Situated in a charming residential spot in the historic market town of Wimborne Minster, this sweet cottage makes a cosy holiday retreat for couples and smaller families seeking a peaceful base for exploring the glorious Dorset countryside. Wimborne Minster has a range of great pubs, cafes and restaurants, and is named after the medieval church at the centre of the town. Sitting along the banks of the River Allen, Wimborne Minster is home to a wealth of attractions including the Museum of East Dorset, Wimborne Model Town and Gardens, and the Tivoli Theatre, all within half a mile. The town is just a mile from the southern edge of the magnificent Cranborne Chase National Landscape, with landmarks including the Iron Age Badbury Rings, the 18th-century White Mill and the magnificent stately home Kingston Lacy, all within 5 miles. The popular seaside resort of Bournemouth is to the south (9 miles).

Entering this characterful hideaway, the welcoming hallway has space to leave coats and muddy boots before you head through to the sociable dining room with a handsome central country-style dining table and a warming wood burner. Double doors lead through to the cosy lounge which features a Smart TV, ample seating and a wood-burner-effect electric fire. From the dining room, you can move through to the fully equipped and stylishly arranged kitchen. From the kitchen, a door leads into a handy shower room with a WC. Doors from both the kitchen and shower room lead out to the garden. Heading upstairs, the first floor features a refreshing bathroom complete with a freestanding roll-top bath and separate shower. The two bright and relaxing bedrooms are also upstairs, a spacious double and an elegant king-size room.

Stepping outside, the delightful garden has a pretty lawn with several seating areas, perfect for dining alfresco on a lazy summer’s afternoon.
