This 18th-century cottage sits just 50 yards from the beach at Seatown and enjoys spectacular sea and countryside views. Inside, the property has been tastefully renovated to include neutral tones, painted antique furniture and carefully coordinated soft furnishings, while outside a sun-trap terrace has been finished with a chiminea for those long summer evenings. When you’re not dining alfresco in the garden, stroll along the fossil-rich shingle beach or tuck into a hearty meal at the highly acclaimed local pub which is just a stone's throw from the cottage. Alternatively you can pre-order meals from the pub to be delivered to the cottage (further details in the 'need to know').
Inside, a delightful lounge is at the heart of this elegant home. With a wood burner for chilly evenings, stylish and plump sofas, Smart TV and door opening onto the terrace, this is a wonderful room in which to spend quality time with family all year round. Next door, a bespoke kitchen displays Annie Sloan painted units, oak worktops and a Belfast sink, while upstairs via winding cottage-style stairs, the timeless bedrooms feature window seats with sea views, upcycled antique furniture and Victorian fireplaces. When the sun is shining, take to the rear terrace surrounded by pretty shrubs. There are two dedicated parking spaces.
Popular among fossil hunters, Seatown Beach is a lovely long stretch of shingle backed by the Ridge cliff. Stroll along the beach itself or set out along the coastal path above towards Thorncombe Beacon (1 mile) and Eype (2.5 miles), with breathtaking views along the way. Just 1 mile inland from Seatown lies the small hilly village of Chideock, home to a popular pub and Post Office, with a farm shop and tea room in neighbouring Morcombelake (2 miles).
