Corfe Castle

This charming Grade II Listed terraced cottage, thought to date back to the 18th Century, is situated within easy reach of the Village Square and Castle Ruins.

Character features include beamed ceilings to the principal rooms, Purbeck stone fireplaces, one with fitted wood burning stove and it has a good sized Southwest facing rear garden with access/right of way to Corfe Common. The building is of natural Purbeck stone construction under a stone tiled roof.

The quintessential village of Corfe Castle lies at the centre of the Isle of Purbeck and sits to the West of the seaside resort of Swanage (5 miles distant) with its fine, safe, sandy beach and the market town of Wareham a similar distance, which has main line rail links to London Waterloo (approx 2.5 hours). Much of the area surrounding the village is classified as being of Outstanding Natural Beauty incorporating the Jurassic Coast, part of the World Heritage Coastline. Kimmeridge Bay, the stunning Lulworth Cove and a wealth of dramatic coastal walks are nearby.

Important Note: There will be a National Trust covenant over the property which will look to restrict any additional development. Full details upon request.
