Wonderful Chideock Getaway

This property is a fantastic two-bedroom stone barn conversion mixing traditional with contemporary in the quiet village of Chideock. One of two conversions just past the owner's house, this cosy and characterful cottage is tastefully presented and is full of light thanks to spotlighting and large windows. Its proximity to two local pubs (80 metres and 320 metres), shop (160 metres) and the coast under a mile means you're in an enviable location for a relaxing holiday.

Enter the cottage via three steps and through the stable door where you will discover a spacious open-plan interior complete with tiled floors, an array of comfy seating and a large table with views out to the courtyard. Please note, there is reduced height in the eaves. The bright and airy kitchen is contemporary with a nod to the traditional and has everything you need to cook a meal for your family. You'll find the bathroom next to the kitchen with a fabulous waterfall shower. At the top of the stairs, you'll see two bedrooms, both with reduced height at the eaves; the king-size bedroom is a welcoming retreat to retire to after a long day, while the twin bedroom across the landing has low windows that give it a cosy feel. Outside, there's a seating area on the unenclosed gravelled drive that's bordered by stone walls and pretty shrubs. The private courtyard to the side of the barn is the perfect spot for an al fresco drink in the evening.

Enjoy Seatown Beach, less than a mile from the property, which is a steep shelving beach that is ideal for afternoon strolls. Visit the market town of Bridport (3 miles) for plenty of shops and cafes, before heading down to West Bay (5 miles), which is known as the 'gateway to the Jurassic Coast.' Further afield, Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens (12 miles) is ideal for inquisitive kids and adults alike.
