Nestled within the picturesque coastal village of Preston, this historic home is a perfect haven for a couple and their canine companion. Enjoy lovingly preserved original features, a crackling wood burner and a pretty cottage garden for Rover to explore at this welcoming home.
As you enter through the stable door, you’ll find a hallway providing a space to stow your coats and boots after your outdoor escapades. With its traditional farmhouse feel, the kitchen area may be compact but is well-appointed with everything you’ll need for a stress-free stay. Head to the lounge/diner, ignite the wood burner and snuggle up on the sofa while enjoying an evening in front of the Smart TV with Fido snoozing at your feet. At the end of the day, climb the open tread stairs, and you’ll discover a welcoming double bedroom and a bathroom tucked romantically under the low-sloping eaves. Outside, you’ll find the gently sloping garden with a lawn and shrubs. You can relish al fresco dining on the gravelled seating area or begin your day with a morning coffee while watching your furry friend sniff around the safely enclosed borders. The garden is also home to an outhouse utility room.
The cottage is an excellent starting point for exploring Weymouth and the fascinating Jurassic Coast. Venture out on foot to explore the delightful local villages and shops. A mile from your door is the vast expanse of Overcome Beach, where playful pups can bound year-round. Alternatively, follow the main road to reach the vibrant town of Weymouth (3.5 miles) for a day of traditional seaside fun. From the cliffside ruins of Sandsfoot Castle (4.5 miles) to the exquisite Greenhill Gardens (2 miles)—dogs on the lead welcome at both—the options for adventure are limitless. After a day of discovery, you can retreat to one of the numerous pet-positive pubs in the area for a delicious meal.
