The property

Charmouth 3.8 miles.

The Cheese House is a magnificent Grade II Listed farmhouse resting near Charmouth, Dorset, offering an exceptional blend of historic character and thoughtful contemporary touches.

Forming part of a former monastic grange dating back to the 15th century, this remarkable home underwent an extensive renovation in 2022, carefully preserving its rich heritage while creating a welcoming retreat for families and groups eager to explore Dorset's dramatic coastline and rolling countryside.

Step through the private entrance and into a generous boot room, ideal for storing walking gear after days spent exploring the nearby footpaths and coast.

Beyond lies the heart of the home, a sociable kitchen/diner where a flagstone floor, handcrafted kitchen and ample dining space create a wonderful setting for gathering together.

Whether you're preparing a hearty breakfast before setting off for the Jurassic Coast or lingering over an evening meal, this charming space is designed for sharing memorable moments.

A ground-floor king-size bedroom leads from the kitchen area and is served by a stylish contemporary shower room, providing flexible accommodation for guests seeking easy accessibility.

Passing through the utility room, a couple of steps lead down into the inviting sitting room, where an original fireplace houses a woodburning stove, creating a warm focal point for relaxing afternoons and cosy evenings spent watching a favourite film on the Smart TV. The first floor continues the property's characterful appeal.

A spacious mezzanine-style bedroom sits at the top of the stairs, complete with three single beds and bean bags, making it an ideal retreat for younger guests.

Leading from this room are two further bedrooms, including a king-size room and a family bedroom with a double and single bed.

The family bathroom completes the accommodation.

Throughout the upper floor, exposed character features, uneven floors and areas of restricted head height within the eaves serve as a reminder of the building's fascinating history and enduring charm. Outside, guests can enjoy a large gated lawned garden with picnic benches and plenty of space for children to play or for leisurely afternoons in the fresh country air.

Across the yard, an adjoining games barn offers additional entertainment, with table tennis tables, a skittle alley and a snooker table, perfect for a little friendly competition after a day of exploring.

Whether you're seeking coastal adventures, countryside walks or simply a memorable stay in a truly historic setting, The Cheese House provides a superb base from which to experience the very best of Dorset.
