Description

If your dream is to wake up looking out to sea in your own stone cottage, then this may be the home for you.

Stepping in from under the traditional porch, you enter a bright HALLWAY which forms the nucleus of the home. To the right is a convenient GUEST CLOAKROOM. Directly ahead, the space opens into the SITTING ROOM, where a wide picture window frames views towards the sea and the Isle of Wight, an enchanting and recurring outlook. A contemporary log burner sits in one corner, while at the far end double glazed doors open into the CONSERVATORY. This space makes the most of the southerly and westerly aspect, providing an additional living and entertaining area, with doors opening out to the garden, with a Purbeck stone wall and artisan gate offering further privacy.

At the opposite end of the sitting room, double doors open into the KITCHEN / BREAKFAST ROOM. A dining table makes the most of the sea views, with double doors opening out to far reaching views. The kitchen itself is fitted with contemporary cabinetry and modern appliances. A window above the sink looks across the side garden and a charming village view framed by a mature tree, with a further window enhancing the natural light. From here, a door leads into the UTILITY ROOM with additional storage, a second sink and direct access to the garden…perfect for preparing freshly harvested vegetables and fruit.

Returning to the hallway, a SNUG is tucked away, ideal as a quiet retreat or additional bedroom when required.

The staircase is flooded with natural light from a rooflight above. To the right at the top is the PRINCIPAL BEDROOM, a generous room with magnificent sea views, built-in storage and excellent natural light. The ENSUITE features a spacious walk-in monsoon shower and a window with views across open countryside.

The LANDING provides further storage cupboards, with the FAMILY BATHROOM close by. An archway leads to BEDROOM TWO, a spacious double overlooking the front, and BEDROOM THREE, currently used as an office but equally suited as a single bedroom, with built-in storage and a pleasant outlook over the village.

Outside
Entering the grounds of Garfield Cottage, there is a generous amount of parking, including space for a large camper van and family car, with an electric point already here (it should be easy to install EVC) and planning permission for a carport. A large forecourt provides additional guest parking, and a GARAGE is currently used as a gym, with potential to incorporate it into the main house.

The main garden enjoys far-reaching views and offers an excellent entertaining space, with a dining area positioned by the conservatory. A summerhouse, set beneath a mature tree, provides a peaceful retreat or potential office or studio. In addition, a useful garden shed, complete with power and lighting, is neatly tucked to one side.

The garden wraps around the house, creating a sense of seclusion, while the open views towards the sea give the impression of ‘rolling acres’ without the upkeep.

Location
The village of Langton Matravers offers a combination of traditional Purbeck character, strong community and immediate access to some of the finest countryside and coastline in Dorset. Garfield Lane is one of the historic lanes that grew organically around the village and leads from the centre out towards open countryside and former quarry workings, with connections to footpaths across the Isle of Purbeck and onwards to the coastal paths.
Local amenities include a regular bus service, village pub, excellent primary school and an active parish church hosting events throughout the year, from a summer fete to a Christmas Tree Festival. There is also easy access to Wareham for mainline rail services to London, and nearby Swanage for year-round access to the beach.

About DOMVS, Wareham

8 South Street, Wareham, BH20 4LT

The DOMVS Approach to Selling Property

We always start with a clear strategy. We take time to understand your home, the local market and buyer behaviour, ensuring pricing and positioning are right from the outset. Every step in the process is meticulously considered, from presentation and marketing through to negotiation and completion.

We get that no two homes are the same, and neither is the way they should be launched. We tailor the approach to suit the property, whether that is a full market launch, an ‘offers over’ strategy or a discreet introduction through our Whisper List. Our role is to generate the right level of interest and convert that into a successful sale.

Once a sale is agreed, our dedicated sales progression team works proactively with all parties to resolve issues early and maintain momentum. This combination of preparation, negotiation and progression is what protects your sale and delivers results.

Our approach is shaped by three core values: integrity, empathy and determination. We give clear, honest advice, understand the personal nature of moving, and remain focused on securing the strongest outcome for our clients.

Our Marketing

Every property benefits from professional photography, carefully written descriptions and, where appropriate, enhanced visuals such as drone footage or virtual staging. This is supported by our in-house marketing team, who deliver targeted campaigns designed to reach an engaged and relevant audience. Our sellers benefit from:

• A fully optimised website attracting an average of 20,500 visitors each month

• Targeted email and digital campaigns to a database of over 20,000 engaged subscribers

• Social media activity generating over 60,000 monthly views and thousands of website visits

• SEO-led campaigns and tailored landing pages designed to connect specific buyers with specific properties

• Access to national and local press opportunities

Our Network

As members of The Guild of Property Professionals and The Mayfair Office, we combine local expertise with national and international reach, including a presence in London. Our Dorset-wide team works collaboratively, sharing buyers across all offices and introducing properties to audiences beyond their immediate location.

About Our Wareham Team

Our Wareham office, on the town’s bustling high street, sits at the gateway to the Isle of Purbeck, an area known for its coastline, countryside and distinctive Dorset character. You’ll be working with Greg, who brings more than three decades of estate agency experience, alongside his local team of property specialists, all with a deep understanding of the town and its surrounding villages. From country houses and quaint cottages to modern developments, we know how to present property in a way that resonates with both local and relocating buyers.

Our Services

Our sales team is complemented by a dedicated lettings and property management team, providing a fully managed service designed to protect property investments and minimise day-to-day involvement. Our holiday lettings team also supports owners seeking an alternative income stream.

Our new homes team works closely with developers and buyers, offering guidance from initial launch through to successful sales, while our Land & Development consultancy advises on site acquisition, planning and value optimisation for both individual plots and larger opportunities.

This breadth of expertise ensures our clients benefit from informed, joined-up advice, whatever their property goals.
