THE HYDE, LANGTON MATRAVERS

This detached chalet style bungalow is situated in a semi-rural position in an unmade cul-de-sac on the southern outskirts of Langton Matravers, yet within easy reach of the centre of the village. It is thought to have been built during the early 1960s and is considered to be of traditional cavity construction with part Purbeck stone external elevations to the front, the remainder being brick, under a concrete interlocking tiled roof.

Minstead offers spacious accommodation with views over the adjoining countryside. It also has the considerable advantage of a large cottage garden adjoining farmland, an attached garage with ample workshop space and off-road parking for one vehicle. Open countryside and the coastal path to the sea at Dancing Ledge are close by.

The village of Langton Matravers lies approximately 2.5 miles to the West of the seaside resort of Swanage and some 9 miles from the market town of Wareham, the latter having main line rail link to London Waterloo (approximately 2.5 hours). Much of the area surrounding the village is classified as being of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
