Sonali Shah visits Dorset to be reunited with house hunters who wanted coastal views.

Sonali Shah revisits Dorset to be reunited with her house hunters who had a £500,000 budget to retire to a property with coastal views.

Sonali Shah revisits the maritime county of Dorset to be reunited with her house hunters who had a £500,000 budget to retire to a property with coastal views and have set up home in one of the houses Sonali originally showed them. She discovers how they have put their own personal stamp on it and how it provides the writer's retreat one of them dreamed of.

Sonali's house buyers also take her to Abbotsbury Swannery, one of their favourite Dorset beauty spots, as well as Bridport, where she drops in on a thriving local knitting group, a port of call for friendly chat over the clacking of needles.
