This detached two-storey retreat in Dorset sits within a private estate with lakes, woodland and a nature reserve – a lovely setting for families or groups of friends. You’ll be just 6 miles from the Jurassic Coast and the South West Coast Path, opening up plenty of opportunities for exploration. On the site itself, you can play tennis, go kayaking and paddleboarding on the lake and relax in the sauna. Nature trails begin from the door, and you can hire bikes if you fancy it.
The ground floor is open-plan, with a living area centred on a wood burner and Smart TV. The kitchen has marble-finish worktops, plus a breakfast bar for four and dining table for six overlooking the back garden. Upstairs, the king-size bedroom has a TV, an en-suite shower room and doors leading out the rear balcony. The second bedroom is a double, while the third bedroom holds a double bed with a single bunk above. A family bathroom completes the indoor space. Back downstairs, patio doors lead out to a private deck with outdoor seating, looking over a lawn. Parking for one car is available on the driveway, with further spaces in the main site car park.
Nearby, you’ll find a shop for picking up supplies in nearby Crossroads (0.5 miles) and a pub a little further away (1.5 miles). Dorchester (6 miles) combines Roman history with independent shops, while Weymouth (10 miles) is fab for a traditional day beside the sea. Maiden Castle, with its fascinating Iron Age hillforts, is 9 miles from the door. The Osmington White Horse overlooks the surrounding countryside 6 miles away. For a day by the sea, head 56.5 miles to Ringstead Bay, where a sweeping stretch of sand sits beneath geologically fascinating cliffs and the South West Coast Path.
