Halves Cottages, Corfe Castle

The semi-detached bungalow, formerly local authority owned, is well situated at the end of a residential cul-de-sac adjoining Corfe Common. It is thought to have been constructed around 1950 and has attractive external elevations of natural Purbeck stone under a concrete tiled roof.

29 Halves Cottages stands in a good sized garden, adjoining Corfe Common at the rear. It offers spacious accommodation with pleasant open views across the village to the Purbeck Hills in the distance. It also has the advantage of off-road parking for several vehicles and scope to develop further, subject to planning.

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.
