Environment
Steeped in history, the village of Winterbourne Abbas lies Southwest of Dorchester in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (aonb). Winterbourne Abbas has ancient origins, with evidence of human activity in the area dating back to prehistoric times. It was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086.
Winterbourne Abbas village benefits from the Coach House Inn which dates back to the early 1800s; the Church of St Mary dating back to 12th century; and in a nearby wooded glade lies a prehistoric stone circle constructed around 4000 years ago known as "The Nine Stones".
Old Orchard House was built in 2005 on an old Apple Orchard located on Copyhold Lane. This substantial property benefits from being located up a Bridleway/Leafy Lane and is just a 2-minute walk from the local bus stop to Dorchester. Winterbourne Valley First School is situated in the village and central Dorchester is home to many highly regarded schools covering all age groups.
Location
The Village provides many areas in which to ramble off the beaten track. The local area is popular with families and those who enjoy tranquillity and exploration of the surrounding rural area which was home to Thomas Hardy, the renowned English novelist and poet. Similarly, the local beaches, the Jurassic coast (a World Heritage Site), the historic village of Abbotsbury, and Martinstown with its local post office and fresh farm milk point are all within easy reach of Old Orchard House. The market town of Bridport and Yeovil town are just as conveniently reached.
Via the A35, a Fuel station with well stocked shop is located in the village. Poundbury with further shops and restaurants is a mere 8 minute drive away. The market town of Dorchester includes the County Hospital, an array of shops, restaurants, bars, parks and transport links. For travel and commuting purposes, Dorchester provides two train stations: Dorchester South to London Waterloo and Dorchester West to Bath, and Bristol.
