BEST OFFERS BY 12 NOON, FRIDAY 19 AUGUST

This most attractive Grade II ListedPurbeck stone semi-detached cottage is quietly situated in a superb position on the edge of the picturesque village of Worth Matravers. There are views of the sea down the Winspit Valley from the garden and it is close to the World Heritage Coastline and the renowned beauty spots of Winspit and Chapmans Pool.

The exterior reflects the area's rich architectural history and the interior has a feeling of relaxed warmth offering an easy living style with some fine original character features. This delightful cottage seamlessly unites the peace and tranquility you would expect of a character home and the peacefulness of the open countryside around. The original building is thought to date back to the 18th Century although it has been enlarged and improved since that time.

Worth Matravers stands on a headland about 1 mile from the sea and is nationally renowned for its scenic beauty. The area is particularly known as a haven for walkers and naturalists and has remained completely unspoilt over the years.  4 miles to the East is the seaside resort of Swanage, and the market town of Wareham is some 9 miles distant, the latter having a main line rail link to London Waterloo (some 2.5 hours).  Much of the area is classified as being of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The living room enjoys good views of open countryside and welcomes you to this charming cottage. It has a polished stone fireplace and is decorated in a neutral decor to accentuate the light. The first floor is accessed from this room. The kitchen is at the rear of the cottage and has a vaulted ceiling. It is fitted with an attractive mix of cream units and shelving with ample space for a family dining table and a door to the rear garden. To the side of the kitchen is a cloakroom and family bathroom. The master bedroom is at the front of the cottage on the ground floor.
