| Peacefully situated on a south facing hillside with far reaching
views across open country, this is a delightful 250 year old cottage
of brick, stone and thatch which has been refurbished by its owner
to a particularly high standard, its character and charm having been
combined with an excellent range of facilities.
This corner of southern England, where Wiltshire blends into
Dorset, is within 2 hours' drive of London via the M3 and A303 and
offers superb countryside with dramatically contrasting landscapes.
The area is ideal for walking and there are stupendous views from
The Green, half a mile up hill, and from local Dorset landmarks such
as Gold Hill in Shaftesbury, Win Green, Hambledon Hill and Melbury
Beacon. This part of the country is also well endowed with good
village pubs, the nearest being The Fox & Hounds, just half a
mile away at The Green.
The cottage is also ideally situated for visiting a whole host of
historic sites and attractions, including Bath 25 miles, Salisbury
20 miles, Stourhead, Longleat, Wardour Castle ruins, Stonehenge....
the list is endless! A spectacular stretch of the South Dorset
coastline, from the Isle of Purbeck to Lyme Regis, is reachable in
an hour or less.
Spring Cottage has been awarded a 3 star grading by Visit Britain.
