Honeysuckle is a three bedroom cottage; incorporating a 2 bedroom semi-detached cottage with a separate annex which contains an ensuite bedroom. This holiday home was fully refurbished May 2022 with period furniture and all the requirements for a comfortable family holiday.
The main holiday home is laid over two floors, and has steps throughout - leading to the front door, the garden and an annex building.
Stepping through the main door, you will be greeted by a pretty living room with a wood burning stove in the heart of it, dark wood exposed beams and bespoke sofas – the perfect space to unwind in at the end of a long day. The cottage has been thoughtfully renovated retaining its original character whilst offering a modern and bright living space to suit the needs of a holiday maker.
Continue through to the separate dining room with a farmhouse pine dining table and wheelback chairs to comfortably seat six guests. Opposite to the dining room, you will find a contemporary white kitchen, paired with grey tones and oak wood. The kitchen is flooded with bright, natural light from the skylights and offers newly fitted appliances with everything you need to cook your favourite meal.
There is also a separate downstairs WC with basin for the convenience.
Heading upstairs, you will find North and South bedrooms. The slightly larger North bedroom has a Super King size bed, antique wall cupboard and chest of drawers; South has a King Size bed and hanging/ drawer storage. Both bedrooms feature cottage-style windows with blackout blinds. You will also find a family bathroom with shower/ bath, all refitted this year.
An annex is fully equipped with super-king bed, wardrobe and an ensuite shower. There is a kettle and mugs for morning tea.
The front garden has a stone bench and, looking north, you can see Corfe Castle. The back garden is secluded and has seating for 6 at teak table. There is also a BBQ.
