At A Glance

Overview

Chalklands, nestled in the Dorset Countryside, is ideal for gatherings of families or groups of friends. With its generous and decadent bedrooms able to sleep up to 9 people, and the added benefit of being able to accommodate your four legged friend, it is the perfect contemporary space to relax and unwind. Step through the front door of Chalklands and you’ll get an instant feeling of calm from the harmonious space. The carefully considered décor and layout offers space for everyone with the four/five en-suite bedrooms ensuring privacy when needed. The spacious kitchen and dining area have both been designed for entertaining and celebrating. Outside, you’ll find a superb lawned garden with plenty of seating for lazy summer afternoons.

Chalklands is next to the coast and less than three hours from London, making it the ideal choice for short breaks, whilst longer stays are just as opulent.

Living

In the long sitting room, you’ll find two large and luxurious Loaf sofas on which to sprawl out on and gaze out of the bay windows, plus two further occasional chairs nestled around the double-fronted wood burner, turning those cooler days into cosy retreats. During warmer months, the French doors at the far end of the room can be opened out onto the large undercover alfresco eating area. The snug-come-games room features an ample Smart Oled TV and a Boot/Games room for walking boots and coats, as well as additional space for table football, pool table, and air hockey. So on those rainy days there is plenty to keep everyone occupied.

Eating

The stunning kitchen is sure to impress budding and experienced chefs alike. Spacious and open plan, it benefits from a fantastic central island and features all the essentials, including an impressive Rangemaster Deluxe with four ovens and a five-ring induction hob. In addition, there’s a dishwasher, large American fridge/freezer and a Dualit coffee machine. A washing machine and condenser dryer can be found in the adjacent utility room.

The beautiful dining table and Hans Wenger chairs comfortably seat ten and benefit from the cosy heat of the double-sided wood burner, whilst the glass doors lead out onto the patio and garden beyond.

Sleeping & Bathing

The master bedroom has a gorgeous French-inspired super king bed, a vast bay window with glorious distant sea views, a table and chairs – the perfect place for morning coffee – and an en suite shower room with blissful underfloor heating, plus access to the sun-flooded balcony.
The second and third bedrooms also have wonderful sea and countryside views with either a king size or zip-and-link bed, both with en suite shower rooms with underfloor heating. If the fourth, gorgeous, single bedroom is being used then it shares a bathroom with the third bedroom. Bedroom five is also a super king-sized zip-and-link bed, with courtyard and field views, television and an en suite bathroom plus a breathtaking freestanding bath and separate walk-in shower, and of course, underfloor heating. All the beds are swathed in the finest feather duvets and pillows, linens, throws and pillows. The en suites are thoughtfully stocked with luscious Noble Isle products and have heated rails to keep towels warm and fluffy.

Outdoor Space

The outdoor space is fantastic for entertaining and eating. It features a covered dining area for ten with a teak table and chairs, plus a gas barbecue. To the front, leading conveniently from the kitchen, is a patio area with a breakfast table set for four, surrounded by herbs and roses. Beyond this there’s an expansive lawn which is perfect for children to play and dogs to roam with the handy additions of loungers, a bench and a fire pit – perfect for roasting marshmallows or making s’mores under a starry sky.

The outdoor living space is surrounded by fields (with the occasional sheep) and distant sea views. A peaceful and blissful setting to thoroughly unwind. With Chalklands being in an Area Of Natural Beauty the property is surrounded by farmland. From time to time the arable farm will carry out work in these fields, and pylons will be visible on one side of the property.

Parking & Access

There is plenty of private, off-road parking for up to eight cars. Please note that the entrance to the part-cobbled courtyard is 2.5 meters high and cars will need to be under this to fit through. There is a type 2 electric charging point for guests’ use.

Babies & Children

Babies and children are most welcome at Chalklands. A highchair and a travel cot can be provided on request.
