AVAILABLE - Nr to Corfe Castle Wareham BH20 5JQ

Beautiful Grade II listed country house arranged over 3 floors in this idyllic rural location in the heart of the Isle of Purbeck. The house forms part of a country manor house dating back to approximately 17th Century, subsequently enlarged during the 18th and 19th Centuries. Some of the stonework in the house is reputed to have been sourced from nearby Corfe Castle after its destructions at the hands of Oliver Cromwell. The house boasts a large kitchen/breakfast room, elegant entertaining space, extensive grounds and use of the owner’s swimming pool (subject to their approval and terms) and offers a rare opportunity to reside in one of the Isle of Purbeck’s most beautiful country homes.
