Description

This charming Grade II Listed Purbeck stone cottage presents a unique renovation opportunity, rich in character with traditional features such as beamed ceilings and an inviting local stone fireplace. The cottage has suffered from some water ingress, necessitating refurbishment to restore its former charm. Upon entering, you'll find a functional kitchen equipped with integral hob, Belfast sink, and ample storage, perfectly suited for reconfiguration to maximize utility. The spacious living room boasts a large feature fireplace where a woodburning stove could enhance the atmosphere. Direct access to a stone flagged patio and the walled front garden creates potential for both indoor and outdoor living spaces. The ground floor includes a practical shower room that can benefit from modern updates. Upstairs are two well-proportioned bedrooms, both offering views of the picturesque front garden—ideal for personalizing your living space. The expansive front garden is adorned with mature fruit trees and enclosed by original Purbeck dry stone walls. There’s potential to revitalize this outdoor area into your own private retreat or vegetable garden. Located close to Swanage's amenities and countryside, this property holds great promise as a restoration project, waiting for someone with vision to bring it back to life.
