The property

The Coach House rests just outside the village of Charminster, offering a well‑presented detached retreat that’s ideal for up to four guests looking to explore the Dorset countryside.

With comfortable surroundings and a convenient location, it provides a welcoming base for couples, friends or small families keen to discover this attractive corner of the county.

Step inside to find a bright open‑plan living space that brings together the kitchen, dining area and sitting room.

Here, you can prepare meals with ease before gathering around the table to dine, while the sitting area offers a relaxing spot to unwind beside the electric fire after a day spent exploring.

A handy utility room adds extra practicality, particularly for longer stays.

The accommodation offers two inviting bedrooms, both benefiting from en‑suite facilities for added comfort and privacy.

The double bedroom features an en‑suite bathroom with bath, handheld shower, basin and WC, while the twin bedroom enjoys its own en‑suite with bath, shower over, basin and WC.

Completing the interior is a cloakroom with basin and WC. Outside, an enclosed lawned garden provides a pleasant place to enjoy the fresh country air, while the balcony offers an elevated spot to sit back with a drink and take in the peaceful surroundings.

Designated off‑road parking for two cars makes arrival and day trips straightforward, and the nearby village offers welcoming pubs and useful local amenities.

The historic county town of Dorchester lies close by, where visitors can explore museums, independent shops and the area’s strong connections to novelist Thomas Hardy.

Beyond this, the dramatic coastline of the Jurassic Coast is within easy reach, offering striking cliffs, fossil‑rich beaches and scenic coastal walks.

With charming villages, countryside trails and iconic coastline all nearby, The Coach House provides an excellent base for enjoying the very best of Dorset.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.

About the location

CHARMINSTER

Dorchester 1.5 miles.

The attractive scattered community of Charminster is set in the valley of the River Cerne, surrounded by glorious, unspoilt countryside. It is served by a shop and pub, yet just one and a half miles away is the bustling market town of Dorchester, with its Roman roads, museums and a wide selection of pubs and restaurants. Enjoy a scenic walk around Maiden Castle, the largest hill fort in England, or visit the County Museum, which has a room devoted to Thomas Hardy, born just two miles away in Bockhampton. Just seven miles away are the glorious gently shelving beaches and picturesque harbour of Weymouth, and the rugged peninsula of Portland, linked to the mainland by Chesil Beach, part of the breathtaking World Heritage Coastline. In fact, you’ll find yourself so intoxicated by Dorset’s magic spell, you won’t want to return home at the end of your stay!
