Nestled within the picturesque Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this property presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Set on approximately 2.7 acres, the estate features a collection of six charming holiday cottages, three lodges, and additional living spaces that lend themselves to multigenerational living or further rental potential, subject to necessary planning permissions.
The main dwelling offers a versatile layout suitable as a family home or manager's accommodation, with an inviting open-plan design connecting the kitchen, dining room, and sitting room. Upstairs, natural light floods in to create a warm atmosphere in the spacious master bedroom with en-suite facilities and two additional bedrooms sharing a family bathroom. The adjoining converted bungalow has served well for multigenerational living over the years, ensuring privacy while maintaining close proximity.
The holiday cottages are arranged around a gravel courtyard with south-facing aspects and include a mix of one- to three-bedroom units. The varied configurations make this an appealing option for families or groups on holiday. Behind the cottages lie three additional lodges that offer even more rental opportunities. Infrastructure is already in place for four extra shepherd’s huts with electric hook-ups, allowing for potential expansion of this thriving business.
Leisure amenities on-site include a decommissioned indoor swimming pool that could be revitalized into a spa or recreational area, adding further appeal to future guests. A games room features space for table tennis and pool, complemented by outdoor cooking facilities like a wood-fired pizza oven. Children can enjoy dedicated play areas within the grounds.
The property’s location enhances its attractiveness as an investment; it is conveniently positioned near transport links to major cities such as Bristol and London Waterloo. Nearby villages provide essential services including schools, pubs, and shops while the stunning Jurassic Coast is just a short drive away.
As an established business with historical success in holiday rentals—evidenced by multiple awards—the site offers significant income-generating potential once fully operational again. While currently closed to facilitate sale preparations, prior bookings indicate strong market demand; complete financial records can be made available upon request from serious inquiries.
With expansive grounds that invite relaxation amidst sweeping countryside views, this property is primed for rejuvenation—whether as a personal retreat or as part of an expanding hospitality venture.
