Corfe Castle

This superior detached house of cottage style design, together with a two storey detached stone barn, is conveniently located in the village of Corfe Castle and is set well back from East Street.

Pound Barn Cottage offers well planned accommodation with a good sized garden, situated mainly to the rear of the property.

The cottage is thought to have been constructed during the 1970s with attractive elevations of natural Purbeck stone, the roof covered with Bradstone concrete tiles. The two storey stone barn is Grade II Listed and is constructed of solid Purbeck stone under a pitched roof covered with Purbeck stone tiles. The barn is Listed as being of historic interest and is believed to date back to the 18th Century.
