Full of character yet thoughtfully updated for comfort, the home features a light and spacious open-plan kitchen-diner ideal for relaxed meals and long conversations.

With two additional cosy bedrooms and a private patio and garden, the bungalow offers both warmth and tranquillity in a truly picturesque setting.
The surrounding area of Ibberton offers a wealth of scenic walks, wildlife, and traditional Dorset charm. A network of footpaths leads directly from the village across rolling fields and chalk-downland, with Ibberton Hill being a particularly popular local viewpoint. It’s perfect for gentle strolls, picnics, or simply soaking up sweeping rural views. For those who enjoy longer adventures, the Wessex Ridgeway passes close by — a historic long-distance walking route that rewards hikers with breathtaking landscapes and glimpses of the region’s ancient heritage. Nature lovers will also appreciate the peaceful lanes and hedgerows, home to local birds and seasonal wildflowers, making every walk feel like a step into classic Dorset countryside.
Ibberton also places you within easy reach of charming attractions and local history. The village itself is home to the Grade II* listed Church of St Eustace, an atmospheric late-14th-century church perched above the village, offering both architectural interest and lovely views. After a day of exploring, guests can enjoy a hearty meal or a relaxing drink at the village’s traditional 16th-century inn known for its warm welcome, flagstone floors, and excellent food. Whether you’re seeking peaceful relaxation or outdoor adventure, the area surrounding this beautiful, thatched bungalow provides the perfect backdrop for a memorable Dorset escape.
