Set on a private estate in West Dorset, this stylish four-bedroom house is ideal for families or groups of friends looking for a scenic holiday. It’s located on a 15.5-hectare site comprising lakes, a nature reserve and plenty of fun activities like paddleboarding, kayaking, tennis and mountain biking rides. Days here can be as active or as idle as you like, from exploring the estate trails to reading on the deck with wildlife for company. The Jurassic Coast and South West Coast Path are only 6 miles away, so you can easily plan days out to local tourist magnets like Weymouth (10 miles).

Inside this attractive property, pale walls and wooden floors sit beneath large dark-framed windows for a stylish aesthetic. The open-plan living space centres around a wood burner, with soft seating facing the garden along with a Smart TV. Patio doors open onto the deck so you can easily pop outside. There’s a breakfast bar seating two and a dining table for six. You’ll have four bedrooms, including two king-size rooms each with en-suite shower rooms. One looks across the lakes and the other opens onto a balcony overlooking the garden, complete with a table and chairs. The two single bedrooms are furnished with wooden beds and share a bathroom. In terms of outside space, the large garden opens directly into the estate's sculpture garden, with a lawn and a picnic table for relaxing outside. There are also sun loungers and relaxer chairs on the deck running along the back of the house, plus a charcoal BBQ. Private parking for one car is at the property, with further spaces in the main site car park.

When it’s time to explore, you’ll have a shop within 0.5 miles in Crossroads, the nearest village, along with a pub a little further away (1.5 miles). The county town of Dorchester (6 miles away) is home to independent shops, eateries and historical attractions like Thomas Hardy’s birthplace. Within 16 miles you’ll find a wealth of popular attractions including Lulworth Cove, the Osmington White Horse, Maiden Castle and Chesil Beach.
