Description

OWNERS COMMENTS
"Some of our fondest memories will be the wonderful summer evenings, entertaining on the convivial decking around the swimming pool, with a glass of bubbles and food sizzling on the barbecue. Or again, celebrating the festive season, cozily, by the open fire with friends and family, stews slow cooking on the Aga and a big tree in the grand entrance hall. A truly secluded and magical place for the next custodians to enjoy too."

PROPERTY DETAILS
Marley Wood House is nestled in the heart of the Dorset countryside, just moments away from the breathtaking Lulworth Cove & the iconic Durdle Door. Stepping inside, you'll find a thoughtfully designed interior that seamlessly combines character with contemporary living. The spacious lounge features a welcoming fireplace, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere, while the separate dining room boasts its own wood burner. The large kitchen is a true centrepiece, fitted with modern integrated appliances while retaining charming period details, including an Aga. A dedicated study on the ground floor provides the ideal space for home working. The property offers five generously sized bedrooms, with one conveniently located on the ground floor and the remaining four on the first floor. The master bedroom as well as the main guest bedroom enjoy the added luxury of a private en-suite, while the other two bedrooms benefit from far-reaching countryside views and a family bathroom along the corridor. Outside, the beautifully maintained grounds include an established kitchen garden with raised beds, a solar-heated swimming pool, and a separate pool house with shower and toilet. A substantial double garage and additional workshop provide ample space for vehicles and equipment. Tastefully modernised throughout while preserving its original charm, Marley Wood House is a unique opportunity to own a countryside retreat in one of Dorset's most sought-after locations, with countryside and coastal walks direct from the property. This charming property is within a few miles to both Moreton and Wool train stations that offer direct rail link to London Waterloo.
