High Street, Langton Matravers

CHARACTER PURBECK STONE 4 BEDROOM COTTAGE IN POPULAR VILLAGE LOCATION WITH OFF ROAD PARKING, LARGE GARDEN & MAGNIFICENT VIEWS OVER THE PURBECK HILLS Langton Matravers is very popular for walking with a number of recognised trails passing the village. Probably the best known is the ‘Priest’s Way’ which starts in Swanage passes quarries and open fields with amazing views over the sea and Purbeck Hills ending in Worth Matravers. Along the coastline are old cliff quarries, Winspit, Seacombe and closest to Langton Matravers, Dancing Ledge. Most of this section of the Jurassic Coast is under National Trust conservation and Purbeck stone is still quarried, although further in land rather than cliff edge. Courtfield Cottage is traditionally built of Purbeck Stone under a stone tiled roof located at the higher end of the village providing elevated views over the Purbeck countryside. Having been in the same family for 40 years it has been a comfortable holiday home for the family and in more recent years as a holiday let. It has also been recently extended but the final fix internals to the ground floor of the extension have not been finished, so there is some work to be done. A storm porch covers the front door which opens directly into the Living Room, full of character with flagstone floor, ceiling beams and an inglenook fireplace complete with original bread oven alcove.  A cosy room with ample space for comfortable seating. A door leads through to the Kitchen, at the rear of the house, designed with a good range of storage units, inset sink and gas hob, eye level double oven, and services/space for dishwasher and fridge/freezer.
