Owners say, "The dreamy combination of sea air, a Sunday roast and a roaring fire make for a perfect day in this beautiful cottage.”
Forget Me Not Cottage dates back to the 18th century and is believed to have been used as a Quarryman’s cottage. Steeped in history, the property sits in the centre of a National Landscape (formerly known as an Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty) yet within just a short walking distance of Swanage town centre and beaches. It is the quintessential Dorset stone cottage packed with rustic charm, exposed stone walls, beams, nooks and crannies. Whether coming back from a beach walk and collapsing in front of a roaring fire or evening drinks in the sunny courtyard on a balmy summer evening this is a place that quickly feels like home.
As you step through the front door, there is space to hang coats and leave boots before entering a spacious SITTING ROOM with flag stone floor, exposed stone walls, magnificent fireplace with log burner and south facing windows. Perfect for cosy evenings snuggled up on the sofa in front of the roaring fireplace. A glazed door leads into the sunny KITCHEN / BREAKFAST ROOM which has charming views across the courtyard garden from several windows A glazed door opens onto a sheltered outside eating area. A wooden door leads to a very pretty BATHROOM with a further window opening out onto the garden.
A winding staircase takes you to the first floor with the PRINCIPAL BEDROOM which has a south facing window on one side that floods the room with natural light, and a charming gabled window looking out across the garden.
The second single bedroom, equally as charming, is perfect for guests or as a home office.
The front of the cottage is approached from Jubilee Road and looks across the neighbouring cottage garden. The rear of the cottage can be accessed separately by a white wooden gate, offering separate areas for storage and any beach, and hiking equipment you may want to store.
The walled garden is enchanting. It is a secluded, and romantic courtyard where the current owners enjoy the afternoon sun, or a romantic candlelit dinner. It is particularly magical in the evening with a few tea -light candles and some gentle music.
Conveniently located at the end of Jubilee and Bell Street, you have everything you need from a quick drink down the pub, fish & chips, a family-run butchers to a superb convenience store, supplying freshly baked pastries daily within easy walking distance. You can get pretty much anything you need within a 2-minute walk.
The cottage is situated within a 5-10 minutes’ walk of the footpath, which takes you along the Jurassic coast as well as numerous walks across Purbeck countryside.
