Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Make yourself at home in rural Dorset, where you’ll find this charming country house. It’s a special place in every season – from swimming pool summers to cosy winter evenings in the games room. Little ones can look forward to roaming the two acres of gardens and playing on the swings, while grown-ups will enjoy the wood-fired hot tub. And guests of all ages will love the location. It’s a short drive to shops and riverside pubs in pretty Wareham, and less than half an hour from clifftop walks and scenic beaches on the Jurassic Coast.

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...
