5 Bedroom Detached House

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and versatile detached family home with views of open country and the Castle Ruins in the sought after West Street, and adjoining Corfe Common at the rear. It was built by the current owners in the early 2000s and has attractive external elevations of natural Purbeck stone under a pitched roof covered with slate.

Appletrees is a unique home ideal for families, multi-generational living or those seeking additional income potential. It offers exceptionally generous living accommodation with a stylish modern decor set in attractive grounds adjoining Corfe Common and has views to the Castle ruins in the distance. The self-contained one bedroom annexe offers excellent flexibility - ideal as guest accommodation, a holiday let, or even as a home office - and has scope for extension into the attic room, subject to necessary consents.

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 L-shaped entrance hall welcomes you to Appletrees and leads through to the exceptionally spacious, dual aspect living room complete with views of Corfe Castle and a charming wood-burning stove, perfect for entertaining or relaxing in comfort. The stylish, kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of cream units, contrasting worktops and integrated appliances providing an attractive and practical space for everyday living and family meals. Double doors open to the dual aspect garden room which in turn has access to the rear garden. There are two double bedrooms on the ground floor, both served by a spacious wet room. There is also a utility on this level.
