The Area – Dorset
Much of Dorset has been officially designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, boasting some of the country’s most contrasting and breathtaking scenery dramatic coastlines with popular bustling towns and endless unspoilt countryside of rolling hillsides and sleepy villages. Good transport links to London and the South East make it a very popular area for those seeking a second home or people who can work from home for at least part of the week. The county also offers a huge choice of both state and private schools and access to a wide range of sporting and leisure activities.

Whether you are looking in rural Dorset or on the coast around Sandbanks and Poole Harbour, Dorset has something for everyone. Unspoilt beaches and a wide variety of watersports can be found in abundance around Sandbanks, Canford Cliffs, Branksome Park and Poole. Property in this part of Dorset is often extremely contemporary and such is the demand that prices are often extremely high particularly for a house on the waterfront. Further west, another ‘hotspot’, particularly for those looking for a second home, is the coastal stretch running from Weymouth through Bridport across to Lyme Regis where there are many pretty villages within easy reach of the stunning unspoilt coastline. Coming inland into rural Dorset, the market towns of Beaminster, Shaftesbury and Sherborne are very popular as they offer good facilities and are all surrounded by stunning countryside and close to some of the best schools in the country.
