Get your loved ones together for a getaway to remember at this lovely former coach house in the picture-perfect village of Charminster. Sitting at the centre of a conservation area, Charminster is steeped in history. Take a stroll to its superb Norman church, St Mary’s (80 metres), which is located directly over the River Cerne. Or organise a visit to Wolfeton House (500 metres), which dates back to 1480. This fine Grade I-listed medieval and Elizabethan house features magnificently carved oak panelling, plaster ceilings and fireplaces. Alternatively, spend a glorious day on Weymouth’s sandy beach (10 miles). Take a stroll along its magnificent Georgian seafront and stop off for a bite to eat at the historic harbour, which is lined with quaint restaurants, cafes, craft shops and beautiful pastel-coloured houses. Head into the pretty village of Cerne Abbas (6.5 miles) to see its famous Cerne Giant, a 55m-high ancient chalk figure carved into the sloping hillside, or make your way into Dorchester (2 miles) to visit the cottage of author Thomas Hardy.
Step through the double wooden entrance doors and you’ll find yourself in a homely property with plenty of interesting features. The entrance hall leads to the cosy living room – the perfect place to relax and unwind with your loved ones by the log-effect electric fire. When it’s time to eat, you’ll find everything you need to cook up a storm in the country-style kitchen/dining room. Spacious and sociable, this area features terracotta stone tiles and a pretty seating area. The addition of a handy utility room makes hosting an absolute breeze. A smart family bathroom rounds off the ground-floor layout. Upstairs, you’ll find two lovely bedrooms with pitched ceilings – one double with a skylight and full-length feature window, and one twin with a skylight. A small cloakroom with a WC with a sliding door completes the first-floor layout.
Patio doors from the living room lead out to a charming, enclosed courtyard – the perfect place to fire up the BBQ and dine alfresco with your loved ones. As well as a patio to enjoy sitting outside , there is a grass area available at the side of the property for your pets ( not enclosed ).
