SUPERBLY PRESENTED 3 BEDROOM PURBECK STONE CHARACTER HOUSE IN RURAL VILLAGE LOCATION WITH PARKING, GARDEN AND AMAZING VIEWS OF THE PURBECK HILLS The pretty, rural village of Kingston stands high above Corfe Castle with fantastic views looking over the Castle to the inland estuaries of Poole Harbour beyond. The village is dotted with traditional cottages built of the local Purbeck stone, an imposing local church and popular village pub. Around Kingston there are many farms that have been in existence since Saxon times. Kingston means ‘King’s farm and manor’ and was indeed once owned by Saxon kings before it was finally granted to the Abbess of Shaftesbury. The Abbess also owned the mound at Corfe and William the Conqueror persuaded her to swap it for a church in Gillingham. He then built the castle on it in 1086. Chapel Cottage at the foot of Kingston Hill, derives its name from the adjacent old Wesleyan Chapel built in 1861, still standing but now converted to a private residence. Chapel Cottage built of Purbeck Stone is a beautifully presented 3 bedroom home with many original character features internally and externally extending into the charming cottage garden. Amazing views of the surrounding Purbeck Hills are offered from both front & rear of the cottage.

Outside

To the front of the house, a driveway provides off road parking for two cars. Stone steps and path provide access to both front and back door and continue around the side of the house to the rear. At the rear a pretty cottage garden extends from the stone patio surrounded by low retaining walls which rise up to a lawned area enclosed with Purbeck stone walls either side. A path follows through this part of the garden to the informal end of the garden, separated by shrubs and hedging, this area lends itself to a low maintenance children’s play area or vegetable patch with garden shed.
