Shedbush Farm House

Nr Bridport, Dorset

Shedbush Farm House is one of a collection of former 17th-century farm buildings nestled at the base of a valley. Surrounding this historic property is a cider house, stable, granary, milking shed, cow shed and barn, it’s a real escape from the city. Adding to its country charm, exposed beams, low ceilings and rustic barn doors run throughout the three-bedroom cottage. 

Step out of the front door and you’ll be greeted with far-reaching views over to Golden Cap, while the half acre of land that surrounds the cottage is perfect for kids who want to let off a little steam. 

The nearby coastline is littered with secluded coves and family-friendly beaches. If you’re a fan of the popular TV programme Broadchurch, you can’t pass up on the opportunity to visit West Bay, where the show was filmed. From here, you can hop onto the South West Coast Path for long hikes along the headlands of the Jurassic Coast.
