This immaculately presented character cottage is the end of a small terrace of 3 situated on the outskirts of the village of Langton Matravers with open country nearby. As the name implies, it was originally a barn dating back some 200 years and converted into a residential dwelling during the 20th Century. It is constructed of stone under a stone tiled roof.
The property has been renovated to a high standard maintaining the character of the cottage, and there are views over open country to the Purbeck Hills from both bedrooms.
Langton Matravers lies at the heart of the Isle of Purbeck and sits to the West of the seaside resort of Swanage (2.5 miles distant), with its fine, safe, sandy beach and the market town of Wareham (some 9 miles),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.
