About this property

A former hotel set deep in the Dorset countryside in a small village

This beautiful Manor House is nestled in the Dorset countryside, in a unique village with a close-knit community, called Chettle.

Up until September '22 it was a hotel and restaurant. The house is comfortable and full of character with 8 en-suite bedrooms, a spacious lounge with woodburning fire, a library and games room with another woodburner, a snug television room plus large dining room and well appointed family kitchen. The house itself has large gardens, a walled pear walk and lots of private parking.

The village has a well-stocked village shop with everything you could possibly need (inc freshly baked pies, organic fruit and veg and all the other groceries you could imagine), a community playground and plenty of beautiful walks and cycle rides straight from the doorstep.

You are also between 30-45 minutes drive from the Jurassic Coast with it’s stunning beaches and breathtaking walks along the South-West Coastal Path.
