Features

Come through to the outside porch and find yourself within the large, airy light-filled central hall, with wide wooden stairs that lead to the impressive bright airy first-floor sitting room, exposed A-frame beams, large log burner and spectacular southerly views across the valley to the sea at Charmouth. Three of the bedrooms are on this floor.

Garden

The south-facing private garden features an outside seating area with glorious views across the Dorset countryside to Charmouth and the sea. Excellent walks are quite literally on your doorstep, along with the unspoilt Dorset/East Devon coastline, just 2 miles away.

Downstairs 

From the hall, turn into the large hand-built modern oak and granite-topped kitchen overlooking the garden. A large four-oven Aga is the heart of the kitchen, filling the space with a beautiful ambient warmth, ideal for drying socks after a long walk!

During the warmer months, enjoy a gentle breeze by opening the stable doors that overlook the private garden; the site of the medieval monastery whose footings can be seen on the stone wall. Everything that is required to cook and host a large family dinner is included: dishwasher, air fryer, bread maker, coffee machine, washing machine (utility room), tumble dryer, microwave, fridge, and freezer.

Breakfast can be eaten at the kitchen table or moved into the dining area which can seat up to 10/12 guests and overlooks the front lawn and valley.

Take the oak staircase to the first floor and be amazed by the vaulted ceiling first-floor living area which comfortably seats all your guests, with views of the valley and the sea at Charmouth. There’s a flat-screen TV on which you can watch the many free streamed channels. During the winter, enjoy the warmth of the large wood burner, while in the summer you can feel the sea breeze fill the airy room.

On the first floor, you’ll find three of the en-suite bedrooms. The large, impressive master suite with a king-sized four-poster bed, en-suite bathroom and a comfortable seating area looking out through the floor-to-ceiling windows and overlooking the valley.  The second bedroom has a double bed with an en-suite shower and a view of the valley. The third bedroom has 2 twin beds and a bath with shower en-suite.

Returning downstairs to the ground floor, you will find bedrooms 4 and 5. This is often used as a family suite or general guest sleeping area. This includes a double bed overlooking the internal courtyard and a further large bedroom with two twin beds, a seating area, and a private courtyard viewed out of the floor-to-ceiling windows. These rooms are serviced by a shower bathroom.
