Character 3 bedroom grade II listed, thatched cottage in the heart of corfe castle village, many traditional features & beautiful long garden with direct access to common land beyond
Corfe Castle is one of the most picturesque villages in Dorset and certainly Purbeck, with the dramatic ruins of the Castle standing on a natural hill guarding the village and the main route through the Purbeck Hills. The Castle now in the hands of The National Trust is an interesting and educational attraction for all ages. The village benefits from a variety of pubs, restaurants, cafés, village shop, village bakery, gift shops and the Swanage Heritage Railway has control of the Victorian Station as an active part of its passenger service and utilises other station buildings as a museum.
Deep Thatch is a 16th Century, Grade II Listed Cottage, constructed of solid wall Purbeck Stone under a traditionally thatched roof with the rear extension roof being tiled. The original part of the property retains many typical character features for a cottage of this age, including a fabulous stone inglenook fireplace and exposed ceiling timbers. From the rear garden there is direct access the ‘The Halves’ part of the historic common land surrounding Corfe Castle.
