The property

This beautiful little cottage is in an idyllic country setting, with the meandering River Brit flowing either side. It has a small enclosed and private terraced garden and is set near the owner's home and was formerly the town's steam sawmill, in the picturesque market town of Beaminster. Lovingly converted and restored to retain its unique character, the property also benefits from all the modern conveniences you will require, along with a wood burner for those colder days. This attractive, traditional Dorset market town, with pubs, convenience store, specialist shops and restaurants is set in the heart of stunning countryside, with registered walks from the door, perfect for dog walkers, ramblers or trail cyclists. The cottage is only a stone's throw from the famous Mapperton House with its beautiful gardens and next door to Parnham House and its Deer Park and only 10 minutes from the coast at West Bay. All in all, a superb property for couples wanting to enjoy all that Dorset has to offer, an ideal all-year-round holiday cottage.
