This beautifully converted chapel is in a sleepy hamlet with breathtaking scenery, fabulous walking trails and near charming country pubs. Hidden away from the hustle and bustle of regular life, this is a peaceful escape in a picture-perfect location where you can relax in comfortable and quirky surroundings. Indoors, you have a wood burner to keep you warm and outside, a hot tub with an exquisite vista to do the same. You can take your beloved hound pretty much everywhere in this dog-friendly county, and most places offer water bowls and dog treats to four-legged tourists.
You will be forgiven for standing at the top of the chapel staircase awhile, taking in the impressive stained glassed windows below. The original features in the house combine well with the contemporary additions, creating a warm and relaxed atmosphere. In colder months, fire up the wood burner to toast toes and paws, while the kitchen is a bright space with all you need to feed your tribe at any time of year. The bedrooms are full of character and comfort and there is a conservatory with breathtaking views of distant hills. Outside, the garden is mature and pretty, with dreamy, pastureland views from the hot tub and ample shade to sit with a hot and happy hound at your feet.
The hamlet of Duntish borders Buckland Newton and is just a field away from the shop and village pub. The vibrant towns of Dorchester and Sherborne are both less than 10 miles away, with a delightful array of boutiques, antiques, restaurants, and pubs with live music. The coast is 20 miles away at Abbotsbury, and the beaches and clifftops offer huge scope for ball games, chasing waves and long, coastal off-lead walks.
