The property

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.

The main bedroom features a double bed with a brass frame and fitted storage, while a second bedroom with a single bed allows for flexible sleeping arrangements for up to three guests.

The sleek bathroom includes a large walk-in shower, providing a refreshing start or end to your day.

The Annex is located within two miles of the Willett Arms, a welcoming pub ideal for a relaxed lunch or evening meal.

Nearby Wimborne offers a variety of amenities including cafés, restaurants, pubs, shops, a supermarket, and both Chinese and Indian takeaways, making it easy to dine out or stock up on essentials.

For a day by the sea, head to Bournemouth, where you’ll find attractions such as the Oceanarium, Bournemouth Pier Amusements, and RockReef with its climbing walls, ropes course, and zip wire.

Alternatively, visit Poole, where you can enjoy the flumes at Splashdown Waterpark or explore the scenic Upton Country Park and its Georgian mansion.

Guests also benefit from shared access to a large paddock with oak trees and woodland, perfect for dog walks or spotting local wildlife such as deer and owls.

There’s a shared outdoor tap for rinsing muddy boots and paws, and shared tennis courts for those feeling active.

For a scenic walk, Canford Heath Nature Reserve is just a short drive away, offering trails and views across Poole Bay.

Beautifully presented and well-located, The Annex provides a charming base for a Dorset escape at any time of year.
