From its majestic woodland and ye-old country pubs to the burgeoning art and culinary scene, Dorset makes the perfect setting for a quintessential countryside getaway all year round. And in the peaceful village of Corfe Mullen, just a short drive from the Jurassic coastline, this family home has everything you could need to experience the delights of rural living. Set across two floors, the owners have styled the space to feel like a minimalist sanctuary. From the cool grey tones to the simple furnishings and open-plan design, this is the kind of home that lends itself perfectly to intimate gatherings and restorative retreats. Slide open the doors from the living room and you’ll find the glorious garden welcoming you to enjoy the fresh Dorset air. Featuring a patio and barbecue alongside a luxurious hot tub, this is a wonderful spot to sit back and enjoy the magic of outdoor living. And when you’re ready to get warm, the cinema room invites you to enjoy a cosy night at the movies. Days can be spent hiking, cycling and soaking up the refreshing spirit of the sea from Sandbanks beach or Bournemouth. Take an icy dip, walk barefoot on the sand, savour delicious... local ice cream or head inland and wander the atmospheric streets of Wimborne Minster – just a short drive away.

About Poole
The coastal town of Poole is home to Europe's largest natural harbour. Wander around the historic quayside with its impressive ships and luxury powerboats, or admire the Georgian architecture in the Old Town. In the middle of Poole Harbour, tiny Brownsea Island, famous for Lord Baden-Powell's scout camps, contains paths that meander through beautiful woods and heaths, where you'll see red deer, peacocks and red squirrels. Make sure you stop...
