Property Description
This unique and enchanting property is part of the historic buildings of Cerne Abbey, formed as Benedictine House in 987 AD, overlooking the abbey courtyard with large gardens nearby. The abbey itself is privately owned, and guests can enjoy the grounds and wander freely. The property is in the pretty village of Cerne Abbas, famed for its dominating chalk carving of the Cerne Giant - thought to be carved in the hillside some 1500 years ago. Tucked away within the beauty of the Dorset Hills, miles of lovely walks can be enjoyed, including the village trail. Puddletown, Tolpuddle and Thomas Hardy’s picturesque Piddle Valley are within easy reach. Travelling further afield are miles of sandy beaches and some of Dorset’s Jurassic coastline. The charming cathedral city of Salisbury or the smaller towns of Sherborne and Dorchester can be visited. Three pubs serving excellent food, 100 yards.
Cosy sitting-room. Old pine kitchen/dining-room with open fire, beamed ceiling. First floor: Pretty, spacious, beamed double bedroom with lovely views to both east and west. Spacious bathroom/W.C. with large corner bath.
