10 South Street, BH20 5LL

If you’re looking for the perfect escape set in the heart of a quiet, pretty village with views across the Purbeck countryside then this beautiful cottage may be your escape to the country.

Stepping through the front door into the main living space you will have an immediate sense of history. There is plenty of space for coats and boots, and additional storage tucked under the stairs.

The main SITTING ROOM is spacious and with original windows on both sides it is filled with natural light, and plenty of ceiling height, unlike many cottages of this period.

A cosy log burner sits within an original brick fireplace in the centre of the room.

To the left as you enter the cottage is THE SNUG, which could equally be a charming DINING ROOM or indeed a third double bedroom.

With original flag stone flooring, and log burner within another original fireplace, it is hard not to be charmed by this additional living space.

Moving on from the sitting room, a passage takes you towards the cleverly designed KITCHEN.

The kitchen area houses everything you might expect in a modern kitchen, with plenty of workspace, a breakfast bar separates the eating area, which in turn happily houses a table for the family of 6 who live here.

The main feature of this room is undoubtedly the charming French doors that fill the room with light and open out onto the lawns which roll down to open countryside.

A perfect spot for Al Fresco dining. Returning to the passage there is a further door out into the stone courtyard and a perfectly located UTILITY / SHOWER ROOM.

With stylish exposed stone walling and contemporary shower, W.C. and wash basin.

This also houses the washing machine and tumble dryer…perfect positioning for families returning from muddy walks or sandy days on the beach.

The staircase itself is a significant feature of the home, being spacious and panelled, opening out onto the quintessentially cottage-style sleeping quarters.

The pretty LANDING leads to both bedrooms, with original wooden floorboards running throughout the upper floors. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is a further spacious room with charming windows on both sides.

One looking out across the lane towards the church and the other looking down across the gardens and Purbeck countryside beyond.

This room is currently used as the children’s room but lends itself as an unexpectedly large double.

BEDROOM TWO is also a double bedroom with more spectacular views across the lane and towards the church. There is a magnificent BATHROOM with roll top bath at centre stage.

Perfect for luxurious candlelit soaks or a fun filled bath time with rubber ducky and the kids.

Outside The French doors from the kitchen open out to a spacious, private garden with magnificent views across farmland, hills and towards the original village church.

From the kitchen side door there is a paved area with original flagstones, offering a sheltered spot tucked behind a raised stone bed.

The garden is also perfectly dog and child safe, offering plenty of space for running around…and an ideal canvas for any keen gardener.

Location Kingston is a small village all once part of the local country estate, set on a hill overlooking Corfe Castle and the Purbeck countryside.

The stone cottages and houses are nestled under the kindly eye of ‘The Cathedral of Purbeck’. A variety of country and coastal walks are on your doorstep.

The sandy beaches of Studland and Swanage are a short drive away…and swimming in Chapmans Pool (the local cove) is a stroll down South Street and into the valley leading to the sea.

There is a striving village community with events organised by neighbours who live both permanently and part time in the village.

Whether it is the regular monthly get-together in the pub or hay wagon tours through the local estate or a film night in the magnificent gothic style church, you will soon find yourself welcomed into village life whether you plan to live here full or part time.
