The neighbourhood The property is in the pretty Dorset village of Leigh and is perfectly placed to enjoy scenic walks from the doorstep and delicious pub lunches in nearly towns and villages. Leigh has a wonderful local shop and café, serving local bread, essentials and local fare. Around a 15-minute drive away is the pretty town of Sherborne with its historic Sherborne Abbey and two castles, one being a stately home and the other an impressive 12th-century ruin. It’s a great place to dine and shop in independent stores, plus there are regular farmers’, artisan and vintage markets. Meanwhile, other attractions that make a great day trip include Minterne House and Gardens which feature beautiful gardens in the style of Capability Brown, while the lovely village of Cerne Abbas is worth a visit to see the giant chalk figure carved into the hills. There are also National Trust properties, including Montacute House, Lytes Cary Manor and Stourhead House and Gardens, to visit. If you want to get out and explore the countryside and the coast, there are plenty of ways to do so locally. For walking there is The Monarch’s Way and McMillan Way, while the National Cycle Route 26 is also nearby. Or head out to explore the Jurassic Coast along the Southwest Coast Path. The nearest beach is in Weymouth, only around 45 minutes’ drive away from the house. Getting around A car is recommended for travelling to the property and ease of getting around. There is a free EV charging point at the property.
