Coombe Keynes, Wareham, Dorset, BH20

Nestled in the heart of the picturesque village of Coombe Keynes, this enchanting three bedroom Grade II listed cottage is brimming with period charm and character. The original cottage was built in the 18th Century and was at the centre of the former agricultural community.

It is ideally located just a 5 minute drive from the iconic Lulworth Cove and 10 minutes from Durdle Door, both belonging to the 95 mile stretch of coastline that form a World Heritage Site from Exmouth to Studland Bay.

At first glance the village may feel sleepy, but in fact there has been a concerted effort over the last few years, to develop a real community. The decommissioned church just a stones throw from Cuckoo Nod has recently been used for concerts, film nights, pub nights, art exhibitions etc.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly special home in one of Dorset’s most sought after settings.
This historic cottage offers a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout, effortlessly combining traditional features with comfortable living. The spacious kitchen/breakfast room offers plenty of storage and most importantly for really cosy winters, an Aga.

Both the dining room and lounge have recently been enhanced by a stunning oak parquet design floor, which complements the exposed beams and Inglenook fireplaces found in both rooms. Only the lounge has a woodburner, but the dining room chimney could be cleaned and capped to accommodate the same.

The sun rises at the back of the cottage and sets towards the front so the interior light changes constantly throughout the day. Even though the windows are the original heat-saving size for a dwelling of this age,the interior remains incredibly light and airy.

Upstairs, there is the master double bedroom, a second double bedroom, and a good sized single that would happily house a bunk bed if more sleeping space was required.

The bathroom upstairs has a good sized shower, and airing cupboard. The downstairs bathroom does have a bath.

To the rear of the cottage is a good sized and well planted garden, beautifully designed to offer distinct ‘areas’…a rose garden, a rhododendron area, a small seating area by the lawn, and a large patio area adjacent to the lounge. It also offers the opportunity to build a garden office quite hidden from the house.

The front is full of well established hydrangeas and smaller shrubs, and there is an off=street parking space outside the garage to the right of the cottage. This can easily be made into space for 2 cars by rejigging the fence.

The Lulworth Estate owns much of the land in the area and Lulworth Castle is also home to the annual Bestival music weekend (to which residents of Coombe Keynes get free tickets). Other benefits include an annual lulworth Cove carpark pass for £160 and if you have a small rib or similar, a mooring in the Cove for £250 from April to October.

This is great walking country and the Purbeck Way footpath is accessible 5 minutes from the cottage. Horseriding is also just down the road at the Lulworth Equestrian Centre.

As a home, a getaway, or a holiday let, Cuckoo Nod ticks all the boxes.
