Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

Whether you’re in search of a slow-paced, restorative retreat or an action-packed countryside adventure, this eco-friendly home welcomes you to enjoy it all with a wonderful sense of ease and comfort. Sitting peacefully in the Dorset hills with the market town of Gillingham just a short drive away, days can be spent embracing fresh country air, following nearby hiking trails and admiring the beautiful views. And with large glass windows, this home makes the perfect spot to cuddle up on the sofa and watch the sky transform. There’s also underfloor heating – ensuring warmth through the winter season, while sunny days will draw you outside to bask in this glorious setting from the terrace. Back inside, the office meets playroom serves as a wonderful games room or alternatively as a calm, meditation space, while the kitchen has everything you could need to prepare delicious home-cooked meals (Waitrose is just a three-minute drive away).
