Nestled at the foot of Bulbarrow Hill in north Dorset is the picturesque conservation hamlet of Ibberton. Quiet and quaint, a cluster of Dorset stone houses, an ancient hillside church and a charming village pub renowned for its gastronomical menu, are to be found in this delightful backwater. Once a farm worker’s cottage, this lovely thatched property was also the village school (hence the high windows) and must have been one of the most attractive schools around! All on one level and suitable for guests with limited mobility, this detached cottage has a sitting-room with a warming open fire, ideal for those out-of-season breaks. The modern Shaker-style kitchen/dining-room has granite worktops and opens out to the enclosed sunny garden, bordered by beautiful countryside and a stream (please take care with children). The three bedrooms are individually furnished, and the master bedroom has access to the garden. The Old School House provides an ideal base from which to explore this exceptional part of Dorset, enjoying splendid views and walks within the Bulbarrow Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Broadband access is available at this property.
