Ever wondered how much you'd need to get your dream home on the Jurassic Coast?

Well ponder no further, this stone-built thatched house is in Chaldon Herring and has it all - private, peaceful location, farmland views and close to the coast path. But it will cost you a cool £1.275million.

Orchard House is on the market and is being sold through Savills Wimborne.

Ashley Rawlings, from the firm, said it's a 'highly attractive property' with plenty of character.

"The property is set in a particularly peaceful location at the end of a private drive, and from the village there is access to the coastal path and the sea along the magical Jurassic coast.”

Internally the house is in extremely good order, featuring a large double height space in the entrance hall with a galleried landing, around which the main reception rooms are situated. There is also a spacious drawing room with feature brick fireplace, an adjacent garden room overlooking open countryside, plus a well-appointed kitchen with separate utility, a dining room and a study.

On the first floor is a master bedroom with en suite facilities, a family bathroom and three further bedrooms.

To the outside, the property has ample parking, a double garage and also benefits from a timber workshop.

Ashley added: “Orchard House was built as a replacement dwelling on the site of an earlier property, and so the extensive and attractive gardens are well established with an excellent range of mature trees, plants and shrubs.”
