Keepers Cottage is a picture-perfect, detached Grade II Listed home, recently re-thatched and nestled in around half an acre of gently sloping garden. This enchanting cottage enjoys panoramic views over open countryside, with only birdsong and the rustle of leaves to break the silence.

Tucked just outside the historic and highly desirable village of Abbotsbury, and within easy reach of the spectacular Jurassic Coast, the property offers the perfect blend of rural escape and coastal charm — ideal for those seeking a slower, more connected way of life.

Steeped in character and full of natural charm, the accommodation flows gracefully over two floors:
Entering via a large ENTRANCE HALL with considerable space for furnishings/coat facilities. There is also a useful PANTRY ideal for storing seasonal produce. Offset from the hall is a downstairs BATHROOM which has a bath, W.C., wash hand basin and separate shower cubicle.

The KITCHEN is a warm and welcoming space, fitted with practical units, with space and plumbing for a washing machine and dishwasher. There is a newly installed Heritage cooker - of classic AGA style - that runs all the heating and cooking. A secondary staircase leads to the first floor.

The SITTING/DINING ROOM is generous and full of atmosphere; centred around a large inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove — perfect for quiet winter evenings by the fire. A door leads from here to the STUDY, ideal for home working featuring a charming cast iron stove and French doors which open to the garden. Stairs lead from the study to the first floor.

UPSTAIRS offers four bedrooms, each with its own character: the PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is light-filled and tranquil, with a built-in cupboard. A pleasant room in which to wake up to views across the countryside. It also has the advantage of an ENSUITE SHOWER ROOM which has a shower, wash hand basin and W.C. BEDROOM TWO is a spacious double room with fitted wardrobes and countryside views. BEDROOM THREE is another inviting room. Eaves storage adds functionality. BEDROOM FOUR is a flexible space — single bedroom, nursery, dressing room, or home office.

Outside
The garden is a peaceful sanctuary, gently shaped by nature and the seasons. Mostly laid to lawn with wild edges and informal planting, it invites slow afternoons, morning coffees in the sun, and suppers under open skies.
