Dragonflies Lodge in Martin

Dragonflies Lodge sits on a peaceful country lane in the village of Martin. Farmland and countryside surround the detached property in this Hampshire location within a registered dark sky area. The setting forms part of the Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Footpaths depart from the doorstep and lead into the fields. Martin Down National Nature Reserve features chalk grassland rich in wild orchids and habitats for rare butterflies and birds. Prehistoric sites dot the landscape providing additional interest along the trails.

The ground floor spaces are open plan with a combined kitchen, living area and sleeping space.

The lodge accommodation operates entirely on the ground floor. Open plan living includes comfortable seating positioned around a large Smart TV. The integrated kitchen area holds an electric hob, microwave, air fryer, slimline dishwasher and washing machine along with storage and hanging space.

The bathroom comes equipped with an adapted bath that has an access door and an overhead shower.

The private garden holds a flat lawn amid seasonal planting. Goldfinches and tree creepers frequent the space and hedgehogs appear seasonally. Outdoor dining furniture and a lockable shed for bicycles and freezer storage complete the outdoor area.

The dark sky conditions allow for clear views of the stars. The Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty surrounds the village with rolling heathland and further walking opportunities across the borders into Dorset and Wiltshire.

Fordingbridge at seven miles distance brings a range of independent shops and a riverside town atmosphere. Salisbury twelve miles away features weekly markets and historic architecture.
