Primrose Cottage, Cob and Thatch home in idyllic village

Description
Set in the street of Milton Abbas, Primrose Cottage is one of the semi-detached cob and thatched houses that make up a unique village created around 1770 by Lord Milton and landscaped by Capability Brown. The story alone of how, over a generation, he erased the town of Middleton to allow himself to enjoy exclusively his stately home and the peace and quiet of the Abbey makes the village worth a visit.

The 'model village' itself is said by many to be one of the prettiest in England. Certainly each house has individual charm whilst the winding valley setting with its lake at the bottom is the ideal base for walking through the Dorset countryside. The village is situated between Dorchester and Blandford Forum in the middle of Hardy country. Thomas Hardy's cottage being less than seven miles away. The coast at Weymouth is half an hour whilst Lyme Regis with its Cobb, are to the west.

More places of interest such as Chesil Bank, Portland, Corfe Castle, Cerne Abbas Man, and others are less than 30 minutes away. Nothing is far away in Dorset including cream teas!.
