Description
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.
