Located in Wareham, Dorset in the South West of England, this spacious property sleeps up to 6 guests and features an open fire. Situated on the outskirts of Wareham Forest, the cottage is an ideal base for exploring the area. Visitors can enjoy activities such as hiring boats, kayaks, and paddle boards in the historic walled town of Wareham, as well as exploring the Jurassic Coast. The property offers easy access to walking and cycling routes, as well as attractions like the Tank Museum, Monkey World, and Corfe Castle.
Originally part of the Trigon Estate and built in the late 1800s, the property is accessed via an unmade track and gravel driveway. The detached former farm workers cottage has been carefully extended, offering plenty of space for guests. The reception hall includes a utility room with a shower and WC, perfect for cleaning up after outdoor activities. The spacious lounge features a wood burner and French doors overlooking the garden, while a cosy snug provides additional relaxation space. The open plan kitchen/diner is well-equipped with modern amenities, including a range style cooker, American style fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and microwave.
Upstairs, there are three inviting bedrooms - a king size, a double with a feature fireplace, and a twin with a full-size cot. The bedrooms are decorated for a comfortable night's sleep. A stylish bathroom with a bath and separate shower completes the first floor. Outside, the south-facing garden offers a large lawn for family activities and a BBQ area. The garden overlooks the forest and provides a sense of seclusion, with local wildlife like deer, foxes, and badgers often seen. The garden is not fully enclosed, so caution is advised with children and pets. Parking is available for up to four cars in the gravel parking area at the front of the cottage.
