This delightful, Grade II listed cottage is nestled down a quiet lane near to the centre of Sturminster Newton; a quaint market town in North Dorset.
It is resting in the scenic Blackmore Vale, making it a great touring base for those looking to explore Dorset’s main attractions and the Jurassic Coast, including Durdle Door, Weymouth and Lulworth 45 mins away.
With three character bedrooms, including a king-size with feature fireplace and double aspect windows, along with a twin and a second king-size on the top floor, this pleasant accommodation offers a superb place to relax and unwind.
When you’re not dining at a local restaurant, the amply-equipped kitchen offers a range cooker with gas hob, fridge/freezer, while the utility hosts a dishwasher & washer/dryer so you can you rinse your muddy clothes straight away.
Set the dining table for a home-cooked meal, before heading into the lounge for an evening of relaxation, offering a woodburning stove and a Smart TV for entertainment.
To the outside is an enclosed courtyard where you can enjoy your morning coffee whilst the pooch stretches their legs.
Once home to Thomas Hardy and the Dorset dialect poet William Barnes, Sturminster Newton is a real gem; visit the picturesque water mill on the River Stour, find out the rich the traditions of the Blackmore Vale at Sturminster Newton Museum, or celebrate the 2 day annual Cheese Festival held in September.
Avid walkers can explore the unspoilt, pastoral expanses of the Vale following the White Hart Link walking trail, a 50 mile circular route linking the five towns of North Dorset using footpaths and quiet lanes.
The ancient town of Sherborne is 12 miles away, whilst the market town of Dorchester, with its Roman roads and wealth of shops and eateries, is 20 miles away.
Once those are ticked off, the magnificent Dorset Heritage Coastline is a must-visit, awarded as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it offers a great way to see the amazing landmarks and far-reaching coastal views of this part of Dorset.
Whilst here, visit the pretty seaside towns of Swanage, Lyme Regis or West Bay for something to eat or a chance to rest your feet.
Overton Cottage is a superb ‘home away home’, providing great opportunity for exploring Dorset at any time of year.
