The property

Old School is a spacious, Grade II listed building set in a charming village but within easy reach of the market town of Dorchester in Dorset.

This picture-postcard-pretty, stone-built Victorian former school is fitted with high quality appliances and is the perfect stay for friends and family wanting a holiday that combines coast and countryside.

Step through the traditional door into the modern hallway, which provides a study area and leads you to the spacious sitting room boasting plenty of seating along with a TV/DVD player and a wonderful wood burning fire to keep you warm in winter whilst watching your favourite films.

The well-appointed, spacious kitchen diner provides everything that you will need during your stay including contemporary dining furniture and a stylish fitted kitchen with all the necessary appliances, and well-equipped for cooks.

The ground floor also offers a compact, cosy twin bedroom which is great for children, or guests with limited mobility, with the bonus of a nearby ground floor lobby with WC and washbasin. At the top of the staircase is a delightful, sunny, galleried seating area - a great spot to sit and read or just relax away from other guests.

This floor also presents two well-presented bedrooms, 1 double and 1 twin, with exposed wooden beams as a reminder of the history of the building.

The twin bedroom has its own modern en-suite shower room, while there is also a modern family bathroom with separate shower cubicle, for other guests.

Old School comes with a lovely enclosed and private terraced area to the back of the property, ideal for guests with pets and young children, and the perfect spot to sit with your morning coffee before the day begins.

There is also ample off-road parking for two cars.

Dorchester is a short distance away by car, and the village has a frequent bus service.

This market town with its charming buildings and comprehensive amenities including restaurants and two cinemas is the perfect place from which to base your holiday.

The Dorset AONB comes adjacent to the town for you outdoor enthusiasts.

If a trip to the beach is what you fancy, visit nearby Weymouth for the perfect seaside location combining modern resort facilities with a charming old harbour area.

There are many other places to visit in the area, all helpfully detailed in a guide compiled by the owners.

Old School is a spacious, well-appointed, tastefully-decorated and characterful property in a great location.

It’s fully-equipped for holidays at any time of the year

About the location

DORCHESTER

Weymouth 7 miles.

A trip to Dorset is not complete without visiting the market town of Dorchester, with its Roman roads, museums and a wide selection of pubs and restaurants. Enjoy a scenic walk around Maiden Castle, the largest hillfort in England, or visit the County Museum which has a room devoted to Thomas Hardy, born just two miles away in Bockhampton. Just seven miles away are the glorious gently shelving beaches and picturesque harbour of Weymouth, and the rugged peninsula of Portland, linked to the mainland by Chesil Beach, part of the breathtaking World Heritage Coastline. In fact, you’ll find yourself so intoxicated by Dorset’s magic spell, you won’t want to return home at the end of your stay!
