Halves Cottages, Corfe Castle

This semi-detached bungalow, formerly local authority owned, is well situated at the end of a residential cul-de-sac adjoining Corfe Common. It is thought to have been constructed during the 1970s, although substantially altered and extended in more recent times, and has attractive external elevations of natural Purbeck stone under a concrete tiled roof.

38 Halves Cottages offers spacious and well planned accommodation and stands in an attractive, good sized garden, adjoining Corfe Common at the rear. The current owners rent a garage in a nearby block, and it is believed that this can be carried over to a purchaser, if required.

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. 

The L-shaped hall is central to the accommodation and welcomes you to this quietly situated village property. Leading off, the spacious living room has casement doors opening to the garden, blending indoor/outdoor living. The kitchen is fitted with a range of painted wooden units, contrasting worktops, integrated gas hob and double oven, and space for free-standing appliances. There is ample room for a dining table and chairs and double doors open to the garden at the rear, further extending the entertaining space.
