This impressive and luxurious property provides a relaxing retreat for groups of friends or families looking for a break in beautiful West Dorset. It’s set on a private lakeside estate full of wildlife, so you can reconnect with nature while you’re here, and partake in water-based activities like paddleboarding, kayaking and wild swimming. Explore 15.5 hectares of unspoilt grounds on foot or by bike, play tennis, swim in the heated outdoor pool then relax in the restaurant or sauna. When it’s time to tear yourself away from this idyllic spot, the world-famous Jurassic Coast is just 6 miles south. Visit the historic county town of Dorchester (6 miles) to immerse yourself in history. Have a seaside day at Weymouth (10 miles) and Chesil Beach (15 miles), and visit spots like Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door, the Osmington White Horse and Maiden Castle, all within 10 miles.
This chic retreat is furnished for comfort and relaxation, with pale walls, wooden floors and large windows with smart, dark frames. The heart of this beautiful home from home is its open-plan living space, which has a wood burner to keep you all cosy in the evenings. The ultra-contemporary kitchen includes high-quality appliances, with a dishwasher for convenience and a Nespresso-compatible coffee machine to make that essential morning cup of coffee. A breakfast bar provides a perch for two people to chat with the cook, and there’s a dining area with a table for six. After supper, stretch out on the soft seating in the lounge area, making the most of views of the garden or enjoying a favourite show on the Smart TV. In good weather, open the patio doors and enjoy the connection to the outdoors. The ground floor is completed by a utility/boot room with storage space for coats and shoes, washer/dryer and a handy WC. The four bedrooms have all been furnished with a good night's sleep in mind, and include comfortable mattresses and built-in wardrobes. The two king-size bedrooms have en-suite shower rooms, one boasting gorgeous views across the lakes and the other a balcony with table and chairs overlooking the garden. The two single bedrooms, with pretty wooden beds and co-ordinated furnishings, share a family bathroom.
A great bonus of this property is its huge garden, which gives you direct access to the estate’s pretty sculpture garden. Watch children play on the lawn as you sit back with a book or a drink on the deck which runs along the back of the house, looking out for the local wildlife. There’s also a picnic bench where you can dine alfresco on long summer evenings, perhaps grilling something delicious on the BBQ as you make the most of this tranquil haven. You’ll have private parking for one car at the property, with further spaces in the main site car park.
