Property info

Sitting in the pretty Frome Valley in the village of Frampton, The Elbow is a delightful 16th-century thatched cottage, with an original Tudor plasterwork ceiling amongst its many characterful features.

Neighborhood info

Information correct at the time of writing. The village of Frampton nestles in the Frome Valley amid rolling Dorset countryside, 6 miles north west of the county town Dorchester with its shops, restaurants, cinemas, museums, and Iron Age hill fort Maiden Castle. The nearby village of Maiden Newton is only a five minute drive away, and has a good village store, a Spar and petrol station, a newsagent and cafe, a local pub and a restaurant. Sydling St. Nicholas is a picturesque village only a short drive away, winding along the little Sydling Water with tiny connecting bridges to the ancient thatched cottages which line the banks and has a popular pub - The Greyhound, which has received national accolades for the quality of its food. Other nearby attractive villages are Cattistock, Toller Porcorum and Cerne Abbas which is the home of the Cerne Giant an ancient naked figure sculpted into the chalk hillside. The village also has three popular pubs and a tea shop, an ancient abbey with pretty gardens and many beautiful cottages to admire. The Elbow is ideally situated for easy trips to the popular nearby towns of Beaminster and Bridport, and the world famous Jurassic Coast , with its wonderful beaches such as Burton Bradstock, Cogden and Eype, is only a 25 minute drive away. Eggardon Hill, an amazing Iron Age fort with incredible views over West Dorset, is a 10 minute drive away. West Dorset is renowned for its lively, popular and eclectic food scene, and regular local food markets are held offering visitors a taste of the delicious local produce. Mapperton Gardens is a short drive away from Frampton and well worth a visit. Kingcombe Visitor Centre is well-worth a visit. Leading you to a national nature reserve; it is the perfect way to unwind and immerse yourself in the tranquillity of nature.
