3 bedroom terraced house for sale

This charming, terraced cottage has been beautifully restored in a contemporary style, creating a light-filled and welcoming home.

A couple of steps lead down to the front door, which opens into a small entrance passage. To the right is a CLOAKROOM/UTILITY, not only a W.C. and space to hang coats but also fitted with a washing machine, tumble dryer, and additional sink — the perfect spot to leave muddy boots after a winter walk across the Purbeck Hills, or sandy gear after a summer’s day at the beach.
To the left lies the heart of the home: a stylish KITCHEN with all the modern appliances you’d expect, a bright window overlooking the front yard, and space for a dining table for four.

Finished to an exacting standard and complemented by parquet-style flooring, it offers the perfect blend of luxury and style. Double doors lead through to a generous, airy SITTING ROOM with space for two sofas, a study nook, and large glazed windows opening onto decking — in effect doubling the room and creating an ideal setting for al fresco dining.

Stairs rise past the home’s original front entrance to the first floor, where you’ll find BEDROOM TWO, a comfortably sized double enjoying views over the village, and BEDROOM THREE, another spacious double looking out across open countryside. Also on this level is the light-filled FAMILY BATHROOM, beautifully finished with panelling, a traditional roll-top bath, and a separate walk-in shower. A large built-in wardrobe and airing cupboard add generous storage, making this floor ideal for family living.
The top floor is devoted to the PRINCIPAL SUITE: a large double bedroom with dual dormer windows — one framing views towards the village, the other offering panoramic outlooks across Purbeck’s hills and woodland. Thoughtful design details include integrated shelving and discreet inbuilt cupboards, giving the space the feel of a boutique hotel suite. The adjoining SHOWER ROOM completes the picture, with a powerful walk-in shower, sleek slate finishes, and atmospheric lighting. From this enchanting retreat, you can watch the movement of life across Purbeck by day and by night.

Outside
To the front, the traditional cottage yard has been reimagined in a contemporary style, offering plenty of secure space for bikes, kayaks, paddleboards, and other outdoor gear. There is even a hosepipe for washing down muddy equipment. Storage has been thoughtfully designed, with bins and other items cleverly hidden behind sleek timber frontings.

The main garden lies to the rear and can be accessed directly from the sitting room through glazed doors onto an elevated DECKED TERRACE, with views down across the garden, perfect for sunset drinks. This was originally the front of the house and still retains a right of way used by the postman to deliver letters to the old front door, one of several charming quirks of this property.
Towards the bottom of the garden sits a dedicated HOME OFFICE: a surprisingly spacious and beautifully finished room, ideal for working from home but equally suitable as a studio or den for older children. Beyond this is a useful STOREROOM, which could be incorporated into the office if desired, and behind that a GARDEN SHED for tools and equipment.

While the current vendors have maximised the amount of usable space, the garden has retained a secluded charm. Sheltered from stronger weather, it can be enjoyed year-round watching the turning seasons in the mature apple tree, and harvesting its bounty in autumn.

Location
This cottage is ideally placed for family life. St George’s Primary School is just a short walk from the house, making the school run simple and safe.

The Kings Arms remains a hub of the community. With a beer garden and fantastic food, it’s a favourite with both locals and holidaymakers. The world-famous Square and Compass is also within easy reach along the Priest’s Way footpath.

For younger children, Putlake Adventure Farm is just 100m from the house. With soft play, go-karts, farm animals and more, it’s a brilliant day out, the vendors’ three-year-old especially loves her visits there.

The Purbeck Breezer 40 bus makes life simple for families in Langton Matravers. Stopping at several points through the village, it runs around every 20 minutes during the day and takes just a few minutes to reach Swanage. It’s ideal for the school run, shopping trips, popping down to the beach, or connecting with onward travel from Swanage to Poole, Bournemouth and beyond.

This is a location where families can thrive — with good schooling, a welcoming community, glorious countryside and coastal walks.
