This Grade II Listed terraced cottage is situated within easy reach of the Village Square and Castle Ruins and backs onto ‘Halves Common’. The cottage is thought to date back to the early 1700s and is of Purbeck stone construction under a thatched roof. We have been made aware by the seller that the rear of the thatch requires renewal and quotations for this work are available upon request.
Brushwood Cottage offers the perfect blend of contemporary style and timeless charm, with its neutral decor throughout and beautifully preserved original character features. It also has the advantage of a good sized rear garden which backs directly on to Halves Common providing a sense of open space and tranquillity as well as views of the Castle.
The quintessential village of Corfe Castle lies at the centre of the Isle of Purbeck and sits to the West of the seaside resort of Swanage (5 miles distant) with its fine, safe, sandy beach and the market town of Wareham a similar distance, which has main line rail links to London Waterloo (approx 2.5 hours). Much of the area surrounding the village is classified as being of Outstanding Natural Beauty incorporating the Jurassic Coast, part of the World Heritage Coastline. Kimmeridge Bay, the stunning Lulworth Cove and a wealth of dramatic coastal walks are nearby.
As you enter the Brushwood Cottage, the characterful living room is generously sized and has an inglenook fireplace fitted with electric log burner stove and beamed ceiling. An inner hall leads to the contemporary kitchen at the rear of the cottage. It is fitted with a range of pale blue units, contrasting worktops with integrated electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, washing machine and dishwasher and there is access to the paved patio and rear garden, harmoniously blending the indoor/outdoor living space.
