About this property

This detached property sits in a country location on the outskirts of Weymouth, Dorset. Beautifully presented over three floors, The Grainstore is a great place to call home whilst exploring this region of Dorset. Upon arrival, step through the entrance door into the tiled hall. Continue through to the kitchen, where the chef of the group is sure to be impressed, equipped with an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge, freezer and even a washing machine, so you can easily pop your clothes on a spin. Serve the fruits of your labour at the dining table, complemented with a bottle of fizz and a toast to a long-awaited break with your nearest and dearest. Carry the conversation into the lounge, where you can slump on the sofa and tune into the Smart TV. Venture up to the first-floor, housing the first bedroom with a king-size bed and lavish en-suite shower room, whilst there is also another lounge. Continue to the second-floor where you can discover the remaining bedrooms, including two king-sizes, both with zip/link features for added flexibility, and a single. Take the day outside and relish in a moment on the patio furniture, contemplating where next to explore. Situated in the historic area of Upwey, the local pub The Old Ship Inn is just a short walk away. When you’re ready to explore, take off to the centre of Weymouth and begin your adventures at the SEA LIFE Centre, immersing yourself in the underwater world, or head to the glorious beach with its long arc of fine golden sands, where the little ones can look forward to donkey rides and adults can find a peaceful spot for soaking up the sun. After building up an appetite, take your pick from a range of fantastic eateries in Weymouth. If walking is on your agenda, the expanse of the Dorset AONB awaits, including the scenic South Dorset Ridgeway. However you choose to spend your time, a holiday at The Grainstore is sure to bring fond memories.

Weymouth, a well-known resort, is an excellent year-round vacation spot with a wide range of attractions that are suitable for visitors of all ages and inclinations. The beautiful, lively harbour offers frequent fishing expeditions, while the beaches' gorgeous, golden sand offer first-rate facilities for all kinds of watersports. You can reach Portland Harbour and the untamed "Isle" of Portland, which is connected to Weymouth by the breathtaking Chesil Beach, after a little drive. Only 7 miles away is Thomas Hardy's "Casterbridge" in Dorchester. You may also travel the beautiful coastline route and stop at Abbotsbury Swannery and Subtropical Gardens. Alternatively, simply go to West Bay and take in the breathtaking vistas of the Dorset Heritage Coastline!
