Description

This charming Grade II Listed cottage, believed to have origins dating back to 1750, is situated in the picturesque village of Corfe Castle, just a short stroll from the renowned castle ruins and village square. Constructed from natural Purbeck stone beneath a traditional stone tiled roof, Hibbs Cottage offers significant character and charm while presenting an excellent renovation opportunity for potential buyers. The property encompasses an enclosed rear garden with access from Abbots Cottages for parking convenience. The interior features a warm living room complete with an Inglenook stone fireplace, window seat, and exposed beamed ceiling that reflects its historical roots. The kitchen is equipped with light cabinetry, contrasting wooden worktops, as well as essential appliances including a gas hob and electric oven. A compact cloakroom is also located on the ground floor. Upstairs, you will find a generously sized bedroom alongside an accessible shower room featuring standard fixtures. While some updating is necessary, this property represents a unique chance to invest in a piece of history within the beautiful surroundings of the Isle of Purbeck. The cottage’s location affords easy access to nearby attractions such as Swanage's beach and Wareham's mainline rail links to London Waterloo, making it an appealing choice for both personal residence or rental investment.
