Description

Nestled in the picturesque village of Worth Matravers, this quaint Purbeck stone cottage presents an enticing renovation opportunity. The property is positioned within a generous plot, providing the potential for upward expansion, pending necessary planning permissions. Upon entry, you are welcomed by a bright hallway that leads to a well-lit sitting room, featuring large dual-aspect windows that overlook both front and rear gardens. The space is complemented by a traditional Purbeck stone fireplace, ideal for creating a cozy atmosphere during cooler evenings. The kitchen offers vintage mid-century styling with ample space for modernization or reconfiguration, which could greatly enhance its functionality and aesthetic appeal. The sleeping quarters are thoughtfully laid out; the principal bedroom includes an en-suite shower room, while two additional double bedrooms benefit from charming views of the garden and surrounding greenery. The outside space further enriches this property, offering two distinct garden areas that provide both privacy and opportunities for outdoor enjoyment. A converted stone outbuilding adds character and serves as a delightful sheltered dining area. With planning permission potentially available for expansion into the roof space, there is considerable scope to increase living space within this characterful home. Worth Matravers boasts historical significance and charm, making it a prime location for holiday letting or residential investment due to its year-round appeal amidst the stunning Jurassic Coast landscape.
