4 bed detached house for sale

Durnford Drove, Langton Matravers, Swanage BH19

This superior detached chalet bungalow is situated on the southern outskirts of the picturesque village of Langton Matravers. Open countryside and the Jurassic coastal path to the sea at Dancing Ledge and beyond are close by. It is thought to have been built during the 1930s, although it has been extended and remodelled by the current owners in recent times. It is of traditional cavity construction mostly cement rendered with Purbeck stone dressings to the front, under a pitched roof covered with concrete tiles.

Generously proportioned living spaces make this an ideal choice for a family home or coastal getaway. It is well presented throughout in a neutral decor and has distant views over the village to the sea in the distance.
