Charmouth 3.8 miles.
The Abbey Grange is a magnificent Grade II Listed former monastic grange resting in the Dorset countryside near Charmouth.
Dating back to the 15th century, this remarkable home has been carefully restored to celebrate its rich heritage while offering an inviting retreat for families and friends seeking a memorable stay close to both coast and countryside.
Steeped in history from the moment you arrive, a private entrance leads through an original Tudor archway and into an impressive entrance hall, where centuries-old features create an immediate sense of character.
Flagstone floors, substantial stone quoins and traditional plank-and-muntin partitions showcase the property's fascinating past, while thoughtful additions ensure a welcoming stay throughout.
Beyond the entrance hall lies an ancient prayer room once used by monks, now transformed into a unique games area complete with a mini pool table.
At the heart of the home is a beautifully appointed kitchen/diner, where a central island creates a sociable space for gathering over leisurely breakfasts and hearty evening meals.
Whether preparing family favourites or discussing the day's adventures, this inviting room is designed for spending quality time together.
Just off the kitchen is a convenient separate WC.
At the eastern end of the property, the spacious dual-aspect sitting room provides a wonderful place to unwind.
A woodburning stove sits at its heart, creating a warm focal point for relaxed evenings after days spent exploring the Jurassic Coast, while the Smart TV offers entertainment for quieter moments indoors.
Upstairs, three attractive bedrooms continue the property's characterful appeal.
The principal bedroom enjoys lovely countryside views and features a king-size bed, with an additional single bed available on request.
A charming twin bedroom boasts an original plank-and-muntin wall, while a welcoming double bedroom completes the sleeping accommodation.
Serving the bedrooms is a striking family bathroom.
Due to the age of the property, there are uneven floors, steps and areas of restricted head height on the first floor, adding to the home's authentic historic charm.
Outside, guests can enjoy an enclosed lawned and gravel garden to the front of the property, complete with picnic benches and space to relax in the fresh country air.
A further gravel area to the rear provides additional outdoor space.
Across the yard, an adjacent shared games barn offers entertainment for all ages, with two table tennis tables, a skittle alley and a medium-sized snooker table.
Whether you're exploring Dorset's rich history, discovering the Jurassic Coast or spending time together in a truly distinctive setting, The Abbey Grange offers an exceptional base for a memorable Dorset escape.
