About this property

Beautiful Dorset Country House in the Heart of the Stunning Isle of Purbeck

A semi rural 5 bedroom / 2 bathroom country house with a large garden and sun deck, situated on the edge of the beautiful village of Church Knowle in the heart of the Purbeck hills.

Recently refurbished throughout to a very high standard, whilst retaining many of its original features.

Enter through the front gates into a large driveway with enough space for 10 cars and this welcoming detached property set in it's own grounds of just over 3/4 of an acre will instantly make you feel at home and relaxed. With a large sun deck at the rear of the property overlooking the Purbeck hills and with plenty of outdoor seating, it really is the ideal spot for al fresco dining or relaxing with a bottle of wine.

On the ground floor you’ll find a spacious living room with a dining area and seating for up to 10 guests, fully-fitted kitchen, utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer and boot/boiler room. Also on the ground floor you will find a shower room and toilet and four double bedrooms two of which can be made up as twin rooms if required.

Upstairs you will find another double bedroom and a bathroom with a bath/shower and toilet.

Every bedroom is equipped with an alarm clock, shaver adapter and two USB sockets to charge your electronic devices.

Situated in the stunning village of Church Knowle, this spacious yet cosy country house has a whole host of amenities within a short distance including village shops, a post office, bakery, gift shops, galleries and friendly pubs run by warm and welcoming landlords.

There is also plenty to do in the area with beaches across the stunning Jurassic Coast (including Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove, Studland and Swanage all within easy reach), fantastic walking, several National Trust properties, outdoor activities and some of the South's most historical sites, such as Corfe Castle, just a short drive away.

This is the perfect location to explore all that the stunning county of Dorset has to offer and would make the ideal retreat for a romantic weekend away, or family escape to the country.

Everything was perfect. The garden was great for children to play in and lovely for the adults as well. The house was fabulous and had everything we needed. The lounge area was much bigger than expected and the kitchen was well equipped with small added touches that make such a difference. Thank you, we enjoyed our stay, we didn't want to leave!

Absolutely Fabulous!

From the moment of booking, communication with the host was excellent. We were messaged on the day of arrival to inform us that we could check into the property earlier than advertised - welcome news as some of our group had travelled quite far.The property itself is absolutely beautiful, set in stunning grounds with amazing views. The house was decorated to a high standard and had everything you could possibly require, even extra blankets and water bottles for cold weather. There were also some lovely touches in the form of local bread, jam and honey which were left for us.The house was well equipped, the kitchen utensils in particular were new and plenty. There were even dishwasher tablets and laundry tablets to use. We were really impressed overall and give this property 10 out of 10. If I had to be picky I would say that another bathroom would be useful, but this didn’t cause us a problem and it won’t stop me from booking this property again. Thank you Alan and Clare.

Perfect in every way

Beautiful house in a beautiful setting with everything provided. Plenty of room for our family of 10 and spotlessly clean. The hot tub was a great hit with the younger members of the family. Alan and Clare could not have been more helpful.

Stunning House

Amazing House with stunning views and beautiful surroundings perfect for an extended family holiday. We received such a warm welcome from Alan & Clare with a very thoughtful surprise for the children to enjoy over the Easter weekend🐣🥚 The House was immaculate and very well maintained with excellent facilities and lots of space. We had great fun playing family games out in the garden and taking in the wildlife. The local area has so much to offer, and we simply ran out of time to explore it all. Would definitely recommend and already planning our next trip!
