4 Bed in Morcombelake (oc-wy403)

Hardown House is an imposing, detached country residence, set in a stunning elevated rural position, in the village of Morcombelake, with panoramic rural and sea views towards Golden Cap. The property is set in half an acre of south facing grounds, which have been well landscaped with an abundance of mature trees, flowers and beautiful rhododendron bushes.


Morcombelake is a popular village, situated 4 miles west of Bridport, and 5 miles from Lyme Regis, and is the home of the original Moores biscuit bakery, makers of the famous Dorset Knob. The village has a post office/shop, and the friendly Felicities farm shop. The village is in an admirable location nestling amidst the rolling West Dorset hills, and within easy reach of the World Heritage Jurassic coast.

It has a vibrant art and foodie scene; there are various weekly and monthly markets, lots of excellent restaurants and artesian cafes, as well as regular open studio and arts events. Surrounded by some very famous hills, there are endless walking opportunities, as well as riding and cycle trails. A short drive from Bridport is the pretty harbour town of West Bay, with its stunning cliffs, made famous by the recent ‘Broadchurch’ TV series.
