Privately positioned at the end of a quiet residential cul-de-sac, approximately two-thirds of a mile from the Village Square and Castle Ruins, 12 Mead Road is a well-proportioned detached house with views of the Purbeck Hills. It has an attractive landscaped garden that backs onto woodland and the open countryside of Corfe Common, accessed via the steam railway bridge to the rear.
Built in the 1960s with natural Purbeck stone elevations beneath a pitched tiled roof, the property offers generous internal space combined with a highly sought-after village location.
Corfe Castle is at the heart of the Isle of Purbeck, known for its iconic castle ruins and access to National Trust countryside. Swanage, with its sandy beach, lies five miles to the east, and Wareham with mainline rail services to London Waterloo is a similar distance to the north. The surrounding landscape is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, forming part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.
The main house has a spacious entrance hall with large fitted cupboard welcomes you to the property. Leading off, the generous dual aspect living room has a large picture window giving views over the rear garden. The family kitchen is fitted with a range of wooden units with contrasting worktops, and has ample room for a dining table and chairs. Double doors open to the dining room, which has sliding doors through to the rear garden, harmoniously blending indoor/outdoor living. The sitting room provides a further space for relaxing and also has sliding doors to the rear garden. A generous home office with doors to the front and rear is ideal for working from home.
