Oak Ridge Cottage is a charming Grade II Listed building and is thought to date back to the early 18th Century. It is constructed of natural Purbeck stone under a stone tiled roof. The property has been thoughtfully and stylishly renovated by the current owners, with a focus on preserving its wealth of period features including beamed ceilings, stone fireplaces, and flagstone floors. The result is a home that harmonises comfort and ease of modern living with its tranquil surroundings.
The interior offers a relaxed yet refined atmosphere, while the exterior reflects the area's rich architectural heritage. The gardens are a particular delight, beautifully landscaped and offering a peaceful retreat.
