Description

This is an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a detached farmhouse set in grounds of approximately a quarter of an acre. 3, Ailwood Farm is situated in a superb rural position, sheltered by the Purbeck Hills and commands fine country views to the South. The original building is thought to date back to the 1800s, although extended during the 1930s and offers potential for sympathetic restoration.

Directions   From Corfe Castle take the A351 to Swanage, after approximately 2.5miles, at Harmans Cross turn left (signposted for Tabbits Hill Lane), approximately three quarters of a miles further turn right at the T-junction. The property is then about a third of a miles on the left hand side. The post code for the property is BH20 5JA.

Ailwood is a tranquil rural hamlet situated just outside of the historic village of Corfe Castle, in the heart of the Isle of Purbeck. Set admist gently rolling countryside and framed by the dramatic Purbeck Hills, Ailwood offers a peaceful and secluded environment, ideal for those seeking a quiet lifestyle immersed in nature. The surrounding area is rich in wildlife and popular with walkers, cyclists, and nature enthusiasts, with extensive networks or bridleways and footpaths. Transport links include the heritage Swanage Steam Railway, connecting Corfe Castle to Swanage, and mainline rail services to London Waterloo from Wareham, some 5 miles distant.

This characterful farmhouse requires complete renovation throughout, offering a blank canvas for those wishing to restore or reimagine the space to their own specification.

Internally, the accommodation would benefit from a full program of works including structural repairs, rewiring, new plumbing, insulation, windows, and internal reconfiguration. However, the building's inherent character and superb setting beneath the Purbeck Hills offer the chance to create something truly special.

With countryside views, a generous plot, and enormous scope, subject to planning consent, this is a unique project in a rural location.
