Set in the picturesque village of South Perrott, this gorgeous thatched cottage makes a memorable holiday home for families enjoying a tranquil rural break and for couples seeking an idyllic romantic getaway. Offering ample space for five guests, the cottage has plenty of room for two four-legged pals, and has a range of characterful features including a pretty porch, original flagstone floors, solid wooden doors, stone fireplaces and a lovely conservatory. Beautifully updated throughout, this traditional cottage is a wonderful base for exploring the quaint villages and glorious countryside of both Dorset and nearby Somerset.
Entering the property, the striking hallway has a step down through to the cosy lounge and the beautiful dining room, each with a lovely ornamental fireplace. The spacious, country-style kitchen has a sociable breakfast area, with a utility room and pantry. The light-filled conservatory is perfect for enjoying a morning coffee. A refreshing family bathroom is also on the ground floor. An open-tread oak staircase leads to the first floor and three light, tastefully furnished bedrooms: two doubles – one with an en-suite shower room, and a single with an additional pull-out trundle bed. The sunroom opens onto a walled courtyard with low steps leading up to a terrace with garden furniture in the shade of an old apple tree. The fully enclosed garden has a lawn with space for dogs to run about, and a vegetable patch where you can help yourself to seasonal produce.
