Nestled in the picturesque countryside of Dorset, this charming Grade II listed farmhouse offers a unique retreat for families and groups, accommodating up to 13 guests across its seven bedrooms. Set on 17 acres of rolling land near the quaint town of Beaminster, the property features a range of amenities designed for comfort and leisure, including a spacious sitting room, a dining room that seats 12-14, and a cozy children’s playroom filled with toys and entertainment options. The farmhouse is a mere 15 minutes from the stunning Jurassic coast, allowing guests to explore beautiful beaches while being within walking distance of the village and its award-winning restaurants.
The heart of the home is its large kitchen, characterized by an original flagstone floor and a traditional four-door Aga, which provides ample space for cooking and gathering. The kitchen is designed to accommodate large groups, with additional tables available for meals. Adjacent to the kitchen, the playroom is a delightful space for children, ensuring they have plenty of activities to keep them engaged. The property also boasts a flagstoned hall that connects various rooms, including a dining area with a wood burner and a baby grand piano, enhancing the farmhouse's warm and inviting atmosphere.
Upstairs, guests will find a variety of sleeping arrangements, including three double rooms, a single room, and a twin room, along with two bathrooms equipped for convenience. A unique feature of the farmhouse is the attic area, which serves as a large playroom and includes a double bedroom, catering to both relaxation and fun. The farmhouse is described as a lived-in family home rather than a sterile rental, with the owners residing there most of the year and only renting out during specific times, such as August and Christmas. This personal touch adds to the homey feel of the space.
Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the farmhouse is well-positioned for outdoor adventures. Nearby attractions include Mapperton Gardens and the Lyme Regis Marine Aquarium, while families can enjoy activities such as kayaking, windsurfing, hiking, and rock climbing. The property also features free-range chickens, which add to the rustic charm and provide fresh eggs for guests. With its blend of comfort, scenic surroundings, and family-friendly amenities, this farmhouse offers an ideal getaway for those looking to experience the tranquility of the English countryside.
