Description

This charming Grade II Listed Purbeck stone cottage offers a unique opportunity for cash buyers seeking a renovation project. With its traditional features, including authentic latch and brace doors, exposed beams, and a distinctive Purbeck stone fireplace, this property promises to regain its former glory with some thoughtful restoration. The front garden is substantial, enclosed by a delightful dry stone wall and adorned with mature fruit trees, providing an inviting outdoor space that could be enhanced further. Inside, the kitchen has been partially upgraded and features essential amenities such as an integral hob and electric oven alongside ample wall units. However, for a modern living experience, additional improvements would be beneficial. The living room boasts a large feature fireplace, ideal for installing a woodburning stove, and leads directly to a stone patio area – perfect for outdoor entertaining. Upstairs are two well-proportioned bedrooms with lovely views of the garden; both have the potential to be beautifully transformed into relaxing spaces. The shower room is functional but would benefit from updating as part of the refurbishment effort. Situated just outside Swanage and surrounded by picturesque countryside, this property not only provides character but also investment potential in one of the area's oldest neighborhoods. With some damp issues noted that will need addressing along with general updates throughout, this cottage stands as an excellent canvas for restoration enthusiasts.
