HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Corfe Castle is one of the most beautiful and unspoilt villages in Dorset and lies at the heart of the Isle of Purbeck, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The stunning ruins of the castle overlook the village and surrounding countryside, most of which is protected by the National Trust. Westcott is a wonderful, 16th century, detached cottage, situated in West Street, a cul-de-sac, which is one of Corfe's most picturesque and desirable locations. Beautifully renovated, the cottage retains an immense charm with the original beamed ceilings, deep sills, leaded windows, flagstone floors and characteristic Purbeck stone tile roof. Inside, the traditional features blend wonderfully with the contemporary design. The open plan living area has flagstone floors, with rugs for warmth, an inglenook fireplace and bread oven, large comfy sofas and a dining table with leather chairs. The quality of furnishings is exceptional throughout with mosaic copper slate tiles in the shower room and a roll-top bath and tumbled-marble tiling in the bathroom. The beautiful, bespoke, Shaker kitchen has Purbeck stone flooring and opens onto the patio and garden. Upstairs, the attractive bedrooms have traditional low doorways and Bedroom 4 has sloping ceilings and is most suited for a child. The fully enclosed garden has a slide and wooden play tower and views to the castle.

Corfe Castle has a village shop, baker, Post Office and four pubs serving a wide range of food and beers. The railway station is perfectly preserved with a regular steam train to Swanage. A short walk from Westcott is Corfe Common, a delightful, natural wildlife habitat. The Isle of Purbeck has a golf course, mountain biking trails and a variety of water sports. The Jurassic Coast is a spectacular stretch of coastline, designated a World Heritage Site and part of the South West Coast Path. Nearby Studland Bay has stunning sandy beaches backed by dunes and the National Trust Nature Reserve.
