Worth Cottage

Located just a mile north of Dorset s Jurassic coast and four miles south of Corfe Castle the village of Worth Matravers is a splendid location for enjoying all that the Isle of Purbeck peninsula has to offer. In the village itself and within walking distance of the cottage a delightful tearoom is a great place to enjoy afternoon tea and is even open for evening meals on Saturday nights. The village pub meanwhile retains its original charm and has a pretty beer garden from where visitors can enjoy views towards the sea. To the east of the property within a ten-minute drive the seaside town of Swanage offers a sandy beach with a Victorian pier where visitors can hire deckchairs and enjoy ice creams from one of the sea-front shops. It is hard to imagine a property which better represents most people s idea of a picture-perfect country cottage and the owners have carefully preserved many of the original features to retain that charming cottage-feel. This sympathetic sense of style is clearly in evidence in the lounge an attractive room with wooden floors inviting sofas a warming wood burner and a beamed ceiling as well as a TV/DVD. The kitchen/diner too has been thoughtfully finished with a tiled floor farmhouse table and an excellent range of equipment including an oven hob microwave fridge and dishwasher whilst the freezer a second fridge and a washing machine can be found tucked away in a separate utility room which also has a WC and hand basin. The master king-size bedroom can also be found on the ground floor and has been finished to a very high standard with a beamed apex ceiling oak floorboards a seating area with a sofa and its own TV and even a wood burner all of which help to create a retreat-like feel to this beautiful space. A shower room with a shower and WC can also be found on the ground floor whilst a door from the kitchen opens onto traditional cottage stairs leading up to the three remaining bedrooms and family bathroom. The first of these is another king-size room again boasting its own seating area with a sofa armchair and a TV. The third bedroom is a smaller-sized yet nonetheless delightful double room whilst the fourth is a pretty twin room and the family bathroom has a free standing bath separate shower WC and hand basin The property enjoys a fantastic amount of outside space with generously-sized terrace patio with garden furniture and a BBQ area next to the cottage beyond which steps lead to an impressively large lawn where children can happily play to their heart s content.
