Many visitors head to the historic village of Minterne Magna to explore the stunning Minterne Gardens, which host a wide range of flowering plants and are set in a beautiful Himalayan valley, surrounded by verdant countryside. In the spring, daffodils, bluebells, primulas, and ornamental cherries bloom under the canopy of trees, and the gardens are also home to a notable collection of rhododendrons. The nearby village of Cerne Abbas (2.5 miles) has local amenities as well as a famous giant carved into the hillside. Within 10 miles is the county town of Dorchester, which has a traditional high street, cinemas and museums, and pretty Sherborne where there are two castles, a striking abbey and many boutique shops and eateries. Set within a wing of the impressive Minterne House, a shared entrance hallway gives access to the stairs which lead to the private door of this first floor apartment. Once inside, you are met with a second staircase that rises to a spacious hallway, with all the rooms leading from it. There is a spacious kitchen equipped with an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge and freezer, plus space to dine.
