Location

Seatown Farmhouse is nestled in the coastal village of Seatown, about half a mile from the larger village of Chideock in this glorious part of West Dorset.

The village lies at the heart of the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage site with Golden Cap, in the hands of the National Trust, forming its backdrop.

Seatown is made up of just a cluster of properties with the award winning Anchor Inn and the beach being the draw, both of which are a short distance from the house.

In the Summer months there is a shop serving visitors using the beach and just half a mile away is the larger village of Chideock which has a village post office and stores as well as The George Inn public house.

About three miles away is the attractive Georgian market town of Bridport with its regular street market, an excellent range of shops, restaurants and public houses together with supermarkets including Morrisons and Waitrose.

The charming town of Lyme Regis is about 7 miles with its picturesque harbour, sandy beaches and famous Cobb.

The county town of Dorchester is about eighteen miles. Axminster, with its mainline railway station to London Waterloo, is about ten miles.

Exeter airport is about one hour

Description

Seatown Farmhouse is an immensely attractive and prominent village property with a converted barn situated in an enviable location just moments from Seatown Beach. This former farmhouse and old barn have part stone and white painted elevations under thatched roofs and some lovely traditional features including fireplaces, exposed beams, stripped floors and window seats. In recent years the house and barn have undergone significant refurbishment, with the works being carried out by renowned local builders C.G Fry. The house now provides practical, attractive modern accommodation including a fantastic south facing family kitchen, flooded with light within a quintessential period Dorset property and that coupled with its idyllic coastal location has enabled both the farmhouse and the converted barn, known as The Beach House to let extremely successfully for holiday use (more information available on request).

Outside
The house fronts onto the village lane (a no through road) leading to public parking for the beach, The Anchor Inn and just a few other houses. To the front of the property which looks towards the hill and sea is an attractive flint wall enclosing the front garden and an area of parking. On the southern side of the house is a well-stocked, gently sloping garden and lawn with raised deck (accessed from the kitchen), a stream running through, a summerhouse and views through to the sea. A fence separates The Beach House garden which has a fine old stone wall and level lawn with a path leading to a deck with glass pod providing seating.
