Blagdon Hill occupies a superb position situated high on the South Dorset Ridgeway which runs along the Dorset coastline. Built some 40 years ago, it offers spacious and comfortable family accommodation and has the added attraction of an indoor heated swimming pool (approximately 4 x 8 metres), which adjoins a sun lounge.
The house enjoys all round scenic views and is situated only 400 yards from the inland coast path and only half a mile from Hardy's Monument (commemorating Nelson's flag captain, Sir Thomas Hardy), a 70 ft. octagonal tower which stands on Blackdown Hill and which can be seen for miles around. From here there are stunning views which stretch from the Needles on the Isle of Wight to Start Point in South Devon.
Within easy driving distance on the South Dorset coast are Abbotsbury (3 miles), famous for its Swannery, Chesil beach and sub-tropical gardens, Weymouth (6 miles) which has a huge variety of attractions and events throughout the year and the Isle of Portland with its medieval castle, shipwreck centre and museum. Further east and west, Ringstead Bay, Lulworth Cove and Bridport are also easily accessible. Looking inland, Blagdon Hill is a short distance from Maiden Castle, a huge iron age fort, 4 miles from Dorchester, a Roman town with an excellent museum and river walks, and a mile and a half from the village of Martinstown.
