Castle View is a small terrace of 3 cottages situated in a tranquil setting on the outskirts of the village of Langton Matravers. Approached by an unmade lane adjoining farmland, it enjoys excellent views over open countryside towards Corfe Castle and the Purbeck Hills. It is ideal for a country retreat and for walkers with the iconic Jurassic Coastal walks nearby.
The cottage has been owned by the same family for many years and is immaculately presented throughout offering a relaxed home with an easy living style. The character of the property has been well maintained and is decorated in a neutral décor to maximise the light and spatial feeling.
It is thought to date back to the latter part of the 19th Century of stone, under a slate roof. Rear additions, which are externally cement rendered, have been added in more recent times.

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.
