Photos and Description of this Dorset holiday cottage A cosy & spacious 4 bedroom cottage set in a Dorset conservation area

Thornicks House is a cosy, deceptively spacious four bedroom terraced cottage dating from the late 18th century and situated in the lovely village of Winfrith Newbrgh. It is set on a quiet country lane (cul-de sac) off the main village street. It was originally owned by the village baker, and the cottage next door was the bakehouse itself. There is a large field and stream between the lane and the main part of the village. The cottage itself opens directly onto the lane. The spacious living room has a bay window and window seat, but its focal point is a large old-beamed brick fireplace. The beautifully fitted, hand-painted 'Smallbone' style kitchen opens (double doors) onto the patio and secluded garden. The other main room downstairs is a characterful dining room with its original flagstones. An old windy staircase leads upstairs to the four bedrooms and bathroom.

Thornicks House is situated in a conservation area in the heart of Thomas Hardy's Wessex. It is but a few minutes drive from Dorset's famous Jurassic coastline, most notably Lulworth Cove, Kimmeridge Bay, Chessil Beach and Durdle Door. 20 mins drive to the west is the popular Georgian seaside town of Weymouth, with its lovely sandy family beach and old harbour. The locals are most excited that Weymouth/Portland will be hosting the 2112 sailing Olympics. A 30mn drive to the east takes you to the fabulous safe white beaches of Sandbanks (National Trust), from where a short car ferry trip takes you to Poole and Bournemouth. Dorset, of course, is famous for its beautiful countryside, old villages and historical monuments; Abbotsbury (Tropical Gardens and Swannery), Cofe Castle, the lost village of Tyneham, Milton Abbas (village and abbey), the Cerne Abbas Giant and Morton, the resting place of T.E.Lawrence, are all within easy reach.

Notes: The cottage is furnished with period and antique furnishings including some antique pine. As the photos show, it has been imaginatively decorated throughout, each room having its own personality. The old staircase is quite steep and windy and therefore probably not suitable for very elderly or infirm clients. The front door opens directly onto the lane and and open fields over to the village. A pathway across the fields leads to the village shop and Post Office and the Church.
