Situated in a central spot within a charming lakeside development, this spacious, fresh and inviting property makes a wonderful holiday retreat for larger families and groups of friends keen to explore a stunning part of Dorset. The estate lies in a tranquil spot just 6.5 miles east of the historic county town of Dorchester which is home to attractions and landmarks including Borough Gardens, the Roman Tower House, Maumbury Rings and Max Gate – formerly the home of Thomas Hardy. A breathtaking stretch of the Jurassic Coast is within easy reach, with Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove and Osmington Mills all within 10 miles. The bustling resort of Weymouth (9 miles) has a variety of great pubs and restaurants alongside RSPB Radipole Lake, Newton’s Cove and Bennetts Water Gardens. Maiden Castle, Hardy’s Cottage and the Osmington White Horse are all within 8 miles.
Entering this generous hideaway, the tastefully presented open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner has been elegantly furnished and decorated in light soothing shades to offer a relaxing backdrop for a memorable holiday. In one corner the cheery lounge has a TV and plush seating, perfect for relaxing after a fabulous day out. At the heart of the room the main dining table is perfect for hosting a family celebration, and, to the rear, the sleek kitchen sits beneath a skylight set in the high ceiling, featuring ample equipment, a useful island and plenty of storage and workspace. The ground floor also hosts the first of the property’s four restful bedrooms: a pretty double alongside a useful shower room. Heading upstairs, you will find the invigorating main family bathroom and the three remaining bedrooms: a delightful double-bunk bedroom with space for four children, a lovely en-suite double with a Juliet balcony and dressing table, and finally a beautiful suite with a super-king-size bed, TV, dressing table, fitted wardrobes, an en-suite shower room and a charming private balcony.
From the lounge, sliding doors lead out onto a sunny decked terrace with ample outdoor furniture and a BBQ, offering a fantastic spot to settle back and dine alfresco on a summer’s afternoon. In addition, a generous lawn wraps around the property. Parking is available for two cars directly outside, with further parking spaces in the main car park.
