Thatched Cottage, circa 1700, in the small friendly Dorset village of Corscombe.

This beautiful three bedroom stone cottage has a sitting room, dining room and a large modern kitchen downstairs. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. All three bedrooms are doubles, one with a king size bed, and one with an en-suite bathroom including a spacious shower. The family bathroom has both a large bath and walk-in shower. The house has central heating and two wood burning stoves. We have internet and TV (Netflix, Apple TV etc.). To the rear of the house is a parking area with a large garage/workshop and an EV charger. Beyond this is the fairly long, quiet, South-facing garden with sunshine throughout the day. The garden is grassed, with various trees, flower beds, vegetable patch and patio area, and is not overlooked. It is extremely peaceful in Summer with sounds of birdsong and overlooking hills, perfect for outdoor eating and drinks.

The village is in easy reach of the Jurassic coastline, with popular coastal towns such as Bridport and Lyme Regis being a short drive away.
