightful villages to discover, including Lulworth Cove (13 miles).
On entering this beautifully furnished and tastefully decorated holiday home, you will find yourself in the large entrance hall with plenty of space for coats and boots and also the home to a piano. The bright and spacious lounge has two seating areas, one by the cosy wood burner which is set in a beamed fireplace, the other by the TV/DVD which is by a feature fireplace. The lounge also retains original exposed beams and a floor which is partially wood and partly flagstone. Off the lounge, the rear porch offers further storage for coats and muddy boots. Exploring further you will find the attractive orangery/dining room, which is a wonderful space for enjoying a family meal together, with a vaulted ceiling, oak floor, panoramic country views and French doors to the patio. The light and stylish kitchen is equipped with a range oven, fridge, freezer, microwave, dishwasher and a useful breakfast table. An additional fridge can be found in the utility room and there is a washing machine under one of the staircases. There's a twin bedroom on the ground floor, which can be made up as a 6' double room on prior request. The bedroom also benefits from French doors which lead onto its own patio and a ground floor shower room with shower, WC and underfloor heating. The main staircase leads upstairs to three bedrooms. The first room is a double room with a feature Victorian fireplace and a 5’ double bed. This room also has an en-suite bathroom accessed via two steps, and which features a free-standing bath, separate shower and WC. There’s also a twin room and a further double, as well as a bathroom with bath and WC. A second, private staircase leads up to a galleried double room with a futon bed, vaulted ceiling and reduced height in the eaves.
The house is surrounded by beautiful gardens, with large lawns, several patios and paths on three sides of the property. You can sit outside and enjoy a BBQ or a drink in the evening. The gardens extend to two thirds of an acre and feature a dry-stone wall, fenced pond, an orchard and a woodland area with a Wendy house, swing and trampoline (use at own risk).
Dogs are charged at £20 each per full or part week.
