House in Dorset

About this property

Enjoying an elevated position and built from local Purbeck stone, this attractive detached property offers glorious views of the Dorset coast and countryside and makes a wonderful family retreat.

Set among the Purbeck Hills, the idyllic coastal village of Worth Matravers makes a tranquil base for a relaxing Dorset holiday. There are breathtaking walks along the coast which is just a mile away, with the coastal path leading you to Chapman s Pool (1.5 miles) and to Lulworth Cove (16 miles). Nearby is the vibrant seaside town of Swanage (4.5 miles), which is known for its beautiful sandy beach and its traditional promenade and pier.
