4 Bed Cottage in West Lulworth

About this property

Making a light and elegant holiday retreat for up to ten guests, this chic, fresh and tastefully presented hideaway is perfect for walkers, beach lovers, cyclists, hikers and nature spotters exploring an unforgettable part of Dorset. The property sits in a tranquil spot on the outskirts of the picturesque village of West Lulworth, just half a mile from the coastline. The immediate area has plenty to see, with St Oswald's Bay, Stair Hole, Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door all within a mile. Heading inland, the historic riverside town of Wareham (9 miles) is surrounded by Saxon-era walls and features a lively quay alongside a wealth of great pubs and restaurants. Other local attractions and landmarks include Farmer Palmer's Farm Park, RSPB Arne, The Blue Pool, Sculpture by the Lakes and Hardy's Cottage, all within 14 miles.

The property is reached via double electric gates leading to a large parking area. Entering this fantastic holiday home, the welcoming hallway leads through to the spacious, light-filled open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, making a wonderful space for you all to unwind in at the end of a memorable day. The cosy lounge offers ample seating with a Smart TV and charming views from the floor-to-ceiling windows. Further views can be enjoyed from the elegantly arranged dining area with a handsome central table, which leads across to the sleek, fully equipped kitchen with its central island. Exploring the ground floor further, you will find a useful shower room, a convenient utility room and a cosy, colourfully decorated snug with another Smart TV and further seating, ideal for a quiet night in. An elegant glass-balustraded staircase takes you up to the first floor, where you will have a choice of four bright and inviting bedrooms, all with sumptuous super-king-size beds. The first two bedrooms share a delightful balcony offering stunning views. All the bedrooms have en-suite facilities: the first with a stylish bath and separate shower, the other three each with a refreshing shower. The final bedroom is a family room; in addition to the super-king-size bed (can be made into twins on request), there's a useful bunk bed with a single bunk above a double.

Stepping outside, the generous wraparound garden features three shallow ponds connected by a stream. A charming seating area is perfect for a BBQ and features a double-sided table for playing pool or table tennis. Heading up a steepish slope, the elevated open summer house is a delightful spot for enjoying a drink and taking in the surrounding views. An additional decked area provides a quiet spot for catching the sun, and there's even a zip line across the garden (to be used at your own risk). Off-road parking is available for five cars.
