A charming former mill dating back to the 1800s, offering a contemporary home-from-home in the heart of the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and within easy reach of the Jurassic Coast.
One of four cottages located within a former cider and flax mill in a picturesque valley. Enjoy peace and tranquillity, surrounded by winding paths, a butterfly meadow and a gently flowing stream. A welcoming country pub is within 1 mile and a handy shop is within 2 miles. With plenty of open countryside on your doorstep, you can spend your days uncovering the picturesque walking trails or head to the coast. Just 6.5 miles away sits the attractive West Bay, home to the wonderful Golden Cap beach, rugged cliff tops and a collection of shops and eateries. Venture a little further afield and travel 16 miles to arrive in Lyme Regis, with its museums and the rocky beachfront of Monmouth Beach.
Step through the stable door into a light-filled double aspect open-plan space compromising of the kitchen, lounge and dining area. Complete with original features including vaulted double height ceilings and a traditional wood burner, this space is all on one level and perfect for the chillier months. The contemporary kitchen comes with all the mod-cons you’ll need to cook up a storm before enjoying your creations in the dining area. Fire up the wood burner and retreat to the lounge area to unwind in front of the Smart TV or lose yourself in a read from the bookshelf. Of an evening, retreat to the restful en-suite double bedroom (new mattress for 2022) boasting plush furnishings, a double height ceiling and tiled floor, to offer a peaceful night’s sleep. The en-suite shower room is a wonderful refresher following a day along the coast.
There’s much to be appreciated outside also. Stepping out into the private and enclosed lawned garden, there are two terraces with seating areas and a BBQ – perfect for al fresco dining during the summer months. Venture over the small footbridge crossing the stream and enjoy the sloping communal gardens too which boast winding paths, a butterfly meadow and a tranquil stream (unfenced). There is off-road parking for two cars.
