About this property
Located just a mile north of Dorset s Jurassic coast and four miles south of Corfe Castle, the village of Worth Matravers is a splendid location for enjoying all that the Isle of Purbeck peninsula has to offer. In the village itself, and within walking distance of the cottage, a delightful tearoom is a great place to enjoy afternoon tea and is even open for evening meals on Saturday nights. The village pub, meanwhile, retains its original charm and has a pretty beer garden from where visitors can enjoy views towards the sea. To the east of the property, within a ten minute drive, the seaside town of Swanage offers a sandy beach with a Victorian pier where visitors can hire deckchairs and enjoy ice creams from one of the sea front shops. It is hard to imagine a property which better represents most people s idea of a picture perfect country cottage, and the owners have carefully preserved many of the original features to retain that charming cottage feel. This sympathetic sense of style is clearly in evidence in the lounge, an attractive room with wooden floors, inviting sofas, a warming wood burner, and a beamed ceiling, as well as a TV/DVD. The kitchen/diner too has been thoughtfully finished with a tiled floor, farmhouse table, and an excellent range of equipment including an oven, hob, microwave, fridge, and dishwasher, whilst the freezer, a second fridge, and a washing machine can be found tucked away in a separate utility room which also has a WC and hand basin. The master king size bedroom can also be found on the ground floor, and has been finished to a very high standard, with a beamed apex ceiling, oak floorboards, a seating area with a sofa and its own TV, and even a wood burner, all of which help to create a retreat like feel to this beautiful space. A shower room with a shower and WC can also be found on the ground floor, whilst a door from the kitchen opens onto traditional cottage stairs leading up to the three remaining bedrooms and family bathroom. The first of these is another king size room, again boasting its own seating area with a sofa, armchair, and a TV. The third bedroom is a smaller sized, yet nonetheless delightful double room, whilst the fourth is a pretty twin room and the family bathroom has a free standing bath, separate shower, WC and hand basin The property enjoys a fantastic amount of outside space, with generously sized terrace patio with garden furniture and a BBQ area next to the cottage, beyond which steps lead to an impressively large lawn, where children can happily play to their heart s content. A separate walled courtyard can also be found alongside the cottage. There is parking for four to five cars available on the driveway.
