Property code: OC-S45189

Tucked away in the peaceful surroundings of a stunning private estate complex, this splendid getaway provides an ideal base for a memory-making adventure amid the breathtaking scenery of the Jurassic Coast. Set among freshwater lakes and an idyllic nature reserve, it’s the perfect escape for families and groups seeking space to relax and reconnect with nature. Discover the choice of activities on site, with the opportunity for water sports including kayaking and paddleboarding, a shared heated outdoor pool, a shared sauna and winding nature trails all available from the doorstep. Enjoy a bucket and spade coastal adventure at the golden sands of Weymouth Beach and shingly Chesil Beach, both reached within 16.5 miles. Nestled against rolling hills, charming Swanage (22.5 miles), offers the perfect blend of coast and countryside, boasting the sandy shores of Swanage Beach and a delightful Heritage Railway leading to historic Corfe Castle.

The heart of this refined home-from-home can be found in the spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. A stylish, contemporary finish adds a sense of sophistication that reflects the elegance of the grounds that surround you. Wonderfully large windows let in plenty of natural light and offer stunning views of the surrounding nature, making it a bright and welcoming space to relax together, especially with the homely glow of the roaring wood burner. Plush seating is perfectly placed for you to sit back and enjoy the view. The sleek kitchen has been designed with budding chefs in mind, boasting everything required to rustle up a hearty breakfast, or a local feast that can be enjoyed with the whole party seated around the dining table. Upstairs, you’ll find three beautifully designed bedrooms that each provide a peaceful retreat at the end of a busy day’s adventure. The king-size bedroom, twin bedroom and bunk bedroom share a crisp, neutral colour palette that sets the scene for relaxation. One of the bedrooms also benefits from a stylish en-suite shower room, with the spacious family bathroom also on this level.

Soak up the serenity of your lakeside setting by dining alfresco on the decked terrace, which boasts a BBQ, ideal for entertaining and grilling up some local delicacies. Outside, the estate invites you to reconnect with the great outdoors. Spend your days exploring the lake aboard a kayak or paddleboard, or cycle along scenic trails beginning from your doorstep. For those looking to relax, the shared heated outdoor pool and on-site spa offer a perfect place to unwind, while children will love the shared playground and outdoor activities. There is private parking available for one car, with additional parking available at the main car park.
