Make the most of a Dorset getaway at this stunning retreat, an appealing choice for large families and groups of friends. The private estate includes woodland, lakes and wildlife, and offers plenty of ways to spend time outdoors, from cycling and walking to tennis, kayaking and swimming in the heated outdoor pool. If you simply want to relax, the wellness spa and restaurant are ready and waiting. Venture beyond the estate, and the Jurassic Coast is within 7 miles, with iconic Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door and Chesil Beach all within 16 miles. The historic town of Dorchester is just 6 miles away, or for traditional seaside fun Weymouth is reachable within 10 miles. There’s so much to do for all ages nearby, and Maiden Castle, Thomas Hardy’s Cottage, Sculpture by the Lakes and the Osmington White Horse are all within 7.5 miles.
Every aspect of this superlative house has been carefully designed with an eye to style, comfort and practicality. Crisp white walls contrast with large, dark-framed windows, while high-quality furnishings and attractive accessories create a wonderful home-from-home feeling. When you return from an exciting day out, step into the open-plan living space, a tranquil haven in the summertime when you can slide open the doors direct to the garden, and a cosy retreat in cooler months with the flames flickering in the wood burner. Cook up hearty meals in the modern kitchen, filled with everything you’ll need and more, including a boiling-water tap and a wine fridge. For that extra get-up-and-go in the mornings there’s also a Nespresso-compatible coffee machine. Everyone can gather around the large dining table for celebratory holiday meals, and afterwards the seating area offers calming views to the garden and beyond, with a Smart TV for restful nights in. Completing the ground floor is a combined utility/cloakroom with a WC and washer/dryer as well as storage for coats and shoes. Take the stairs to the first floor to find all four bedrooms, sleeping up to six adults and two children. The two stunning king-size bedrooms share a wonderful balcony with views over the estate’s sculpture garden, where you’ll spot birds and other wildlife. These bedrooms also include built-in wardrobes for ample clothes storage and convenient en-suite shower rooms. The remaining two bedrooms are a double and a bunk-bed room (perfect for little ones), sharing a family bathroom.
Step from the living space straight out onto the large, decked area, which is furnished with a gas BBQ and furniture for dining in the sunshine or under the stars. Beyond lies a large area of lawn, ideal for outdoor games or dogs to sniff and play, and with a gate that leads into the sculpture garden. Helping to make arrivals and departures straightforward, you’ll have parking for one car by the house, with further parking available in the main site car park.
