4 Bed in Worth Matravers (oc-ic175)

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 super-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. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a comfortable double bedroom alongside a shower room with a shower and WC, whilst a door from the kitchen opens onto traditional cottage stairs leading up to the two remaining bedrooms and family bathroom. The first of these is another super-king size room, again boasting its own seating area with a sofa, armchair, and a TV. Beyond this, guests can choose between a charming double bedroom or twin room (select at time of booking). Cosier in size, both offer a delightful and restful retreat at the end of the day. Finishing this space is 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. A separate walled courtyard can also be found alongside the cottage. There is parking for four to five cars available on the driveway.
