About this property

Delightful mid-row thatched cottage in beautiful sleepy Dorset village.

Set in a row of four thatched cottages on a rural village road, this classic cob cottage retains many original features. Downstairs you enter into raised flag-floored area which leads down a step into beamy sitting/dining room with ceramic floor. In the room next to the sitting/dinning room there is a well equipped kitchen with dishwasher. Just up a couple of steps from the sitting/dinning room is the Bathroom (bath with shower over) and toilet. Please be aware that sadly log burner in the property is for aesthetic purposes only as it is decommissioned. Upstairs has 3 Bedrooms: a double, a twin plus a small single with reduced height at the eaves. Outside, there is a secluded garden with shrub borders, wooden fence, greenhouse and owner's garden sheds. Parking is on village street. You are also a 2 minute walk to the local pub, The New Inn.

Welcome cooked family meals are available to pre-order, these are freshly prepared by the pub chefs so why not have a Cottage Pie or Thai Vegetable Curry or Lasagne or Fish Pie waiting for you when you arrive to just heat up, with a chilled glass of wine or two already waiting in the fridge. You could order a meal for every night so no hassle finding the local shop or cooking!! Meals are made in a traditional family oven dish, and serve 6 standard portions, they will be left in the fridge for your arrival and cost £20 each, wine can be pre-ordered to, with Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot white wine, Merlot and Shiraz in red, these are £15 a bottle, and must be pre-ordered by email. West Knighton is a great base for many countryside walks, and a short drive to the Jurassic Coast and if needed many many family attractions. Or even, the historic Roman town Durnovaria, or as we know it today, Dorchester. Local beaches in the area include Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door, Weymouth, Studland, Bournemouth and Poole (all around 30 minutes or less drive). Walking is a delight and the area has comprehensive footpaths and bridleways over the surrounding countryside and along the World Heritage Jurassic Coastline. West Knighton is a delightful village and civil parish in south Dorset, England, situated 3 miles southeast of the county town Dorchester. It has an 11th-century church and a village pub. In the 2011 census the civil parish had a population of 375. TV, DVD, WIfi, sheets, towels and garden also supplied.
