Higher Gardens, Corfe Castle, Wareham BH20

This superb detached chalet style residence is well presented and quietly situated near the southern outskirts of Corfe Castle approximately three quarters of a mile from the Village Square and Castle Ruins and within easy reach of Corfe Common and open country. It is thought to have been built during the 1960s and has external elevations of natural Purbeck stone under a concrete tiled roof.

Stancombe has been extended and refurbished by the current owner throughout and offers particularly spacious family accommodation with views of the Purbeck Hills, a South facing garden and a detached double garage.

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.

The glazed entrance porch, with double doors welcomes you to Stancombe and leads through to the spacious hall, which is central to the accommodation. The generous living room is dual aspect and is fitted with an electric fire set in an attractive surround. Double doors open to the triple aspect garden room with direct access to the South facing garden at the rear.
