5 bed detached house for sale

Townsend Mead, Corfe Castle BH20

Set in a quiet and secluded location, this versatile family home is nestled within a small private cul-de-sac on the outskirts of the historic village of Corfe Castle. The property enjoys a peaceful setting adjacent to Corfe Common and approximately three quarters of a mile from the picturesque village square and the iconic Castle ruins. It was built during the 1950s although extended and remodelled in more recent times and is of traditional cavity construction with external elevations of natural Purbeck stone under a tiled roof.

Offering a unique blend of privacy, space and proximity to natural and historic landmarks, this is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a distinctive home in a sought-after location. The Drey has the considerable advantage of spacious living accommodation, attractive landscaped grounds, ample parking and a detached double garage which could be developed further, subject to consent. The garden cabin is perfectly suited as a home office, providing a peaceful and private work space away from the main house residence.

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 mile 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 is classified as being of Outstanding Natural Beauty incorporating the Jurassic Coast.

The spacious entrance hall welcomes you to The Drey and leads through to the exceptionally spacious, dual aspect living room with feature wood-burning stove and wooden floor, perfect for entertaining or relaxing in comfort. The stylish kitchen/dining room features an extensive range of two-tone blue units, contrasting worktops, Aga and separate built-in electric oven, double fridge/freezer, and a central island unit, creating an attractive and practical space for everyday living and family meals. Double doors open to the paved patio and the rear garden. There are three double bedrooms on the ground floor; bedrooms three and four both have double doors opening to patio areas and the garden.
