Marles Farmhouse, located near the picturesque Dorset villages of Salwayash and Waytown, offers a serene retreat on the edge of the stunning Marshwood Vale, an area recognized for its natural beauty within the Dorset National Landscape. This detached, stone-built family home accommodates up to 12 guests across its six bedrooms, making it an ideal choice for larger groups or families seeking a peaceful getaway. The property is approached via charming wooded lanes and is surrounded by lush green fields, providing a tranquil atmosphere with no nearby neighbors, as the owner resides in a converted dairy on-site.
Having undergone a complete refurbishment in 2015, Marles Farmhouse seamlessly combines modern amenities with the character of its 19th-century origins, featuring thick stone walls, beams, and an inviting fireplace. The owners have made significant efforts to enhance the property's sustainability, implementing features such as solid wall insulation, solar energy with battery storage, biomass heating, and electric vehicle charging. Ongoing improvements ensure that the home remains well-maintained, both inside and out, creating a welcoming environment for guests.
The heart of the home is a spacious, well-equipped kitchen adorned with polished granite surfaces and a range cooker, complemented by a dining area that accommodates everyone comfortably. Guests can unwind in the cozy sitting room by the wood-burning stove or engage in fun activities in the family/games room, which includes a table football, TV/DVD/Blu-ray, and a WiFi/Bluetooth music system. For those who enjoy music, the family piano offers a delightful opportunity for sing-alongs. The ground floor also features a twin bedroom and shower room, making it accessible for individuals with mobility challenges.
On the first floor, guests will find five additional bedrooms, all boasting lovely views of the surrounding gardens and fields. This includes two king-size doubles with en-suite shower rooms, two twin bedrooms that can be converted into doubles, and a family room with adult bunks, along with two more bathrooms to accommodate guests. Outside, a sun-drenched paved terrace with picnic benches and a barbecue invites al fresco dining, while the rear cottage garden provides a peaceful space for morning coffee amidst wildlife sightings. Families will appreciate the children’s climbing frame and swing, as well as the open-fronted garage equipped with table tennis. With excellent walking opportunities right at the doorstep and nearby attractions like the vibrant market town of Bridport and the stunning Dorset coast, Marles Farmhouse is perfectly situated for exploring the rich offerings of this captivating region.
