Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This beautiful cottage is surrounded by peaceful farmland and gardens. It’s tucked away on a working farm just outside of a small village, close to Sherborne and Shaftesbury. It’s a great choice for a family seeking real rest and relaxation – and a spot of hiking. The cottage is cosy and comfortable, with a wood-burning stove for chilly weather. When the sun is shining, you’ll enjoy dining alfresco in the courtyard or soaking in the hot tub.

About Dorset
If you want to immerse yourself in the England of yesteryear, a trip to the county of Dorset is a good place to start. The author Thomas Hardy seemed to concur – he drew heavily on his experience growing up around these parts to create the fictionalised rural idyll of Wessex that was the setting for many of his books. It’s fair to say that not too much has changed...
