A warm welcome awaits at this stunning house, which is the perfect setting for a family holiday spent exploring the beautiful scenery of the Dorset National Landscape. Corfe Castle itself is home to atmospheric castle ruins as well as picture-postcard streets, lined with historic stone cottages. Drive the 4 miles to Swanage, where you can find classic seaside amusements, sandy shores and colourful beach huts. For nature lovers, a visit to Studland Bay (5 miles) is essential. Under the care of the National Trust this area boasts expansive sandy beaches and protected heathlands, ideal for walking and wildlife watching. Just 7 miles away, Old Harry Rocks offers dramatic chalk formations and breathtaking coastal views, perfect for photography. A 9-mile drive leads to Durdle Door, a striking natural limestone arch that stands as one of Dorset’s most iconic landmarks. Nearby Lulworth Cove, with its clear turquoise waters and fascinating geology, provides an unforgettable seaside experience.
The covered doorway opens into a welcoming entrance hallway with the first of five bedrooms immediately to the right. This light and bright room is set to the front of the house with a striking bay window and furnished with a king-size bed. Here you’ll have your own en-suite shower room with WC. Heading further along the hall will take you past a separate understairs WC and to the inviting lounge. This sumptuous room has a bay window, wood burner effect gas fire and a Smart TV, making it the ideal spot for a cosy evening in. Just next door is the jewel in the crown of the property, a fabulous open plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with skylights and sliding doors onto the garden. The kitchen area boasts a generous island, perfect for cooking together or enjoying your favourite aperitif. There is a spacious Ercol dining table opposite where you can relax over a meal, or settle down on the L- shaped sofa and watch a show on the Smart TV. Leading from this room is a handy utility and another door to the garden. Heading back into the entrance hall you can take the stairs to the first floor. On the right is a super-king-size bedroom with a beautiful en-suite bathroom, where you can enjoy a soak in the bath or take a refreshing shower. This room also has a WC. Across the landing are a further two bedrooms, a twin zip-and-link (which can be arranged as a super-king-size on request) with a shower room and WC next door and a king-size with an en-suite shower room. A further staircase rises to the second floor where the final bedroom is located. This charming room has a dormer window, king-size bed and en-suite bathroom with bath, separate shower, WC and a view of Corfe Castle. Due to the setting in the eaves some areas of restricted head height should be anticipated.
Sliding doors lead from the lounge/kitchen/diner into the garden. A generous terrace spans the back of the house and there is a second patio at the end of the garden, both with furniture, so you can make the most of this west facing space as the sun goes down. Spend lazy afternoons in the garden room, where you can immerse yourself in nature, relax and unwind – whatever the weather. To the front of the property is a gravel parking apron with space for four cars.
