About this property
Near the Sea, this lovely home has out standing comfort and Views,
This pretty south-facing country house is full of light, charm and comfort. There are 4 double bedrooms and a 5th with 2 single beds (ideal for children). There are 3 bathrooms including one with a walk in shower.
Situated fifteen minutes walk from the sea at Lulworth cove on the unspoiled Purbeck coast the Lynches is situated on a hillside with wide south facing views to the sea and surrounded by fields. Built of Purbeck stone around the beginning of the last century it is set in two acres of secluded terraced lawns and gardens including a large area ideal for children's games.
The very fully equipped kitchen opens onto a bright glass conservatory. There is an Aga cooker as well as an extra oven and hob. There is a pretty spacious dining room with a large round 18th. century dining table and sideboard. The large living room has an open fire, a piano and french doors to the terrace.
There is a huge marble table with seating for summer eating on the south facing terrace and there is a sun umbrella and barbecue.
The Lulworth area is notable for its wonderful walks and and spectacular 'Jurassic' coastline including Durdle Door and Kimmeridge bay where there is the recently opened Etches fossil museum.
Good local places for swimming include Lulworth cove, Durdle Door beaches and Kimmeridge. Within easy reach are Corfe Castle with its spectacular ruins, Weymouth Bay and Abottsbury.

About the host

Why they chose this property
This is a property in the English country house tradition is situated on the doorstep of the exceptionally beautiful Isle of Purbeck.
It is attractively furnished in traditional style but not in any way 'precious'. It is a warm friendly place and has been host to many family holidays and celebrations over the years. Although close to the village of West lulworth, it is quiet and secluded in 2 acres of lawns and gardens. The bedrooms and reception rooms are mostly south facing with views across the surrounding countryside or extending to the sea.
