Cottage in Dorset

Beaminster is a picturesque town located in West Dorset, surrounded by beautiful countryside and only 7 miles away from the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The town itself has a friendly ambience and plenty of charming independent shops, cafes, and well regarded restaurants to visit. For nature lovers, there are many walking and cycling routes in the area, taking in the stunning Dorset Downs and Lewesdon Hill. Other nearby attractions include the historic town of Bridport, the popular beaches of Lyme Regis and West Bay, and Abbotsbury Swannery, all within 12 miles. With its blend of natural beauty and cultural attractions, Beaminster is the perfect base for a relaxing and memorable break. Situated just moments from the heart of the town, this spacious 17th century property retains charm and character throughout, featuring original fireplaces, mullion windows, high ceilings and light and airy rooms. The front door into this exceptional historic Grade II listed property will take you under the Wisteria and into a welcoming entrance hall. Hang your coat and step into the sitting room where the inglenook fireplace, complete with wood burner, awaits you. Enjoy this tasteful room with TV and a blend of contemporary and antique furnishings. As you make your way through the property you will find a sociable and spacious dining room which overlooks the garden and is perfect for leisurely meals together. A step up takes you into the adjoining country style kitchen, complete with Aga, where you can prepare your favourite meals. Should you need to work whilst you travel, a cosy study leads from the dining room. Books, games and puzzles are also available for you to enjoy. Why not start the day with an early morning coffee in the garden room which is flooded with natural light and overlooking the garden. Next to the kitchen sits a utility room, ideal for leaving boots and coats as you come in from the garden or a long walk with the dog. Heading back into the entrance hallway you will pass a separate WC before you reach the staircase that rises to the first floor. Every room has been decorated with the utmost care and attention to create a haven for relaxation. The Master bedroom is furnished with an inviting super king size bed and has its own en suite. The bathroom has recently been refurbished to a very high standard featuring a roll top bath very much in keeping with the character of the property. This room also has a dedicated dressing area. A further super king size bedroom can be found along the landing. Just as striking as the first bedroom this room boasts a stunning original fireplace and is served by a separate shower room. Completing this truly special property is a charming twin bedroom. This makes this cottage a great choice for friends and family wishing to holiday together. Heading back downstairs, a door leads from both the garden room and utility room into the pretty cottage style garden. Wander up the steps to the paved dining area tucked amongst the flora and fauna. This private space is a peaceful oasis where you can relax with a sundowner at the end of a day spent exploring. A second idyllic seating area can be found at the top of the garden. This enclosed spot is surrounded by blossoms and climbing roses and would be a wonderful spot to settle with a good book.
