Whitehill Cottages, Abbotsbury, DT3

Charming and rarely available period style thatched village cottage built in 1989, and extended in 2009. Internally, a lovely through lounge and comprehensive kitchen/ breakfast room flow towards a charming English country garden. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and wet room bathroom enjoying views. Direct access to garage and own drive, as well as country walks make this a joyous location.

The property is enviably located in a quiet lane and enjoys an idyllic location in Abbotsbury, being close to the centre of the village with its Post Office/general stores, tea rooms, galleries, the Ilchester Arms public house, local businesses including wood gallery, the Abbotsbury Gardens and Swannery and the magnificent hillside chapel. Stunning countryside walks are accessible directly from the property.

Most of the village is under the management of the Ilchester Estate which ensures preservation of scenic streets and traditionally built homes. This village is steeped in history and exudes character and community and there are so many opportunities for a very wide range of leisure and creative interests, with the Jurassic Coastline and Chesil Beach on its doorstep.

The vibrant towns of Bridport, Weymouth and Dorchester are all equidistant from Abbotsbury, just over 9 miles away.
