This is a unique opportunity to acquire an outstanding end-terraced Grade II Listed cottage part of a small terrace of three with a number of original stone workshop/stores in the South facing rear garden. Steeped in character and reflecting the area's rich architectural history, the cottage offers a period home with a wealth of original features. Of historic note, it is thought to date back over 250 years, although it has been considerably altered in the ensuing years. Coombe Court is situated in a fine position on the outskirts of Swanage and Langton Matravers, adjoining open country and about half a mile from the centre of the village and one and a half miles from Swanage.
The cottage is constructed of natural Purbeck stone, under a stone tiled roof. The accommodation is arranged over three floors and whilst in need of some updating, original features have been retained including an attractive Purbeck stone fireplace and beamed ceilings.
The seaside resort of Swanage lies at the eastern tip of the Isle of Purbeck, delightfully situated between the Purbeck Hills. It has a fine, safe, sandy beach, and is an attractive mixture of old stone cottage and more modern properties. To the South is the Durlston Country Park renowned for being the gateway to the Jurassic Coast and World Heritage Coastline
