About this property
Chocolate box cottage in 8 acres of pasturland on Jurassic coatline of Dorset
Far from the madding crowd, set down its own private leafy driveway nestled in 8 acres of fields and woodland. Total peace can be found at the old cottage which dates back to the early Victorian age and is full of charm and character. It has an open fire, oil-fired central heating, and has a warm home-from-home feel. The cottage has a King size bed, toilet & washbasin upstairs. The kitchen is extremely well equipped with a dishwasher, microwave, fridge, and freezer. A table and chairs overlooking the fields for breakfast, or a private garden with a fire pit and sun loungers to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet, but still close to all amenities. Just the place to unwind.
The cottage is completely self contained with plenty of parking. Weekly rentals or short breaks in the winter.
Dogs are allowed, (2 maximum) but owners' rules must be followed as there is livestock on the land. A fee of £10 per dog per night. Owners must be responsible for picking up and disposing of bag into the bin at the top of the drive. No dogs are to be left in the cottage on their own at any time, and not allowed on furniture or upstairs.
The fresh smell of the sea and the waves crashing on the beach (when the wind is in the right direction) add to the atmosphere of this unique little gem.
The cottage is cool in summer and warm and cosy in the winter. A log burner is available (September-April) Central heating on a timer during winter months.
The kitchen is extremely well equipped and tea towels, oven gloves, washing up liquid. Complementary milk in the fridge for that much-wanted cup of tea on arrival.
I am more than happy to put food supplies away in the fridge/freezer if a home delivery is requested.
I supply 1 toilet roll in both the bathroom and upstairs toilet.
The bedroom has low eaves, but a very comfortable king-size bed with fresh linen and a duvet provided. The windows in the roof allow you to stargaze, and have black-out blinds if so required.
I am very happy to suggest places of interest or good pubs/restaurants in the area.
If privacy is required this is the place for you.

What makes this property unique
Situated down its own private driveway, with plenty of parking. Comfortable chairs outside the cottage to enjoy a glass of wine before walking up the drive to the local pub - the Elm Tree. Excellent fresh food cooked to order. Well known for its local fish and locally sourced produce.
The cottage is situated in its own little microclimate and benefits from being in the folds of the valley where it is very sheltered.
The horses graze in front of the Lounge window, and the birds and wildlife are in abundance.
