Dorset, BH19 3LQ

Wild Hill is a rare opportunity to acquire a charming cottage tucked away in the heart of Worth Matravers.

Set just back from the iconic stone quarrymen’s cottages, the property enjoys an immediate sense of space and light on approach.

This single storey Purbeck stone home sits within a generous plot and offers clear potential to extend upwards, subject to the necessary planning consents.

What is immediately apparent on entering is the exceptional sense of light and openness, enhanced by its position within a wraparound garden.

A bright HALLWAY welcomes you in, with space for coats and boots, and from here all rooms lead off.

The SITTING ROOM enjoys a dual aspect, with large windows overlooking both the front and rear gardens, allowing natural light to pour in throughout the day.

A table and chairs are positioned to make the most of the sunny outlook, while a Purbeck stone fireplace provides a cosy focal point in the evening.

Adjacent to this is the KITCHEN, well-proportioned and fitted in a mid-century style, opening directly onto the garden and offering excellent scope for modernisation or reconfiguration.

Continuing down the corridor, the sleeping accommodation is well arranged. There is a FAMILY BATHROOM, followed by a generously sized PRINCIPAL BEDROOM which also benefits from an ENSUITE shower room.

Opposite is BEDROOM 2, a spacious double with views across the front garden. BEDROOM 3 is another well-proportioned double, enjoying sunny views towards the garden and its established fruit trees.

Subject to planning, there appears to be ample scope to increase the internal space by extending into the roof, which would suit the proportions of the plot.

Outside Wild Hill offers two distinct areas of garden.

At the end of London Row there is a grassed PADDOCK providing parking for two cars, along with additional open space enjoying views across the village and towards the surrounding countryside.

A short walk across the lane leads into the main cottage garden, which wraps around the house.

Here, a quintessential Dorset garden unfolds, enclosed by Purbeck stone walls and planted with mature fruit trees, creating a series of quiet corners to sit and enjoy the setting.

A particularly charming feature is the conversion of a former stone outbuilding into a sheltered dining nook, providing an ideal space for outdoor meals protected from the elements.

The gardens surround the house, creating both privacy and a strong connection between the cottage and its landscape.

It is rare to find a property in the centre of Worth Matravers that combines such character with this level of space.

Location Worth Matravers is one of the most historic and characterful villages on the Isle of Purbeck, with origins dating back to Saxon times and a long association with the Maltravers family following the Norman Conquest.

Today it retains a strong sense of its past, with traditional stone cottages, narrow lanes and a distinct identity set within the Jurassic Coast landscape.

At its heart lies a village green, home to the well-known tea rooms, while just a short walk away is the much loved Square and Compass pub.

The village hall hosts a range of events throughout the year, including the popular summer fete, all set within some of Dorset’s finest coastal and countryside walking.

Investment Wild Hill is currently run as a successful holiday let. Worth Matravers is an exceptional location for holiday letting, combining natural beauty, character and year round appeal.

Set within the Jurassic Coast, it attracts visitors throughout the seasons, from summer holidays to spring and autumn walking breaks.
