Oak Cottage
Oak Cottage is a splendid example of early 20th-century Arts & Crafts architecture, a style celebrated for its emphasis on handcrafted details, quality materials and a deep appreciation for nature.
Built by Thomas Alfred Colfox, the great-grandfather of Symondsbury Estate’s current owner, Philip Colfox, it originally served as a home for Estate workers. Set at he edge of what was once the expansive Mill Orchard, the cottage offers views of numerous cherry trees and takes its name from the ancient oak trees nearby. Notably, Oak Cottage was one of the first houses in Symondsbury to feature running water and a flushing toilet!

Oak Cottage Overview
With picture-postcard views of Colmers Hill from your windows and a warm and cosy interior, Oak Cottage offers the best of both worlds. For those who enjoy having everything in easy reach, Symondsbury Estate’s café and shops are close at hand. However, the lure of the outdoors is equally as enticing, with Dorset’s rolling hills waiting to be explored right from your doorstep.
Once you’ve stepped through the picket gate into this cute, semi-detached cottage, you’ll find yourself in a delightful kitchen/diner where you can cook up a storm or sip wine in front of the roaring log burner. The bright sitting room is then the perfect place to sink into the comfy sofa and enjoy a night in. With a delightful private garden in which to relax and savour the views, plus a covered terrace that’s just right for indulging in a long breakfast, Oak Cottage is the ideal place to unwind. It is perfect for two couples or a family of four.
