About this property
Independent Garden Wing of Dorset country house
The spacious wing of a large and very beautiful country house that is occasionally let independently of the main house. It has a completely separate entrance, its own private Mediterranean garden, and beautiful views over the garden of the main house and to the sea beyond. There may be guests in the main part of the house so it is very important that guests in the Garden Wing are mindful of this.
There is a spacious and comfortable sitting room, a well equipped kitchen and 3 very comfortable bedrooms. The Garden Wing has its own garden - the Mediterranean Garden which is full of shrubs and other flowering plants. There is a wooden table seating 6 on the patio area outside the front door of the Garden Wing which is perfect for meals outside.
The house is within walking distance of Kimmeridge Bay and surrounded by rolling hills.

Why they chose this property
The Garden Wing is part of a wonderful historic estate on the coast at KImmeridge Bay which is well known for its fossils, wind surfing and snorkelling. There are marvellous walks in the area and many local attractions - including the Etches Collection of fossils, the many bays such as Lulworth Cove, and Chapman's Pool and also the forgotten village of Tyneham.
What makes this property unique
The marvellous position of the house - nestling between the hills and the coast. You really have the impression of being in the depths of the country and the sea views will take your breath away.
