Set among freshwater lakes and a nature reserve, this contemporary holiday home in Dorset suits families and groups of friends who want the county’s coast and countryside within easy reach. Four bedrooms and an open-plan living space warmed by a wood burner give everyone room to spread out and somewhere to come back together at the end of the day, while the wider development’s shared facilities sit nearby.
The open-plan living area forms the ground floor, with sofa seating and a Smart TV arranged around the wood burner at one end, and a rustic dining table with room for the whole group beside the kitchen at the other. Colourful interiors run throughout. Sliding doors from the lounge open onto the enclosed rear decked terrace. Stairs lead up to the bedrooms, where two king-size doubles each has an en-suite shower room, joined by a bunk bedroom and a single bedroom. The family bathroom has a bath and WC, and a separate WC completes the layout and adds convenience for any group. On the terrace, outdoor furniture seats eight for al fresco dining, and a charcoal BBQ is provided. Parking for one car is directly beside the property, with EV charging and further parking nearby.
Dorchester lies 6 miles away, where museums, independent shops and characterful streets reveal the area’s absorbing heritage. The Osmington White Horse is cut into the chalk hillside 6 miles from the property, and the Iron Age ramparts of Maiden Castle rise 9 miles away. Weymouth (10 miles) brings golden sands and a busy promenade along with family attractions, and Lulworth Cove sits at the same distance along the Jurassic Coast. Chesil Beach and its long shingle shoreline are 15 miles away, with Swanage a further stretch of coast at 21 miles.
