Description

This detached farmhouse presents a truly rare chance for renovation enthusiasts, set within approximately a quarter of an acre in the picturesque landscape of the Purbeck Hills. Originally constructed in the 1800s and expanded in the 1930s, this property offers great potential for sympathetic restoration that honors its historical significance. Located on the outskirts of Corfe Castle, Ailwood is surrounded by stunning countryside views, making it an ideal setting for those seeking tranquility and natural beauty. While the building currently requires a comprehensive refurbishment—including structural repairs, rewiring, plumbing updates, insulation improvements, and window replacements—it also provides a blank canvas for creative reimagining. The generous plot size and the possibility for expansion (subject to planning permission) further enhance its investment appeal. With its characterful features and serene location, this farmhouse could become a unique and charming residence following a dedicated renovation effort.
