This well presented semi-detached house is situated within easy reach of the Village Square and Castle Ruins and backs onto 'Halves Common'.

Built in the mid 1950s, the property has front elevations of natural Purbeck stone, the remainder cement rendered under a plain clay tiled.

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.

At the rear of the cottage, the kitchen is fitted with a range of modern white units, contrasting worktops with integrated gas hob, electric oven, and spaces for freestanding fridge/freezer, washing machine and dishwasher and there is access to the rear garden, harmoniously blending the indoor/outdoor living space.
