Immaculately decorated, this contemporary stone house has a luxury finish and room for all the family in a village location – yet is only 4 miles from the coast.

Located in the charming village of Harmans Cross, within the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this modern property is close to everything Dorset has to offer and enjoys stunning countryside views towards the Purbeck Hills. The village itself offers basic amenities as well as a station where steam trains from Swanage stop after puffing through the valley. Swanage is only 3.5 miles away and offers a wider range of facilities as well as access to the beautiful Dorset coastline, including a safe and sandy beach. Kids will love Putland Adventure Farm (2 miles), a working farm where they can meet the animals, ride on tractors and enjoy the outdoor playground. Further up the coast – 6 miles from the property – is Studland where you can spot Old Harry Rocks off the coast or explore the Studland and Godlingston Heath National Nature Reserve.

Enter into the hall where there’s space for the whole family to leave their coats and boots. Then step into the open-plan kitchen/dining room which has a triple aspect to maximise the countryside views. The kitchen area is modern and stylish, with a double oven, a hob, a dishwasher, a fridge, a kettle and toaster. Seating at the breakfast bar and a sofa ensure that there’s plenty of opportunity for socialising while cooking. There’s room for everyone at the dining table or open the patio doors to the rear patio if you want to dine alfresco. The lounge has contemporary styling with plenty of comfortable sofas to sink into after a busy day exploring the Dorset coastline. Light the wood burner in its stone hearth on chilly nights and flick through channels on the Smart TV. A utility room and a separate cloakroom are handy for large families. When it’s time for bed, climb the stairs to the first floor where four sumptuous bedrooms await: two king-size rooms (one with country views), a twin room and a single room, all with neutral, calming décor. The two king-size rooms boast their own en-suite shower rooms, so there’s no need to queue in the morning. There’s also a family bathroom with a handheld shower attachment.

There’s ample space outside, too, where you can truly enjoy the countryside setting. At the front of the property is a large paved area for off-road parking, while the rear terrace has a large patio and an area of lawn offering panoramic countryside views. There is a charcoal BBQ available for guests to use.

Fieldfare is a really lovely house, in a perfect location for exploring the area. The buses that run from the end of the road are really good value, cheaper than paying parking fees. Despite the weather, which was not kind to us, we had a lovely week and would definitely consider a return visit

This is a large spacious property with parking in a quiet spot with lovely views. It is comfortable and well equipped though you do need a car to get to facilities. Good to watch the steam trains and convenient for visits to Swanage, Wareham and the coast. We love it here and will return.
