Description

This semi-detached cottage, believed to date back to the 1800s, features solid stone construction with partially rendered elevations and a traditional pitched roof adorned with stone tiles. Although the interior requires modernization, this property presents an excellent opportunity for renovation, making it a potential gem for discerning buyers looking to invest in a family home. Upon entering, you are welcomed into a spacious open-plan living and dining area characterized by flagstone flooring. The living space includes an open fireplace, adding a cozy charm, while the dining area showcases exposed stone walls and provides access to the rear garden. The kitchen is functional but in need of updating and offers pleasant dual aspect views. The ground floor also accommodates a single bedroom complete with an en-suite shower room. Upstairs, two well-proportioned bedrooms await. The larger of the two benefits from fitted wardrobes and both offer picturesque views over the valley towards the stunning Purbeck Hills. The family bathroom is located at the rear of the property, also enjoying serene farmland vistas. The outdoor space comprises a split-level garden primarily laid to grass with some established shrubs and trees, along with access to a timber storage shed—ideal for gardening tools or additional storage. Situated in Langton Matravers at the heart of the Isle of Purbeck, this property takes advantage of its proximity to Swanage (2.5 miles) with its sandy beach and vibrant seaside atmosphere. Approximately 9 miles away lies Wareham, which features a mainline rail link to London Waterloo—making commuting feasible while still enjoying rural tranquility. The surrounding landscape is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, incorporating part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, further enhancing its appeal. With all mains services connected and council tax band D applicable for 2025/2026, this cottage stands as not just a home but as a promising investment opportunity in one of Dorset’s most sought-after regions.
