3 bedroom detached house for sale

Half Acre is situated in a quiet and secluded position nestled in a small private residential cul-de-sac of individually built properties on the Eastern outskirts of this historic village. The house was constructed in the 1950s, with a small extension having been added by the current owners enlarging the sitting room and master bedroom enhancing the view of the most attractive large semi-secluded landscaped garden and nearby open country and heathland.

There is a sizeable garden predominantly at the rear of the property which in our opinion, in addition to extending and remodelling the current property there is scope to create a separate plot. A pre-planning application has been submitted and this has been favourably received by Dorset Council. Full details are available upon request. It should be noted that there are restrictive covenants which affect the property. Such covenants would need to be varied, as they have been with other properties in the neighbourhood, prior to any new development taking place.

The quintessential village of Corfe Castle lies at the centre of the Isle of Purbeck and sits to the West of the seaside resort of Swanage (5 miles distant) with its fine, safe, sandy beach and the market town of Wareham a similar distance, which has main line rail links to London Waterloo (approx 2.5 hours). 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.

As you enter the house, the entrance hall leads to a generously sized attractive sitting room which is particularly light with both South and West aspects. It has a brick fireplace and double glazed doors which open onto a paved terrace effortlessly blending inside and out. Double doors lead through to a separate dining room. There is a good sized kitchen and a separate utility room completes the ground floor accommodation.
