The property

Charmouth 3.8 miles.

The Abbey Grange is a stunning Grade II Listed former monastic grange resting in the Dorset countryside near Charmouth, offering a remarkable blend of medieval heritage and thoughtful modern touches.

Dating back to the 15th century, this character-filled retreat has been carefully restored to honour its historic significance, creating an exceptional setting for families and groups seeking a memorable countryside escape within easy reach of the Jurassic Coast.

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 immediately set the tone for your stay.

Huge stone quoins, flagstone floors and traditional plank-and-muntin partitions showcase the property's rich past, while contemporary comforts ensure a welcoming atmosphere throughout.

Venture further inside to discover an ancient prayer room once used by monks, now thoughtfully repurposed as a games space complete with a mini pool table, adding a unique touch to this extraordinary home.

At the heart of the property lies a beautifully appointed kitchen/diner.

Featuring a handcrafted kitchen, striking central island and ample space for gathering together, it is an ideal setting for everything from leisurely breakfasts to sociable evening meals.

A separate WC is conveniently located nearby.

At the opposite end of the house, the spacious dual-aspect sitting room provides a wonderful place to relax, with a woodburning stove set within the fireplace and a Smart TV for cosy evenings after days spent exploring Dorset's coastline and countryside. Upstairs, three beautifully presented bedrooms continue the property's characterful appeal.

The generous principal bedroom enjoys delightful countryside views and offers a king-size bed, with an additional single bed available on request.

A charming twin bedroom showcases an original plank-and-muntin wall, while a welcoming double bedroom completes the sleeping accommodation.

Served by a striking family bathroom, these inviting spaces provide everything needed for a restful stay.

Due to the property's age and heritage, guests should note that there are some uneven floors, further enhancing its historic character.

Outside, guests can enjoy both an enclosed front garden with lawn and gravel areas, as well as a further gravelled space to the rear, providing pleasant spots to relax and enjoy the surrounding countryside.

An adjacent partially enclosed barn offers additional entertainment, with access to shared table tennis tables, a skittle alley and a snooker table, ideal for friendly competition during your stay.
