This superb chalet style detached house 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.
8 Battlemead has been refurbished by the current owner throughout and offers good sized accommodation with 2 reception rooms and 3 bedrooms. The principal bedroom with dressing area is particularly spacious and spans the full depth of the property.
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.
