STUNNING CHARACTER COTTAGE IN PICTURESQUE VILLAGE LOCATION
Nestled in the idyllic village of Kingston, situated in a conservation area, this enchanting Grade II listed character cottage has been recently renovated to an exceptionally high standard, seamlessly combining traditional features with contemporary comforts.
The village of Kingston is ideally located between the historic market town of Wareham and the seaside resort of Swanage, perched on the Purbeck Ridge which overlooks Corfe Castle. Renowned for its dramatic hilltop castle ruins and picturesque stone cottages, Corfe Castle is a quintessential English village that offers a wide array of local amenities, including a well-regarded school, church, selection of restaurants, shops, and traditional public houses.
Kingston provides a perfect balance of rural tranquillity and convenient access to some of Dorset's most stunning attractions. The sandy beaches of Studland are within easy reach, offering unspoiled coastal beauty, with a chain ferry providing a direct link to Poole and Bournemouth. Set in the heart of the Isle of Purbeck, Kingston is surrounded by breath-taking landscapes, making it a paradise for walkers and nature enthusiasts. The area is crisscrossed with scenic footpaths, including trails that lead directly from the village to explore the surrounding countryside. Additionally, a charming steam railway connects Corfe Castle to the neighbouring villages and Swanage.
The inviting sitting room boasts a striking Purbeck stone inglenook fireplace, complete with a wood-burning stove, beamed ceilings, and elegant stone flooring, creating a cosy and welcoming atmosphere. A separate dining room, also featuring a fireplace with a wood-burning stove and stone flooring, offers the perfect space for entertaining.
The bespoke kitchen is a true highlight, with handcrafted units, integrated appliances, and beautiful wooden worktops. Large windows provide breath-taking views over the garden and the open fields beyond, enhancing the sense of tranquillity.
The ground floor also includes a stylish wet room with a shower, WC, and basin. Upstairs, three charming bedrooms await, each with exposed beams and wooden flooring. Bedrooms one and two offer stunning views of the garden and the rolling countryside.
Outside, the large landscaped garden is a haven of peace, featuring a raised patio area with an open-air shower, WC and attached garden store with separate woodstore. A lower BBQ area with additional patio space is perfect for alfresco dining, while the remainder of the garden is laid to lawn, with paved stone patios at the rear boundary overlooking the rural fields offering space for additional seating.
Modern conveniences include a Nest-controlled heating system, electric underfloor heating, panel heaters, off-road parking, an EV charger, and single glazing. This unique cottage is truly a rare find, offering the best of both worlds in a stunning setting.
