This is an extraordinarily rare opportunity to acquire an outstanding country residence with magnificent uninterrupted views of the English Channel and adjoining countryside, recently acquired by the National Trust. It is located on the South Western outskirts of the picturesque and historic village of Worth Matravers and the coastal paths of the Jurassic Coast with walking access to Winspit and Chapmans Pool are close by.

Unique properties in such a tranquil setting rarely become available. Architecturally designed, Sand Dollar House was built during the latter part of the 20th Century and has been impeccably styled to the highest specification and detail throughout. Amongst the outstanding features are the hand crafted exterior doors and windows, galleried entrance hall with oak spiral staircase and spacious landing with vaulted ceilings, attractive apex and circular windows. In addition, there are two South facing sun rooms to enjoy the stunning views over the landscaped gardens, the adjoining countryside and the sea.

The generously sized accommodation has been arranged to take advantage of  the  abundance of natural light created by the high ceilings and expansive glazed windows and doors. Entertaining opportunities are afforded on an extensive scale. It is a graceful, relaxed home with a range of excellent reception rooms including 2 living rooms, sun rooms, study and the superb galleried hall and landing creates a dramatic entrance.

The front courtyard welcomes you to the expansive open plan galleried hall, with feature oak spiral staircase and stone tiled floor. Leading off is the impressive living room, superbly glazed to frame the view taking advantage of the breathtaking southerly views over the countryside and to the sea. Double doors lead to a sun room to enjoy the views and gives access to the rear garden, harmoniously blending the indoor/outdoor living space. The spacious dining room which commands similar views is centred between both the garden and sun room with access to each. The large kitchen has been designed to create a family breakfast room. The garden room leading off has similar views to the sun room and also provides access to the garden.  In addition on the ground floor, there is a study/bedroom 4, bathroom and utility room with access to the garden.
