Tucked away on a quiet, private road in the picturesque hamlet of Osmington Mill, this inviting property sits in an elevated spot, close to the iconic Jurassic Coast. With easy access to the South West Coast Path, it's a superb base for a couple or a small family to explore some of England’s most dramatic seaside scenery.

Set within a generous third of an acre, this welcoming home combines comfort with a peaceful countryside setting. Lovingly maintained gardens greet you on arrival, creating a sense of calm. Inside, the inner hallway doubles as a snug with a TV and Wii console – great for both children and adults. The ground-floor kitchen is fully equipped for casual or celebratory cooking, and the dining room at the rear overlooks the garden, offering a bright spot for leisurely breakfasts or evening meals. The lounge is the heart of the home, with a wood burner, sofas, and a Smart TV for cosy nights in. Also on the ground floor are two bedrooms – a double and a single – along with the main bathroom with a shower over the bath, plus a handy utility room for longer stays. Upstairs, the master king-size bedroom includes a balcony with garden views and its own en-suite shower room, alongside a single bedroom. Outside, the expansive garden is the perfect place for morning coffee, evening drinks, stargazing, or letting children roam freely. Parking for two cars is available on either side of the property, and the access lane accommodates medium to large-sized vehicles.

Rugged cliffs, sweeping bays, and fossil-strewn beaches make this stretch of coast a haven for walkers, wildlife watchers, or anyone seeking a tranquil retreat. You’ll find Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door, and Ringstead Bay all within 6 miles of your door. Stop by the local farm shop or the cliffside pub at Osmington Mills, or head 5 miles to Weymouth with its sandy beach, historic harbour, cafes, and shops. Dorchester, the county town, is 8 miles away.

V clean, quiet & peaceful. Well equipped kitchen & sunny dining room. Nice garden. House a little dated but it is a good base for visiting many different local sites of interest & entertainment. Comfortable beds & plenty of hot water. Parking not easy especially with larger cars but do not let this put you off as it is do able.

Love this house! The back garden is lovely. The location is peaceful and secluded. The house is a good size and well-equipped. The two parking bays are tight to get into / out of, if you've got a large SUV like ours, but for most cars they're fine - so don't let this comment put you off.
