Nestling in beautiful woodland just outside the market town of Wareham is our spacious, detached 3 double bedroom cottage with wonderful family kitchen and sizeable garden. It’s the perfect place for a family or group of friends to enjoy a tranquil break on the Jurassic Coast. Full of original character, the 140-year-old house has been recently renovated and extended into a spacious home, combining the cosy feel of a cottage (complete with wood burner) with open living spaces. Once a farm workers cottage, and originally part the Trigon Estate in which it’s situated, East Cottage sits at the end of a small country track. Built in approximately 1880, it has since been extended and modernised to provide you with every mod con you would expect in a comfortable holiday home. At the same time it retains much of the original character, with reclaimed flooring and a wood burner in the main living space. The south facing garden is expansive (over half an acre) with plenty of space to kick a football around, or more likely sit back and enjoy a glass of wine, while watching the sunset over the trees. There is a large patio with chunky wooden table, benches and a BBQ, perfect for making the most of sunny weather. Coming inside, there’s plenty of space to leave muddy wellies in the reception hall, with the utility room and downstairs loo just off to one side. This includes a shower, toilet and washing machine, as well as plenty of space to hang up your coats and outside gear. The hall leads through to a spacious lounge which stretches from the front to the back of the building and features a large wood burning stove. A comfy room to sit back and relax after a long walk or bike ride through Wareham Forest (which is on the doorstep), with French doors leading straight out into the garden. The reclaimed floorboards and ledge & brace doors add to the character in this room. You then come through into the second reception room, which is open on the other side to the Kitchen/Diner, making it perfect for the kids to play while the adults cook, chat and enjoy a cup of tea (or a glass of wine!). There’s also another set of French doors leading straight to the garden. The open plan kitchen/diner sits in the extended part of the cottage and was fitted from scratch in 2016. It therefore has everything you could need; a range cooker, super-sized fridge freezer, integrated dishwasher and, of course, a big family dining table for everyone to enjoy breakfast and dinner together. Upstairs there are three spacious double bedrooms. The Master bedroom features a king size bed and plenty of built in wardrobe space. Next there is the middle bedroom, which has a comfy double bed, and finally the third bedroom, which has two singles and the full size cot. All of the beds will be made up with fresh linen ready for a great night’s sleep. Bath Towels are supplied too. Also upstairs, the newly-fitted family bathroom has an oversized shower cubical ideal for hosing down sandy children after a fun-filled day at the beach, as well as a bath for the grown ups to relax in after they’ve gone to bed!
