Lulworth House The South West
Perfect luxury in a perfect place
The first thing that will strike you about this fantastic property is the location. Looking out to the beautiful and fascinating Lulworth Cove in Dorset, this house is perfectly sited to take in the wonder of this region. The house has been rebuilt to the highest standards with a bright, airy, modern feel. Sleeping twenty people, it has a completely open-plan ground floor with plenty of space to eat, relax, mix and chill out. At the top of the house there is a great TV room and a library for those quiet times of contemplation. The lower ground houses the most wonderful swimming pool with doors out onto the rolling lawns. The kitchen is a chef’s dream and the dining area can easily accommodate everyone. This is a great house for family retreats, gatherings for special celebrations, or simply time away in one of the most beautiful and captivating parts of the country.

Walking in the footsteps of an Angel
This is prime walking country, make no mistake! Those of you familiar with Thomas Hardy will know that it was hereabouts that he visualised the sleepwalking Angel Clare carrying Tess of the D’Urbervilles. And what a place to walk! With inspirational views, abundant wildlife and fascinating archaeology and history, this area has a little ‘wow’ around every corner. There is so much to see: the magnificent Durdle Door, the beaches, Lulworth Castle with its beautiful park where you can play pitch ‘n’ putt, swing-ball, giant Jenga, noughts and crosses, and boules. Nearby you will find quaint country pubs, tearooms, and timeless thatched cottages. But you don’t even have to leave the house to have a fun time. As well as the indoor heated saline swimming pool (with a paddling pool for the kiddies), the house has a games room with table tennis, board games, and entertainment systems. So the scene is set for you to have an amazing time in this wonderfully secluded property.
