  • Charming 18th-century cottage with a sunny rear garden with terrace ideal for summer barbecues
  • Tranquil and peaceful location situated on a no-through lane
  • Less than one mile from the sea and an easy walk to farm shop and café
Property code: DC132

Stunning 18th-century cottage with many period features and beautifully handcrafted bespoke kitchen, located conveniently for access to the coast and the famous White Horse.

Full of original charm, this end-of-row 18th-century cottage sits just half a mile from the sea at Osmington. Inside, original features abound with exposed stone, beams and fireplaces, while outside the sunny rear garden backs onto a grassy footpath. Set out on foot and stroll into the village, stock up on local delicacies at the farm shop before heading south to the coast at Osmington Mills (0.5 miles) for a picnic on the beach or a long walk along the South West Coast Path.

Retaining its original bread oven and inglenook fireplace, the kitchen/diner is brimming with character. Bespoke handmade kitchen worktops, an oak dining table and a delightful window seat add to this room’s charm. Next door, a more contemporary lounge has been finished with fresh neutral decor, oak flooring, a wood burner for cosy evenings in and French doors to the garden for sunny days. Upstairs, the three bedrooms are all beamed, with views over the garden to the wooded hillside beyond. Stepping outside, a sunny patio area with garden furniture leads to a good-sized lawn area surrounded by flower beds and shrubs, setting the scene for relaxing summer BBQs. There is ample parking.

Surrounded by beautiful unspoilt Dorset countryside, this property is perfect for keen walkers. After a stroll to see the famous White Horse on the South Dorset Downs, head to the coast at Osmington Mills for a hearty lunch with a view at the Smugglers Inn. Beach lovers do not have far to go, with the sandy stretch at Weymouth just 5.5 miles away and the stunning white pebble bay at Lulworth Cove just 11 miles to the east.

We had a wonderful weekend at Rosedale Cottage, it is clean, comfortable and beautifully equipped. There was a generous bottle of wine and all the essentials, such as milk, tea, coffee to start us off. The garden is beautiful, I just wish that we could have stayed for longer, it was such a pleasant, relaxing experience

The cottage was brilliant, to a very high standard, with plenty of room to accommodate 6 people, and could not fault it. Had a very nice rear garden area. Comprehensive range of equipment and utensils provided. The only downside was although storage space there was no cupboard to store own food such as tinned food and cereals etc. More than adequatRead moree fridge/freezer space however. Hide

The cottage is very comfortable and well equiped. It is full of character, as you expect for a building of this age. The garden is small but private, the location being very peaceful. We found it ideally located for exploring the local area and if we visit the area again it would be our first choice location.

We really enjoyed our stay in Rosedale which is a genuine old cottage in a quiet location, it is well positioned for anyone who enjoys walking as there are plenty of paths most involving hills with good views.
