About this property
Cosy cottage located on the Isle of Purbeck
Tanners Cottage was built in 2014 on the land behind what was the old village shop and next to where the old tannery used to be located. The cottage is a detached property with an enclosed private garden.
Upon entering the property you'll find a cosy hallway leading into a modern fully equipped kitchen, the kitchen also boasts a dining area with views of the garden. Open the French doors onto the patio and you'll find an outdoor seating area to relax and enjoy the outdoors.
A utility room just off the kitchen containing a Freezer and washing machine can also be found next to the downstairs cloakroom.
The lounge is adjacent to the kitchen and again has French doors leading out onto the garden. The lounge comes complete with a log burner for those cooler evenings. A smart TV with Netflix and catchup TV can also be found.
Upstairs 2 bedrooms can be found, the master bedroom has a luxury king size bed and the 2nd bedroom has two single beds which can be converted to a king size. Please let us know the bed configuration of the 2nd bedroom when making your booking so that we can get it ready.
Located on the Isle of Purbeck (not really an island but a peninsula on the Dorset coast) and just a short drive to many local beaches it's a perfect location to relax and enjoy the generally warmer weather the south coast enjoys. Parking for one car adjacent to the cottage.
