The Annex is a superb single-storey cottage located in the Dorset market town of Wimborne Minster, on the edge of the Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Tastefully presented throughout, this welcoming retreat accommodates up to three guests and a well-behaved dog, offering a light-filled and thoughtfully designed interior.
Set in a peaceful spot, it’s an ideal place to relax and unwind, with excellent opportunities for stargazing thanks to the area’s low light pollution.
After a day exploring Dorset’s coast and countryside, return to the open-plan living space, take a seat on the generous sofa and enjoy a film on the Smart TV, or open the French doors and step out into the spacious courtyard.
The kitchen is well-equipped with everything needed for preparing meals, including an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, washing machine, and dishwasher, making tidying up effortless.
