The charming cottage located on the outskirts of Wareham Forest in Wareham, Dorset, offers a spacious retreat perfect for families or groups of up to six. Its prime position allows for easy exploration of the historic town of Wareham, where visitors can enjoy activities such as boat, kayak, and paddleboard rentals along the river, as well as a variety of local dining options in pubs and cafes. Additionally, the renowned Jurassic Coast is within reach, making it an ideal base for outdoor enthusiasts eager to discover the area's stunning landscapes through walking and cycling routes. Attractions like the Tank Museum, Monkey World, and the picturesque village of Corfe Castle provide entertainment for visitors of all ages.
This former farm workers' cottage, built in the late 1800s and part of the Trigon Estate, features a rustic charm enhanced by modern comforts. Accessed via an unmade track and gravel driveway, the property welcomes guests with a reception hall that includes a utility room equipped with a shower and WC, providing a practical space for cleaning up after outdoor adventures. The spacious lounge, extending from the front to the back of the cottage, boasts a cozy wood burner, making it an inviting area for relaxation after a day of exploration. French doors open to the garden, allowing for a seamless connection with nature.
The interior layout includes a snug area that connects the lounge to a well-equipped open-plan kitchen/diner, featuring modern appliances such as a range-style cooker, American-style fridge/freezer, and dishwasher. This space is designed for family gatherings, with a dining table positioned for leisurely meals together. The first floor accommodates three thoughtfully decorated bedrooms—a king-size, a double with a feature fireplace, and a twin room with a full-size cot—ensuring a restful night’s sleep. A stylish bathroom completes this level, featuring both a bath and a generous separate shower.
Outside, the cottage offers a delightful south-facing garden, perfect for family activities and barbecues, set within a plot of over half an acre that provides a sense of seclusion amidst nature. The garden, while expansive and inviting, retains some wild areas where local wildlife such as deer, foxes, and badgers may be spotted. Guests should note that certain parts of the garden may be less accessible due to stinging nettles, and while the garden is spacious, it is not fully enclosed, necessitating supervision for children and pets. Ample parking for four cars is available in the gravel area at the front of the property, enhancing the convenience of this idyllic getaway.
