  • Spacious enclosed gravel garden and patio with a BBQ for al fresco dining
Property code: OC-DC049

Located at the end of a farm lane and less than a mile from Seatown beach, you can look forward to many an afternoon lazing by the shore. A shingle beach overlooked by the stunning Golden Cap, this little slice of paradise is easily accessed by walking from the end of the farm lane and picking up the path to the beach. Once you’ve had your fill of relaxation, pop into one of three local pubs and indulge in a refreshing drink or filling meal. For a bit more action, visit Bridport (3 miles) and browse the number of shops, restaurants and attractions on offer.

Inside the property, the fabulous ground floor is largely occupied up by the spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. A bright and airy space flooded with light, there is a modern, contemporary feel coupled with plenty of home comforts. With two large sofas and two armchairs encircling a coffee table and Smart TV, you can gather around with fresh mugs of your favourite beverage for a natter or catch up on the news. Complete with a wood burner-effect electric fire and great views onto the gravelled garden, you can let yourselves totally unwind. If you are a bit of a foodie, you will love the large kitchen area. With a row of worktops and appliances on one side and breakfast bar on the other, there is plenty of space to create a culinary showstopper or sit with a magazine and a mountain of buttery toast. Home to a microwave, a toaster, a kettle, an oven and electric hob, a fridge/freezer and a dishwasher, all stages of meal prep are looked after – including the washing up! Also on the ground floor is a downstairs WC. Heading upstairs, you will come to the property’s family  bathroom which has a bath with a shower overhead and a heated towel rail. Also on the first floor are three bedrooms, featuring a double with its own en-suite shower room, a compact double and a single room; bedtimes will be a real treat.

Outside, an enclosed gravelled garden has outdoor furniture and a BBQ, ideal for summer days. There are also shared recreational lawns nearby, as well as dedicated off-road parking for two cars.

Lovely Barn set in a peaceful countryside setting. Well equipped, clean and well located for exploring the Jurassic coast beaches and towns. We had a lovely mini break!

The barn was quiet, the beds were very comfortable, and it was very warm and cosy. The "black book" was not left out so finding the switch for the dishwasher (hidden behind the bread bin) and the emersion heater took some time. We eventually found it in the coffee table drawer on the forth day!! The cooker is very difficult to understand. The setteRead morees are worn, very low and uncomfortable Hide

Perfect location. Spotless well equipped accommodation. As we went in winter we found the warmth of the cottage superb.

This is a lovely cottage in a great location. We loved being able to walk down to Seatown beach. The Ancher inn is nice for drinks & food. There is a good walk over the hills to West Bay. This cottage has everything you could need. Internet isnt the quickest & could do with the sofa being a bit more comfortable, maybe more cushions required. Its veRead morery quiet which is lovely, its near to lots of places to visit. We went to Monkey World & Sea life in Weymouth. Hide
