A former stables located within tranquil grounds, this ideal property for couples has history and character aplenty with all of today's modern comforts thrown in.

This property is a delightful former stable with a light and airy interior on the edge of the village of Winfrith Newburgh. Situated within the owner’s grounds, you have complete privacy and can take in the pretty long avenue of Lime Trees from the seating area on the patio. You’re in an enviable location for a couples’ retreat with the coast 4 miles away and the local pub just 1 mile away.

Enter the cottage through French doors from the terrace into the spacious open-plan living area, where warm tones welcome you to sit back in front of the TV or look out across the grounds. Fix yourself a snack in the kitchen area where you’ll find everything you need and enjoy it sitting at the table that’s perfect for two. The bathroom has pretty neutral tiles in the shower and over the sink, giving it a rustic feel. Upstairs, the king-sized bedroom has plenty of light and stunning wooden beams that remind you of this property’s former use; mind your head on the eaves. Snuggle up with a film on the TV/DVD in the evening after a busy day. Outside, there are wildflowers and a lawn to each side of the driveway, and climbing plants, flowerbeds and herbs on the patio make it a peaceful spot to watch the sun go down on the wooden bench.

Coastal and countryside walks are all available from this cottage; walk the South West Coast Path from Durdle Door (3 miles) to Lulworth Cove (4 miles) or even further for breathtaking views and blue seas. Or take the ‘Scratchy Bottom’ route to see vast countryside views and a glimpse of Portland.

An avenue of lime trees, a large paddock, the cottage beautifully styled and appointed, peace, freedom and privacy for our dog and us alike we wanted for nothing.

If you are going to cook the facilities are limited. The grounds were greatly appreciated by our dog who enjoyed her morning and evening runs. The view with the avenue of trees was lovely, but it was very shaded and cool if you wanted to sit on the patio.
