Overview
Lake View House holds a wonderful location within beautiful West Dorset, offering guests the opportunity to explore the great outdoors and all it has to offer with its unspoilt nature and wildlife. The rural location is perfect for those wanting to enjoy cycling, running, boating or fishing but it is also just half an hour from the bustling towns of Poole, Dorchester and Weymouth where there is plenty to see, do and explore.
The house is truly one-of-a-kind and has been architecturally designed with high attention to detail, boasting modern interiors and plush furnishings throughout. Lake View House can comfortably accommodate up to eight guests across four spacious bedrooms. On the ground floor is the main entertaining space which comprises of an open-plan lounge, dining area and kitchen with dual aspect sliding patio doors which allow guests to make the most of the beautiful lake views. Also on this level is the first of the bedrooms, a double and a handy shower room, set out across one level it makes the perfect space for those with mobility issues. Upstairs, on the first floor, are the remaining bedrooms, a super-king master bedroom which comes complete with en-suite bathroom, a twin room and a bunk bed room as well as a family bathroom.
Outside, the wrap around deck makes the perfect place for a spot of al fresco dining while admiring the sun set over the lake. For nature lovers and bird spotters, the lake is home to a wide variety of wonderful birds including the Dartford Warbler, Woodlark and Nightjar, in late Summer Dartmoor ponies roam free in the surrounding heathlands. On site, there is a children's playground to keep the little ones entertained as well as tennis courts, perfect for those in search of some healthy competition!
What you should know…
- The house is on a gated development and so it does have neighbours
- One of the bedrooms makes use of bunk beds and so is likely better suited to adults than children
- While the development is completely safe, it is centred around a lake and so we recommend that little ones are not left to explore alone
